 Thank you all for your comments. I went ahead and purchased the 60mm and was delighted to find it in mint condition to the point I would question if it had been used at all. I have been experimenting with it without additional lighting to get used to the lenses foibles. (they all have them)

As for flash. In the end I went for a standard gun that can be used remotely and wirelesses but both the camera and flash do have studio sync cable capabilities. The flash I go was extremely cheap at £25 but has a guide number of 58 and all the features i need. It doesn't do iTTL but that has never bothered me as I manually set my flash units anyway according to either a hand held meter reading and then as fill-in, or I bracket.
