The lens seems good, one must wonder why the PO disposed of the lens...

I can't help but notice the perch peg on the feeder appears to be aluminium, might it not be more comfortable for the birds if you used a bit of round wood like a twig, drilled up the centre and slid over the aluminium perch with a little glue to keep it from rotating? Just a thought... The bird seems to be clenching the aluminium peg very tightly.


I asked WEX the same question!!

They said they were experiencing a lot of people switching to mirrorless.

You can imagine my response (if that were true) .:lol:

The lens is totally unmarked and all the contents eg straps and pouch, unused. It had all the impressions of someone who bought it and never bothered to use it....unless they did and found something wrong with it? That's why I have to try it out exhaustively next week before 14day cooling off period, 'warms up'.

It's funny you mention the birds grip on the perch. It had just lost its grip on a sunflower seed it was sandwiching between its claws. The claws were interlocked round each other and the seed in manner that made me wonder if it was gripping the perch at all.

The perches are aluminium for hygiene. As they are easier to clean which is important to stop diseases crossing between different species. That's the official story of course.....I never wash the branches of the tree it's hanging in.
o.O
