It's used for paperweight!
Who doesn't have paperweight at home, can buy it and join the rant :shock:

Yeh Thank Fozzie and Birdy, i figured as much, i had a chuckle but yeh not often we see and of this type of camera gear in our local rag, so i think someone local has been ripped by one of the local stores. not my6 type of thing, i have 50mm 1.8 i think on my list and some portable storage.
Thanks
