Happy to sell at the current retail given its still difficult to aquire, doesn't feel ethical to ask over retail. 

 

Cheers

That’s very nice of you... but I honestly don’t think anyone would fault you for making a few bucks.

That's just a hair bigger than my favorite wide angle setup with the CL.

:D

I would urge you to not sell your Q2 in haste - give this some careful thought and serious consideration before you sell. 

I would suggest that you give this a try:   Shoot with your Q2 for the next three or four months and then see how you feel.  If you take a few weeks to learn to use the 28mm effectively, you may want to keep it.  If you get rid of your Q2 without really thinking it through, you will end up kicking yourself (been there, done that).

The 28mm focal length is not a jack of all trades lens like a 24-70mm zoom or a 50mm prime.  The 28 requires more of a photographer in terms technique and framing.  Many times, you have to get close to your subject.  That makes some photographers uncomfortable. 

If you continue to use a 28 and require yourself to get closer to your subjects, that discomfort will fade away and lose its power over you.  It just takes a little time - less than you would think, by the way - and it requires discipline.  You have to be willing to say to yourself, "No - no.   I'm not going to settle for a mediocre image.  I am going to do what I need to do and get closer."

I have traded off or sold several cameras or lenses over the years, only to discover 6-12 months later that I'd made a huge mistake.  Don't be "that guy."

 

Thanks for this advise, I have withdrawn from sale and I am going to use it for a few months before making a decision. 

I based my decision to sell on a couple of issues, fixed lens and the very long time it takes to process long exposures. But there is no perfect camera and maybe there will be a firmware to turn off long exposure noise reduction. 

Thanks again
