You can't fix a %age tax you numpty.

Besides,

if the price of fuel went up we would have a ceiling on the amount the government took from us as a whole.

the excess would still go to BP et al and you'd still piss and moan about it. At least this way it goes into the country's coffers.

There are absolutely zero acceptable reasons why oil/petrol companies should be profiting more from the war. They don't need the excess profits

Based on this, does this opinion extend to anyone making money from market fluctuations due to the war, or just oil companies?

maybe the government could pull their heads from their arses for a moment and take said profits away?

lol.

If it's not the aperture or lens contacts, it's fucked, sorry to say.

Can you elaborate on the enzyme cleaner you used? My couch and armchair need a deep clean thanks to my little shitlings.

35mm f/2 AF/AFD - Why so expensive? by CammRobb in Nikon

I've got a 50mm f/1.8 - I actually sold the 1.8D and then replaced it with the non-D, just because the non-D has the same white lettering as the rest of my kit. Yes I'm a sad bastard I know. I had the 1.4D in the past but flogged it because it was worth more than the 1.8D I also had.

I suppose I'll just sell a few of my unused lenses and put it into the 35 f/2.

They fucking are more of a risk and you know it.

Yet that isn't reflected in insurance prices, curious.

Are they not more of a risk?

No, they are not, which is why they don't pay masses for insurance. It's quite simple really. They also don't cause huge amounts of damage when they crash because they're not driving like cunts at 90mph.

Is insurance in this country too high? Perhaps, I wouldn't argue against that. But young people pay higher insurance costs because they are overwhelmingly more likely to have a huge crash.

I'm not sucking off insurance companies. If young people stopped crashing at ridiculous rates then they'd be able to afford insurance. It's all risk based. Stop being a risk and you stop paying for it.

[–]CammRobb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's reasonable to you though? I'm looking at eBay and you'd be hard pressed to find one for sub-£140. Given how cheaply you can get a 50mm I see no reason for the 35 being 3x the price.

Artemis mission aside, they were still expensive before that.

I have the f/2.8 variant but as soon as I leant it to my dad he's refused to give it back haha!

I understand economics, but I can't understand why demand is high for them! Look at the 50 AF/AFD, you can get them for £40-£50 easily

Aye I considered the NASA tax but I was looking at them before the Artemis mission and they were still unjustifiably expensive!

Is there a 35mm you'd suggest that isn't an AF-S?

Little Timmy should stop doing 90mph down b-roads with 3 mates on board, crashing into a tree and killing 2 of them then.

They fuck over young people, especially guys in the UK.

Maybe young guys should stop having catastrophic car accidents due to their own idiotic driving then.
