Rocky is a little bit disingenuous (or quite clever) in the adverts, especially the lenses. The pics can be very general and the description tends to give focal length but not always aperture, model number or even maker. Given that a lot of lenses have several different versions, it's not 100% certain exactly what he's selling.

We need to visit York at some point. Heard good things. How many did you buy? One case? Yeah he doesn't make it easy, couldn't tell if it's a 22A or not. Not sure of the significance between 22a or 40a.

York is OK at this time of year and nice for a weekend visit but it's always cold. Best to avoid June-September when it tends to be heaving with foreign tourists.
I was restrained and only bought 8 rolls. So far, unlike Leeds, I've never known them not to have any.
I think the 22a and 40a are very similar but the later model 40 is a little smaller and lighter and supposedly, slightly optically better. But, TBH, I was pretty happy with the results from the 22a in China

So would Easter be a good time?

It's a massive tourist draw so any popular time will be busy. Plenty of places to walk though so half-decent weather would be good. I think you just have to give it a go.

Will have a chat with the other half and sort something out.

I don't have Instagram, Facebook or Twitter but I do have the OM D M10ii and am very impressed.
Can't use the wireless/connectivity function though. Windowsphone....

Is the X700 any good?

Yeah. I really like it. For me, it's one of those that just feels good in the hand. If you can get one for a good price, go for it.
