So... I bid on to many fast 50's... I have a Yashica 50 1.4 as well as a smc a 50 1.7 with an attached A3000. There is at least one more smc a 50 1.7 I've bid on as well... 😮

The silly thing is I have no camera yet (apart from the A3000 on it's way)

At least the glass shouldn't drop in value right 😄

The pair of 1.7s are really nice lenses.

The A3000 is actually a nice camera to use, it allows both Aperture priority, and "program" (auto)

I used mine for a few rolls and found it a very simple to use camera, albeit my copy has some shutter sticking issues..

The A3000 with an auto aperture 40mm pancake lens would be a pretty amazing compact film camera.

I got the A3000 + 50 1.7 from shopgoodwill.com Goodwill auction for $22 shipped! Hope I enjoy it. Thanks for the info.

That is a bad sign, The monkeys on your back already. LBA is a hard habit to break. fortunately this group can help. But you have to want help first. repeat after me, I have a lens buying addiction, And I want help.

Add me to the LBA list.. But hey, at least I try to get good deals.. Try not to spend more than 50 on a lens.. and am only on a manual lens buying addiction.. lol

This is not an easy addiction to get rid of, as I found myself in a camera shop yesterday looking at the Pentax 50-135 2.8. It took a lot of will power to stop, especially as it was on sale at 1099.99 CAD. Not sure I'd use it though as I already have the 16-50 and the 60-250, but a little voice kept saying to me "Tim you know you want this, must keep the others lenses company". Oh dear what am I to do?

Mery Christmas everyone.
