I'm a weakling, I couldn't hold out any longer.

These 2 lens arrived today. I fear that my LBA has just begun.

I know that you'll love the 50 - 135, and good luck with the 16 - 50

troywhite · 08-16-2008, 03:20 AM

oooh I'd love one of these. they are just a little *too* far beyond my wife justification level.

well done. hope you enjoy them.

(hmmm thinking of ways I can convince the lady to let me buy at least the 50-135)

*benjikan* · 08-16-2008, 03:25 AM

Great lenses. I have both. Wish I could use my 50-135 more often. I rarely shoot long.

Plus your Spongebob Squarepants outfit. Go get 'em Ben.

id like to own the 50-135, but I cant justify it since my K110D is neither weather sealed or SDM capable. what a lens though. and yes good luck with the 16-50.

AVANT · 08-16-2008, 09:57 AM

Yeah, thx for all the good lucks, I too hope I got a good version of the 16-50. I'll be doing some focus tests and see how the lens performs.

*khardur* · 08-16-2008, 04:22 PM

*wiping chin* nice glass...!

Someday I'll get pick up one of these. I have to make do with what I have at the moment.

I too caved in and bought the 16-50mm last week... didn't let the fact that I might be laid-off from my job soon stop me, either :P But seriously, it's a great lens if you get a good copy. Mine seems fine so far and I think it will soon become my favorite lens.

*paolojackson* · 08-22-2008, 12:19 PM

I'm right there with you but in a slightly different way...I just received my DA 12-24. Was considering picking up one of those DA* lenses.

Got mine 2 weeks ago... when you have a good copy of this lens then its heaven.

This lens has not come off my camera, I just love it
