Hi all,
I know, I know... just another "which one" thread. If you don't like them, you can stop reading now.
If you don't mind sharing your opinion, I'll be happy to hear it though.
So, situation is: I have just bough 77ltd and have to sell some other stuff to finance it. FA100/2.8 macro is going for sure but that doesn't get me even to the half of the budget so I should be selling another lens. But...
Shall I keep the TRIO (all silver, all made in Japan) or shall I keep 31 + 50/1.2 + 77?
Both lenses have pros and cons (subjective):
43: + size, weight, AF, AE
- tad short for portraiture, tad slower I'd like, not as nice OOF rendering as 50/1.2
50/1.2: + probably the best IQ I've seen from Pentax SMC lens, unmatched OOF rendering, great short portrait lens,
- size, weight, prone to CAs, fully manual
Ideally I'd keep both, but I don't think my finances will allow it. So if you were in my boots, which one would you keep?
Thanks,
Peter
PS: option 3: sell 10-20 and keep 31, 43, 50, 77 (I am really considering this too..as much as I love 10-20...)
