I the last couple of months I've purchase the following lens;
Tak 28/3.5 35/3.5 50/1.4 55/1.8 105/2.8 135/3.5 200/4
Vivitar S1 105/2.5 Macro
Cosina 55/1.2
FA 50/2.8 Macro
(Takumar) F 70-200
The Vivitar, Cosina and FA 50 Macro cost some money and are either brand new or as new..
The Tak 105 cost a bit, came with a filter and looks to be virtually unused.
The rest were very inexpensive IMO 30 to 70 dollars.
-or-
I could have got a couple of DA Ltd instead.
Naturally I've read reviews and specs but images are what sell me.
For most of the shooting I do AF seems to cause more problems then it solves. I have a rack of incredible MF glass for not a lotta cash.
I have a few more on my radar, I'm looking for specific lens not necessarily cheap lens. The hunt is fun.
I don't see this as LBA, it's sensible shopping, and I like to fondle Tak's. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
