Great justification for LBA.
Originally posted by boriscleto I agree with monochrome. AFAIC you can never have enough 50s.
Great to have support for the great justification!
You can have too many 50s - when you lose track of them or don't have time to use them. That said, I too have a growing collection of lenses in that ranger. Two copies of SMC Tak 55/2 - one in perfect shape, the other all bashed up but with smooth focusing, Helios 44M and a 44 preset, A50/2 that I may sell someday or may try out on a reversing ring, and a F50/1.7. I can't say I tried to collect them on purpose, but aside from the F50 I doubt I spent more than $30 on any of them. Still looking for a 1.4 in some flavor, but not willing to pay the prices they now fetch.
