My history of LBA

Jyrkira · 03-23-2014, 02:12 PM

I finally managed to acguire my first FA limited. And not only one but two of them.

I sold F 50/1.7, FA 35/2, DA 17-70 and one guitar to buy FA 31 & 43 limiteds and DA 20-40 limited.

Due the big change in my lenses I started to think what my lens history has been since I bought a K200D.

So I went though many images, emails, PMs here and other forums. Ebay receips etc. to know how bad my
LBA has been.

Here is it:

What I learnt is limiteds are conquering more and more space in my camera bag

F-series is strong too.

Do you know your history of LBA ?

I may confess it on my death-bed.

Shouldn't be too hard to find out as I don't sell lenses... But I can draw the same conclusion; the Limiteds are taking up more space! Three DAs so far, and one FA in the mail.

Cool looking chart. Everyone should have one

Thats gonna be one great trio of lenses you have there. I just had my FA 43 out today for portraits and boy is it a sharp lens.

Interesting. The only lens you maybe shouldn't have sold is the F135/2.8 (assuming you had a good copy). I came close to selling mine (FA version) after getting the DA*50-135, but now, because of the small size and AF speed, it's one of the more important lenses in my kit.

Wow! That's impressive! Is this like the first step for a LBA Anonymous group?

I'd be sort of embarrassed to chart all the lenses I tried to gobble up from the used market!

I have every lens I have ever bought except for two I gave to a close friend, so all I have to do is look at the shelf to see my LBA.
