Originally posted by Wheatridger The F 24-50 is a great bargain at about $150 used. I stocked up on these before the K-1 came, thinking they would become more valuable and popular, but that didn't happen. I was very happy using mine. There was a slight loss of contrast wide open, but it's sharp one stop down. It's small, though a little heavy. My ideal would be a 24-85/4, but that's not made, so ...
Down the road a bit...Maybe you would be interested in selling me one ?
I have made my decision for the long run , and its the FA 20-35 when I can afford one and can actually find one at a fair price.
Your statement about the price not increasing on the "F" .....and the fact its quite easy to find -VS- the "FA" and its increased price , plus the fact its newer yet much more Scarce.....lead me to believe that many others have made their choice the same way.......thanks !
