Pentax and LBA... Ordered P-D FA 100mm

Duh_Vinci · 03-14-2007, 01:54 PM

After few weeks of consideration between Sigma 105mm, Tamron 90mm and Pentax P-DF A 100mm - placed an order today for Pentax...

I'm catching it too! Thanks to all with LBA sickness, I'm spending more money - and I think I'm going to like it

Spring is coming (feels like its here) so I thought this would be the best investment in lens for the time being, I know I will use it! And $100 rebate is handy indeed.

Regards,
D

EDIT: You know, there is no guilty feeling either... Strange...

Yeah, it is hard to pick which ones I should bring to an overseas trip!

D FA seems bulky with the bag - without the bag, I am scared of the scratches. The sad thing is that most of my brand "new" lenses now have minor scratches ouch!

Actually the sigma lenses are really not being used that much

Man, scratches on the body of a lens shows the maturity of the lens! Don't diss it!

(Of course if the glass was scratched it means another thing!

LOL You guys crack me up!!!

Beach Camera called earlier to confirm the order ("fraud protection") - no complaints from me, shipped today

Got an email that 540 FGZ is back in stock at B&H, so called and ordered it too (yep, been saving up).

Spending money never felt so good! And still no feeling of guilt!!!

D
