I can not escape (new MF lenses)

SloPhoto · 02-20-2009, 12:45 PM

About a year ago I tried to sell off my pentax lenses and switch to canon (Using a 1d MKII for sports photography now)

I think the lens gods must have looked at me like this

A Zeiss ZF 28mm f2.0 arrived in the mail today.

With it came a Voigtlander Nokton 58mm 1.4

Now how did that happen.

I will update the thread this weekend with LBA pics.

It's not your fault. You can't be expected to withstand those lenses.

Sounds like you're stocking up on the good glass. I look forward to seeing some pictures.

Thats what I told the woman.

I got both for less than the Zeiss should have sold for by itself.

I am just not strong enough to resist.

I got down to just three lenses

FA 43 L (which I would have kept even without owning a pentax)
Voigtlander 125 macro (which I would convert to EOS should I ever fully leave pentax)
Hellios 40-2 (almost never use it, but damn is it neat)

Since I started buying back into canon gear for events, a Voiglander 180/4 and these two have magically appeared on my shelf.

Even worse, 90% of my shots with a canon camera are with my Tokina 35mm which is really a Pentax 35mm limited in drag.

I am so hopeless.
