Okay,
Less than three months ago, I wrote:
Originally posted by MXLX I'm shooting K-Mounts on an Olympus m4/3 body. If'n I wanted to dip my toe in the Takumar pond, what would be a good (and relatively inexpensive) starting point? Now, had I seen that gorgeous 85 a few days ago, that woulda been my starter. I have an Oly 50, and an SMC 55/1.8, so the 50/1.4 Tak would seem to be redundant, other than it's rep. Appreciate the input.
My "toe in the pond" was a nice 105. Then I discovered
The Survivor in a box upstairs.
Others have opined that this forum is a bad influence, or at least an expen$ive one. Since the 105, I've had an amazing combination of luck and lack of willpower. Joining those two are (in rough chronological order):
SMC 28/3.5
35/3.5
150/4
SMC 50 Macro
135./3.5 (free)
17 Fish-Eye
SMC 200/4
Not meaning to brag; I think this may be an affliction.
I gotta shoot more.
And yes, you buzzards are bad influences.
