Here's my only F series lens that I got:
Gives good shots and the "macro" close focusing feature is useful.
The thing is, while the optics are good, the normal F series lenses have this dated look aesthetically speaking. The focusing ring is thin hard grey plastic with the body wrapped with grey rubber that can peel in some cases.
Frank, incredible colors & sharpness in those captures, there. That lens came
up in the local Craigslist, asking price: $450. By the time I got in touch with the
guy about 45 minutes after the listing, he had sold it to someone for $700
after a frantic bidding war. A couple weeks later the buyer put it up for sale for
$1000 and I think it sold. Crazy good lens.
creampuff - you should post some shots from that lens. Also, I kinda agree
on the cosmetic 'look' of the F's, I've grown to kinda like the look now, don't
know why.
