Originally posted by aslyfox I think cross-posting is generally to be discouraged, unless an image is particularly relevant in more than one thread, as is having a thread for every possible classification or type of lens because it's just ridiculous. There's nothing wrong with the FA Limited thread and it's absolutely the place I would check to see sample images of these lenses.
Originally posted by sundown I saw the lens on flickr, it's a beautiful MIJ specimen, extra points for tan pouch
did you buy it locally?
Yes, I bought it in Madrid, had my eye on it for some time but the seller rejected my first offer so I spent what I had on something else (Fujifilm 18-55mm f/2.8-4) and had to accumulate more funds before trying a second offer. I think the previous owner accepted it begrudgingly as he told me he paid a lot more for it, but markets fluctuate and as it was still for sale I suppose he hadn't had any other offers as high as mine.
