Originally posted by bossa I wasn't planning this but I just bought a used DA*55 and a DA* 60-250 from the same guy on eBay. I just got off the phone to him and he sounded decent but it's still scary. The lenses are 3 months old so I have asked for the sales receipts for warranty purposes.
I'll see if the 60-250 can replace my DA*200 and FA* 300 and go from there. I doubt I'll let go of the 50-135 though but you never know.
The DOF of the 55 is like a 50 1.2 so I just had to try it and if it's as good as you guys demonstrate for me then I'll sell my Sigma 50 (which I really like).
I'll be selling off my 2 50mm A-lenses and a Tamron 17-50 to try and recover some cash..
More debt.. just what I don't need and the terrifying wait now begins.
Sorry guys.. I had to vent somewhere and this seemed the right place.
You won't regret buying the 60-250, its a winner.
I'm also very tempted by the 55, but, as it happens, I'm off right now to meet with someone to buy a DA* 16-50, so the DA55 will have to wait.
