First review of Q 06 tele zoom lens.

hnikesch · 05-03-2013, 05:02 PM

I have been watching the 06 at Adorama and B&H, the price has been $251 US, today it was increased to $296. With that price increase I couldn't wait any more. I searched and found one for $242 and ordered it.

Yeah, I ponied up for mine at $249 and I felt guilty. For about 5 minutes.

Guilty? I saved $46, I used my wife's math

I've been in and out of Advanced Probability Theory workshops and seminars for years and I've never figured out Wife's Algorithm.

I've been taking my Q to Pro sports where lenses longer than 4inches are verboten. The Q has been a solid performer, with the exception ofthe shutter lag, and constant f2.8 with ~250mm is very welcome. What isn't is this price increase. Ordered one for $256 out the door. Wish it could have waited but saving $40+ is important.
