Originally posted by Gary H Perth I would never sell either of those macros. Over a few years, I built a collection of the Limiteds (15, 21, 35, 40, 70) and the two DFA macros 50 and 100mm. This is a complete set of primes for APSC.
I have the SMC 15mm Limited as my main lens, which I use in about 80+% of my shots because it's excellent for light painting. I also have the 18-135mm for a walkabout and dragstrip trackside lens, and the HD DA 55-300mm for long range. I also have the 50mm f/1.2 I'm thinking of selling off too, but my wife may want it for getting action photos of the kids. I'll personally not very enthusiastic about that lens.
For my needs, I'm set without the macros, but I know they are highly respected. I may hang on to them depending on how other sales go, but waiting over 2 minutes to export in Topaz DeNoise
per photo on my laptop when I have a batch of 10-20 to process, on top of the actual adjustment preview rendering time, and a newer computer sounds really awesome. XD
Quote: I would rather sell my wedding-gift classic English crockery set or my Italian crystal and keep the two lenses.
So would I, but only because I don't care about fancy cookware.
