That lens looks to perform seriously well!
Originally posted by pentaxus I wonder how long it will take for one to be available used...... or how long by saving $20 a month?
I usually finance gear by not smoking - and I don't smoke. It works like this: This lens would cost me the same as smoking 20 a day for three months. I'm sure I can afford that! If I "need" something even more expensive I'll just not smoke 30 a day instead
Ok, that works only if you actually have the funds and just need justification. But still, most of us have some "hidden" and unnecessary expenses - like smoking, or stopping for a $5 coffee on the way to work.
