Saved from temptation by not being in Australia!

**southlander** · 11-07-2012, 03:04 PM

No, distance is no salvation. The lens is only ten minutes drive away!

**pearsaab** · 11-08-2012, 06:41 AM

Gaaahh! Why didn't I see this last week. Over the past week, I've bought several fixed FL lenses because I've been dissatisfied with the zooms I currently have.

Having just read the reviews, maybe I can buy this and dispense with some of my other lenses. How can I hide this from my wife.......?

bdery · 11-16-2012, 05:58 AM

I just got my and I encourage anyone interested to buy it!

p38arover · 11-16-2012, 12:56 PM

Looking at my finances and what lenses I can sell.

OK, I'd like to buy it.

My wife will kill me but one only lives once. I had better sell some other lenses as she has commented on my LBA. I think I might have to pass on the Yamaha XJR1300 motorbike I wanted to buy back from the bloke I sold it to last Easter (he was gunna trade it in).

The wife will forgive you - eventually!
Sold, pending processing of EFT

This is what I was going to buy back - he's only done 1000km on it since I sold it to him:

And this is what you got:

I'm sure it was a tough decision. 20 years ago the bike would have looked better - today the lens does for me........

p38arover · 11-16-2012, 07:58 PM

It looks a bit bigger than my SMC F 100-300mm

I've still got another bike - a Suzuki DL650 V-Strom. I inherited it and the XJR from my son aka Bucko. I might have to sell the Ohlins rear suspension upgrade I bought on Friday.

I'm currently surrounded by lenses and teleconverters as I get ready to take their pic to put them up for sale before my wife gets back from interstate on Monday.

I want the zoom for taking motorbike racing pix.

stormtech · 11-16-2012, 08:27 PM

I think you will find your efforts well worth it - it is an absolutely stunning lens!
