Yeah. No way I'd actually buy that 55mm, but switching over to Zeiss primes is something I have been seriously considering over the last year. I never use AF anyway and the focus rings on the best canon lenses leave a lot to be desired. One day.

After ebaying some lenses that I really don't use, I picked up a lens that I've been wanting for a while:

Leica-R Summicron 50/2

I have a Sony NEX 6 and shoot with mainly legacy MF lenses. Should be here tomorrow and the adapter on Thr or Fri. Can't wait to shoot with it!

What that red ring do?

Finally found one for under $600. Def not mint on the outside but glass is in great shape, focuses super fast and quiet. Took a few practice shots and liking it so far.

Its the 28-70mm 2.8L (The precursor to the 24-70mm 2.8). Couldnt afford the current version but hopefully this will do ok. Took a few pics outside and the colors are amazing.

Only down side is its still to long on a crop body! Was hoping to replace my tamron 17-50mm 2.8 but might need to upgrade to FF first.

I did notice its a little tight to put on and take off compared to any of my other lenses, but not really a big deal.

WTF under 600? i paid $1100cdn about 4 years ago for mine. nice deal.

Loc: Barrie, Ont,
Just bought a EF-S 17-55mm f2.8 last week.



Will be selling my EF 70-200 F4L and upgrading to the IS version or a used 70-200 f2.8.. Who knows.

Well on the super non-baller side of the spectrum, I'm pretty happy with the Sigma 28mm f/2.8 and Tamron 80-210 Adaptall-2 I bought on ebay last week for $20 total. Legacy lenses on an almost dead platform ftw?
