With all these transactions and attempted transactions when do you guys have time to take pictures? Or is that no longer the name of the game? :D :D

Who cares, as long as we're all having fun?

Congratulations Joe!
 
It is all about pictures. It just took a while to accumulate the necessary gear. I've got that now. Look for my gallery to expand soon.
 
Oh yes, sorry I forgot. These days we have a digicam for pictures. :p :p

PS Please don't banish me from the forum.
 
I only use my digital p+s to take pictures of my children to send my parents by email, and to photograph my film gear.
 
just wait kurt, i'm gonna be a shootin' fool with that 50/1.5!!

and i could never toss out my favourite tour guide!

Try to test the 1.5 with others 50´s that you have. I havent doubts that you enjoy much with this lens.
 
Can I still join the "Nirvana Gear Club"? It's been a long time since I publically proclaimed my one-ness with my stuff.

For I am already one with my three bodies and five lenses. Why bother with more? :)
 
Using vintage lenses with distinctive fingerprints makes sense in the 35mm format. If your goal is the sharpest, most detailed image possible, simply use a medium format camera and a tripod. Even the latest aspherical lens from Leica can't compete with that. IMHO
 
The way I see it, it would just take the 85/2, 100/3.5, 135/3.5, and maybe also the 35/3.5 to trade up to your "white whale." You only live once, Joe.

Lol, I bet that just shattered your inner peace. :bang:

nah!
look at it this way, i already have the 85/2 which is so very close to a 100 fov, it's a very sharp lens and i can use it the same as the 100/2, in a dimmer room.
i have the 100/3.5, proven sharpness and small & light enough to fit in a shirt pocket if i chose such a foolish place to put it. i have the 135/3.5 on the way, reputed to be one of the sharpest 135's, along with the nikon, around.
the 35/3.5 is like a small treasure to me, long sought after at a good price because i doubt it will get the use the others do unless it has a special 'i like it' signature.

actually i think the 100/2 is not even on my list any longer.

ah, inner peace survives...;)

the serenar 85/2 is plenty sharp. it's also a bigger heavy lens but i don't think you'd throw your back out or anything.
i got mine pretty cheap too.

Just kidding Joe. While I have two digicams I use film cameras far more and RF's more than LSR's. Good to keep one's hand in all formats, however, I think, as it keeps the mind sharp and at my age I have to think of that. Best wishes on using your 1.5 and keep healthy.
