what the heck!
i bought a new camera bag too.
the small domke 5xb, i hope the right size for a zi with 2 lenses and some film.
 
Nice to see you so excited about things. This camera seems to be exactly what you needed to stir things up a bit. Can't wait to see photos of (and hopefully from) the lens. :)
 
Tomorrow I'm not broke...heading down to the drug store and picking up what Tri-X they actually have (which isn't much) and shooting some of it. Going to the bar tomorrow night, methinks...should get some awesome shots. I haven't been down to my favorite bars in ages...I haven't been *anywhere* in ages.

No work tomorrow. I think a walk around town shall be in order.
 
You won't regret getting a 25. Wish I had one instead of my 28.
 
The 25 is a superb lens...I definitely would have gone with one over the 28mm. 28mm never really did it for me. But I must admit I had a 28 ultron and it was an excellent lens...if I had to go with another 28, I would go with the ultron over the ZI for the speed and the price. The build quality on it was very good.
 
Joe: Either lens is a winner for sure, so I'm excited for you, but ... TELL US ABOUT HOW YOU LIKE THE BAG!!!

Congrats Joe! From all I read it gotta be one terrific lens.
 
Good move, Joe. You had to find out for yourself. The good news is that if it doesn't fit your shooting needs, you can sell it to one of us. :p :D :angel:

I'm so jealous. When I was still in SLR-land, I always dreamed of having a CZ T* 25/50/85 combination... I suddenly feel this strange need to start saving! :D
 
wow, thanks guys, lots of comments.

i asked for a black bag. i think all camera bags should be black...;)
and it looks like what i need and if it is i will have a billingham for sale (at a good price).

25/35 and maybe down the road the zm 50...go for the trifecta (sp?)

you guys created a monster...

joe
 
C'mon joe... 25?? pffffft ;)

21mm.. or sell one of your kidneys and get the 15mm :D
Go W-I-D-E or go home ;)

(can't wait to see images with these lenses)
Cheers

Joe,
When I had Contax SLR stuff (in the '80s) one lens seemed to suit me perfectly--the
25 Distagon (OK, so it was closer to 26mm actual FL). I've never been able to adjust
to 28mm, but just that little extra made all the difference, without getting into
lenses with characteristics which scream "wide angle". Congrats--I think it was a
perfect choice.
