I was told as a young lad that I have addictive tendencies. I've been watching my self for the past 50 years not to go over the top. It was working until I got involved here.
Can't stop my self looking for the perfect lens, I have a good selection, just bought a samyang 85mm 1.4. (Am I a lens junkie?
)
I have 75mm 1.4 and 100mm 1.5. Just wanted a good lens to fill the gap. While waiting for it to turn up, has anyone tried one?

Oh-Yeah! You are a lens junkie OK!
The all forum is addictive, Toni but you are not alone, mate. Did you see this lens?

The guy re-listed it; It is a fast lens but at a price.

I have that one Franco, first from left.
The way I look at it is this, my tac30 was almost £250, my genises was £350. So few hundred on a glass is norm
so my samyang 85mm for £170 is not bad really.

There's nowt wong with being a lens whore Toni - we both know cheaper so-so lenses get cheaper results that will need IR a lot more often.
These rigs are still creeping towards much more expensive IR rarely needed gen2 tubed performance.

I've passed that stage rob, I'm still dreaming of that bundle you had.
Lens is not the only issue, ordered two ej230 today. One for spare just in case I go cold turkey. As long as there is a flow I'll be ok. I can't imagine what I'll do without these gadget.
Long night are upon us, I'll be ok for now.
Missus is not happy with me being in the shed so I promised her I'll move to the garage. Lol more space there.

My missus is not happy with me using the dining room ad suggested a new shed might be better.
You can never please them.

Just do it right - a timber workshop looks like a shed to most people.
