I think I was a better photographer when all I had was a camera and one lens. Life was simple and I always had the right equipment because I had all of my equipment.
Stringer "I like photographs but my ability for critique is limited to some expression of "I like it". Otherwise "I don't like it" (probably a bug or snake) or indifferent (probably a cat)." -----Original Message----- From: PDML [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stanley Halpin Sent: Friday, July 1, 2016 11:07 AM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <[email protected]> Subject: Price jumps on the new lenses? $1800 -> $2300 I have been dithering. Just not sure if I want/need the 15-30, 24-70, 70-200 lenses. I ultimately descended into the depths of analytic consideration: I constructed a spreadsheet-type layout of my current and possible new lenses for APS-C, FF, and 645 cameras, and then stared at that for hours. Trying to anticipate what I would take on my next few planned trips, how I would carry it, what shots are “must have”, etc. And at least for now I do have all three bodies. Each has unique features, I already have a fairly broad set of lenses for the 645 and APS-C, but not for the K-1. Particularly if I want AW and quick-shift AF. So throughout the last few weeks as I have been agonizing over this issue, B&H helpfully, through the magic of cookies and other modern magic, has been popping up thumbnail teasers of their ongoing special deals. Throughout, the 24-70/2.8 has been right at $1300, the 70-200/2.8 right at $1800. This morning was the same. I clicked through to B&H and was shocked to see the 70-200/2.8 now at $2300! I jumped over to Adorama, their prices are still $1300 and $1800. I ordered both lenses. I’ll worry next week about whether I will keep one or both, but it seemed that if I waited it might cost me $500 or more above what I had been expecting. stan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
