ON ITS' WAY TO ME...

[Steve Parr]

Well, I just couldn't help myself. I've been needing a short zoom, and have been tempted a few times to order the 20-35mm USM online.

I found one, used, for $265.00:

I don't know that I've heard too many negative comments about this lens, so I figured I'd go for it. I thought the price was quite fair.

I don't think I'll have it by the weekend, but I'll definitely have it by next weekend!

You're going to like the way it works - similar build and feel to your 85 mm f/1.8. Good luck with a good lens!

I looked at one at Ritz Camera the other night, and I liked it. The down side of that copy was that the front element had more fingerprints than a crime scene, and they wanted five bills for it.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to receiving it. I'm sure that, once I receive it, I'll say to myself "Okay, Steve; you're done. You've got everything you need."

Then I'll look at some more "lens porn" online, and find something else I need. Man, and I thought I spent a lot of money on guitars!

If I had $100 for every time I said that, I'd have even more lenses. I've really got all the reasonable bases covered for myself, but no matter what you've got, there's always something out there worth looking at. For me, there's some high-dollar glass (200/1.8 or 500/4) that I'd like to have, but I can't realistically do that right now.

I'm really contemplating breaking into the Carl Zeiss craze, just to see how they perform. As long as the used market stays strong, I can experiment and re-sell the lenses.

Steve-

You got a nice price on that. I'm very interested in how this lens performs for you. I looked at that lens for my film camera, but ended up getting a 24 prime instead.

I'll be sure to post some shots.

I believe that's a rule here now: Buy a lens, post pictures!

If it isn't, it should be!
