Some wonderful bargains are available, and also some very expensive lenses as well. GEAR LIST

In my opinion in overall it beats the Nifty (which, despite it being cheap, has a great IQ). I am actually considering selling the Nifty, esp. if I end up upgrading to the body with a brighter viewfinder. Ex-Canon shooter. Now Sony Nex.
