Very cool! It's a first person shooter perspective.

Woah... the 50L and 85L, as well as two versions of the Noctilux??

Call me jealous.

No, that's a proper whale, mate!

Dude ... that's a nice lineup. I'm hoping to get an 85 soon, so my gear will be very similar to yours ... honestly I'm not sure I'd ever invest in the L versions!

While it is true that the cost of the 85L II is pretty much the same as all five of those mediocre lenses together but personally I think it is worth it and you really do notice the difference. When it comes to lenses I choose quality over quantity

I wouldn't necessarily call any one of those lenses mediocre. They may not be L lenses but they can hold their own when it comes to image quality.

While I absolutely agree that it is a wise move to purchase the best lenses you can afford, it's also certainly not a bad idea to buy within your means as well. Case in point, I'd rather have a 35 / 85 combo over just an 85L and no other lens.

I do agree you don't need to have a million lenses (I keep trying to get myself down to just three, but it's difficult) but again, don't write off the gold ring lenses, they continue to surprise me

lol, yup, nearly $20k (Canadian) in 4 lenses and nearly 30k if you count the M9 and the 5D3 that goes with them
