Should I sell all of my cameras in order to pay for this lens? I'm thinking I could look through it and sketch what I see.

The answer is yes, by just using the lens it takes you back to the basics of photography, it allows you to only focus on composition of the shot. Which is the most important things, and the only important thing. *protip* you can use an old window as a uv filter.

The amount of light that would enter the lens would immediately disintegrate your eye, you'll need to keep a camera. Or use a spare fighter jet to mount it on.

Can someone comment on how this is different from a "tilt-shift" lens costing hundreds of dollars more? I want to get into the realm of architectural photography, and have been told a tilt-shift is something good to have, but they also mentioned LensBaby.

Try B&H; Photo Video Pro Audio. 212-465 0171 / 877-849-7260. They were really helpful after I did a lot of research online and narrowed down my needs. Live Chat option too, so have all the techie stuff to hand to save time. I thought I was going to have to buy a new camera but at $300 the lens was just super. Brand new out of the box. I'm an artist and need great shots for uploading and reference.

There are two schools of thought. I would say the most important question answer personally is whether you are intending on selling the lens at some point afterward in almost new condition. If you are then keeping a clear filter will keep it looking new. There is a small optical penalty to the clear filter. Whether you will be able to tell is also a personal choice. I would say a new phtotographer won't notice the difference.

Yeah, unfortunately that was something I checked into early on in my research. Really a bummer, because over the years I used it a lot, I built up a great set of lenses for the old girl. But I can't see myself going back to film any time in the near future. I'm on my 3rd Elph, and I'm hooked on digital!

Absolutely!! It's an amazing lens.. The aperture is great to control the amount of light the lens allows in to get those amazing pictures.

Being that this lens was the lends to have before the 24-70 and used for fashion shows and pretty much everything, I think it'd be a smart buy. I bought one for concerts because of same reason, I can't afford the 24-70. I was very happy with the first concert I shot with it, using a D5100 no less. I recently also got a D7100 and feel it'll only improve things further. I've done a few other shoots with it as well. It's definitely worth having.

Get yourself a new D40 and lens for around $400.00. Sometimes used can be unreliable.

Alternatively you can build a matte box for your camera and adjust per lens.Also this lens rocks, I use it on all my dSLRs for portraits and walking around. You can't afford not to have this lens.

I went ahead and bought it through Adorama. I'm *extremely* happy with the camera, but if it drops to $1200, I'm going to cry.

I think you'd be much better off using the fastest lens you can get and kicking up the ISO. The lens will probably pay for itself.

Yes, i have so much fun to use all my old lenses (K mount) but first you need to get the right adapter for about $30. You better do some research on pentax forum. They have many tests on different lenses.
