Hi Richard,
I was in the same boat as you- I was looking for an inexpensive 'user' R
lens for my Canon DSLR. For such use the version of the lens doesn't matter,
so 1 or 2 cam is fine. What I ended up doing was looking at EBay auctions
for Leicaflex cameras with lenses- typically 50mm Summicron. My logic was
that other people looking for lenses might not watch camera auctions. After
seeing some 50mm Summicron auctions go for around $300, I ended up with a
Leicaflex SL + 50mm Summicron for less than that. After years of thinking
there was no way to get into Leica for under a grand or so, I find a nice
side entrance. ;-)
BTW- I love that baseball shot. I am wondering which direction the ball is
going. ;-) I am guessing that the bat is just about to meet the ball.
Cheers
Steve
