Scored a fang for a friend last weekend. Visiting one of my favorite pawn
shops (more from a social standpoint than anything else... they employ a
Rottweiler and a standard Poodle roaming the store as 'security', and I'm a
bit of a dog lover), and saw a fairly large piece of glass staring up at me
from the display case. It was a C*non 200mm F2.8 lens... and the tag said
'125'. I did my usual scrutinizing, and said I'd offer one hundred even
for it. She agreed.
I picked up a <drom roll, please> C*non 24/1.4 for ~300USD today. I've not
decided what to do with it, but the price was certainly right. I may
revenge some of the big white Zuikos that were converted to other lens
mounts, or just sell it and put the profit into more Zuikos. No clunky
C*non cameras for me. For starters I'll just make an adapter to use it on a
simple shutterless 6x6 camera. It should be even better for northers lights
than my good ol' Zuiko 21/2.0.
Sorry, just had to share this...
