I use the 40mm pancake Limited a lot, and at no time have I ever thought "gosh, I wish this were just a little longer".
Related: when I go poking around lenses for sale at eBay or equivalent, it seems like around 50% are 50mm's of some flavor or another. So I'm also a little puzzled at this one. On the other hand, that 560mm sounds like pure fun. Assuming it costs less than a small car. -T On Wed, Feb 8, 2012 at 9:16 AM, Bipin Gupta <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Walt, that DA 50/1.8 looks good if it is going to be loads > cheaper than the good old FA's.
