Lens Lust

wrong brand...

Then change brands

[Analog6]

The Hasselblad HCD 4-5.6/35-90 at a mere $9,995.00 (on special) - but then I'd have to buy an H3 'cos it doesn't fit my H2.

So next down the list is the HC 3.5-4.5/50-110MM at a mere $6,935.00 - and that's its price on special! It will be a long time lusted after, I can tell you.

If nikon announces a 24 1.4G AF-S next week, would that change your mind?

Personally I lust for a 200 f2 VR, or maybe the 58 1.2 noct

Yes, Ive heard that's likely, or close, and yes possibly. Your two lusts are high up on my list too.

Then change brands

oh thats your answer to everything!

I am not a rat, nor am i deserting this sinking ship

[Tricky]

100L macro, MPE-65 and MT-24 twin flash... hoping to buy all three this year...gulp.

Although not on my radar anytime soon, an 85L/1.2 is seriously lust-worthy...

What lens do you lust after the most

I'm not in the market for any more lenses, and I'm certainly happy with the seven I have; but there are some lenses that are firmly in the "this would be nice" category.

In order of focal length:

1. Canon EF 200mm f/2L IS USM
2. Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM
3. Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS USM

The discontinued Canon EF 200mm f/1.8L USM is indeed lust-worthy, but hard to get, very expensive, and no longer serviced by Canon.

Do I need any of these lenses? No.

Do I want them? You bet.

Would love a Nikkor 400mm f/2.8, aahh the lust

[Jules]

Hmmm, either the Canon 135mm f2 L or the 85mm f1.2 L would be very nice. Not going to happen in the near future though.

I've also been wanting a Canon 5d MkII for quite some time.

Nikon 200-400mm f2.8

Nikon 200-400mm f2.8

It's f/4 mark, still, nice lens regardless

Nikon AF-S 200-400mm f4 VR IF-ED
Nikon AF-S 85mm F3.5 G ED VR Micro

[Gregg Bell]

• Nikkor 85mm f/1.4D
• Nikkor 135mm f/2D DC
• Carl Zeiss 100mm Makro-Planar
• Nikkor 14 - 24 f/2.8G ED
• Nikkor 28-70mm F/2.8D

i've gotten all my lens lusts over the years... 24-70, 35L, 50L, 85L and 70-200..

Ive only kept the 24-70, 70-200 and 85.

The only other lens i could lust for would be the 200 f2, but that'll never happen (unless of course i win the lotto)

These days, its more like post production lust... or studio lighting lust....

Strangely mine is a 28 1.4 AF-D

LOL! at the price it commands!.. it's over rated(but there's nothing else in Nikon land like it)

Mine arein order of preference I 'spose)

58/1.2
300mm/2
1200-1700mm/5.6-f/8
6mm/2.8(I may need a satellite dish template one day! )
16mm f/3.5 fisheye(reality check!)
200-400/4(I wouldn't use it much, but a better replacement for the 500mm mirror for sure )
2000mm f/11(because I got this far, and I have all the money in the world!.. so why not?)
PC-E 24mm f/3.5(plus 85mm f/2.8 version)

I suppose I could use an:
14-24mm/2.8, or
70-200VR(I now realise that I need VR ), or
85/1.4
... for 'everyday' type shooting purposes?

It's f/4 mark, still, nice lens regardless

Maybe by the time I can throw together $7k it will be f2.8

This now makes me think why would I go the $7k for this lens when I have the 80-400 as I'm only saving a stop at 400mm. Mind you I will still go the 70-200 f2.8 to cover most of the range.

[Pine]

I really have the hots for a 24-70 L F2.8 lens.
Probably buy it in Feb.
Regards

[oldfart]

I'm holding off upgrading my 70-200mm to f/2.8IS until new model is available

other than that I'm in two minds between Canon and Zeiss 85mm f/1.2

Well, it will blow the socks off re iq, af speed and an extra stop is a lot when it either halves iso or doubles shutter speed

[grw46]

. Is lens lust contagious ? cause I think I caught it here.
Sigma 135-400mm to go with my newly acquired 24-135mm

[Big Pix]

this one for me..... 200-500@2.8..... 400-1000@5.6
