Re: how many $$$ have legacy lenses saved for you? and aren't they fun?

In reply to mgibbs, 5 months ago

I do not think that buying legacy lenses saves money. I think it is waist of money. Except of Sigma 2.8/90 MACRO, I do not use the rest of my collection (8 more lenses)

By my estimates, I've lost approx. $600 on legacy lenses and adapters
