Re: What? Huh?

Lol its a good lens. Just don't expect the same quality as a vintage metal lens or modern high en plastic.

Now I'm even more confused.

Those new little Fuji F2 primes are as tough as nails.  They are built like tanks.

I dropped my 23 F2 from chest high on a dirt trail with rocks and it rolled 3 meters down the hill.

I tested it and it was good....  Sent it back to Fuji anyway and told them about the drop and asked them to check it out.... It was fine.

I have abused the 35 F2 more than any lens I have ever owned.  The thing is indestructible.

The 50 F2 feels like you could beat it with a hammer and it would still shoot.

What am I missing here?
