I bought this lens used for $900, and it's some of the best money I've ever spent on photography equipment.
This lens has so many uses. Not only is it tremendous for low-light sports action (as you would expect), but it's a fantastic portrait lens with gorgeous bokeh. Even though it's not a macro lens, you can get some excellent macro shots with it with the advantage of not having to be super close to the flower, etc. and disturb any insects.
It's lightning quick to focus as well in a variety of situations, including low light.
The LH-76 hood has an ingenious retracting design that makes the lens easy (ish) to store in your camera bag. Be sure to take care of the hood though...the previous owner of my lens warned me that the hood had been slightly damaged so the retracting mechanism didn't work. I bought a new hood...for $52! Some sellers online were charging even more than that.
OK you sold me. I'll give you 953.00

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
