The lens that got away
13

Consider this thread a safe space to share your greatest seller's remorse. What's the lens you most regret selling, or losing?

I've been having *nightmares* about selling my Minolta MD 50mm f1.4 - the first lens I ever used with the Fuji system. It was magnificent. A year (and a Fuji 56mm f1.2) later, it wasn't getting used so I let it go. It sold on ebay for a fair bit less than I paid for it, which only adds insult to injury.

Looking back through some old images, I'm hit by an inescapable truth: I am an idiot.

Do share your horror stories so I can feel better about myself!
