Re: All hail the beater

I like to buy used too but with a different strategy... If I buy something used and like it, then I'll flip it (normally for the same price) then buy a new version. I look at it like a cheap rental! I did that with the 18mm f2 recently. I've never used that prime before but am getting closer and closer with my street photography recently so was finding the 23mm f2 too long. I had such fun with the 18mm focal length that I'm going to stick with it to see if it's a long term thing.

So far though, it's a great lens. On my X-T5, it's super fast at focusing and on the street, it's basically silent.
