Olympus 12-200. I liked the lens, I just did not use it enough and I have waaaay to many zooms the way it is.
The beer will cushion the blow.I had to give Canon back their EF 600mm f/4. I now have their RF 135mm f/1.8!

Life mantra right there.The beer will cushion the blow.
I have heard good things about the 65mm, but I think I’d prefer the 50mm. I get along better with 28mm equivalent FOV over a 35mm. Near as I can tell, so long as you’re stopping down at close distances, image quality from both are good, and at long distances what ever aperture floats your boat will work. We shall see!The Mamyia 65mm is a superb lens, better than the 55mm super wide.
Scrap the D80. I don’t think I need to keep an APSC sensor Nikon in the stable. If I’m going to pick up a DSLR, it’ll be my Df. So that said, I’ll also sell my 18-140, and 35mm 1.8 along with the D1X.A quick eBay search shows Nikon D1X selling for 3x more than I paid for mine several years ago. Given the near mint condition of mine, and still having the original box and contents, I may get top dollar for it. I love the camera, but everyone has their price 😂. I may sell it, pick up a D80 as a substitute, and put the rest towards my wide angle RB67 lens I need. 🤔
Ditched the Fuji X100V. Now getting rid of the wide-angle converter, batteries and chargers. Exit Fuji for me.
Considering the historically high prices they’re demanding currently, probably the right time to do it!Ditched the Fuji X100V. Now getting rid of the wide-angle converter, batteries and chargers. Exit Fuji for me.
I have had three of these lenses, all sold. The one with the "same" or very close to it, I kept and like, is the Lumix 42.5 f:1.7Just put up for sale on evilBay my Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 45mm f 1.8 Silver ...
I had the Panasonic Lumix G 42.5mm f 1.7 ASPH Power OIS back when I had Panasonic G9 and GX8. It is a very sharp little lens and the purple fringing is very well controlled (better then Oly) but it does suffer more from LoCA (bokeh fringing especially the green tint), I did love the very good close focus ability and IQ. But again, f 1.7/1.8/2 doesn't do a lot for me in Micro Four Thirds format.I have had three of these lenses, all sold.
