Fuji Mint Fuji 90

[Tim Williams]

I'm going to pass this along because if it's still there in the morning I will buy it if I feel like I do now. Mint 90 for 649.00 on FM forums. This is how I get my a** in trouble. I have spent way to much money on the Holidays and I'm thinking it may be a little to long for my kit. But Man do I want to pull the trigger.FS: Fujifilm XF 90mm F2 WR - Mint!

 

[Bobby T]

That's a great price!

 

[Tim Williams]

That was too good to pass up. Got it.

 

[Bobby T]

It's a fantastic lens. Even if you shelve it now while you sort things out and just shoot with one lens. You will be very glad you have it.

 

[Tim Williams]

Yep. I' going to shoot with the 35 for January challenge. I'l get it out and play with it after that.

Thanks Tim you saved me $649.

 

[Tim Williams]

Ok, the 90's on the way. I guess the next logical prime would be the 50. That would be a 16,35,50,90 prime kit. I think that's a bag full.

 

[Bobby T]

That's a great kit. You will be very happy with it.

Enjoy it. For the time I had one, it was very nice. I needed more flexibility so I traded it in for a 50-140. If I could afford to keep it as the occasional sharp knife, I would.

 

[Tim Williams]

I'm a prime shooter. I think I will be good with my kit once I get the 50. Still trying to master flash. Getting better but not there yet.

 

[Tim Williams]

I still have not put my 55-200 on the market. I don't think I will need it as I've only put it on my camera a handful of times, yet that's a FL I don't have covered without it. There will be no 50-140 for some time.

 

[Adam Bonn]

That was a steal of a deal!

 

[Tim Williams]

I had to get into some of the real money as my lens had not sold yet, but yes I had to jump on this. It will be here today, so it's not going straight to the shelf.

When I am in this situation, I think hard on the few shots I would get with a lens I rarely use. Of those shots are there any you couldn't live without. And in this case, are the keepers shots which you could get with a 50-230? If they are, you could sell the 55-200, pick up a used 50-230, and still pocket some money.

 

[Tim Williams]

That was my first thought but now I'm thinking of selling it and getting the 50 f2 to complete my prime kit and if I need anything longer I will break out the 80-200 and the D300. I still get along with it pretty well.

 

[Tim Williams]

Well the 90 just came in and the first thing I noticed beside the fact it is in great shape is it clunks inside. I have looked this up and it seems some what normal. Is it? It bugs me.

 

[Tim Williams]

If it's on the camera and the camera is on it wont rattle. Focus motor or some magical crap going on in there I guess. That's what Rockwell says anyway. It must be true, right! Lol. Still bugs me.

 

[Bobby T]

Yes, it's normal. You learn to ignore it pretty quickly. I don't even think about it unless someone asks about it.

Tim Williams, remember, it is easier to seek forgiveness than it is to gain permission.

 

[Tim Williams]

And the 90 patiently waits. I'm having enough fun with the 35 that I haven't missed it, and after a month with the 35 on my camera I'm going to have an adjustment shooting anything else.
