These are getting cheap enough where I might, might get one and put my 1.8d out to rest.
I’ve beat the ever living crud out of that lens over the years. So it’s hard to let go.
Some of my neighbors daughter and her pony who has cushings and a tumor. They asked fom pictures of the two since they aren't sure how long little Bliss the pony has left. I think with all his ailments and at age 30 he is quite the trooper.
In a moment of weakness I shipped my 85 1.4D off to KEH because I felt it wasn't getting enough use. I regretted it immediately. When they, as expected, undervalued the trade-in amount, I requested they send it right back. When the package came I couldn't wait to get it out of the box and back into my bag where it belonged. I felt like I had betrayed an old friend.
I don't do weddings and portraits anymore but every once in a while a previous client will ask me to come out.
