I tell myself I'm not sinking any more money into this system. And I'm not that big on telephotos but this is a really, really good price. Would you be interested in any trades?
Haha I tell myself the same thing often...Im sorry sir but I am fairly certain you have the same sickness I do. I wish you all the best with that and can only offer one piece of advice...dont stress over it because its just not worth the sweat. If your going to do it then give in and have fun otherwise just go for a run instead and forget all about it haha.
The kit is priced to sell and performs great I just dont need the reach for the type of work I am focused on right now. It is fairly small and you get a lot of long range bang for your buck and size. By itself it is very bright at F2.8 and draws beautifully. It would do great for long range portraits or landscape and wildlife. The oof areas are exceptionally smooth at 180. With the APO 2x adapter I shoot it at f5.6 or 8 and its a razor blade giving you 360mm and still some smooth oof bits. I think the only potential trade I would look at is a 75mm APO M with some cash on the deal from my end. Looking for a newer make of that lens to do some close up studio portrait work. I also have a 60-67mm adapter ring and several really nice filters from Breakthrough I can sell as well if interested.
Thanks for the inquiry , headed to bed...check on you in the morning
