Zooms are great but personally I prefer small and fast lenses.

>>3075088
The money you spend on a lens is the same money some people pay for a handbag or a computer. Those things don't make people money either but they bring them enjoyment. Believe me, I'm a cheap bastard so I don't like buying expensive stuff. It's your money so just use it however it makes you happy. Spend it on drugs, travel, or a lens. It's all the same.

>>3075145
>drugs, travel, or a lens. It's all the same.
Yea, I snorted a 70-200 f2.8L the other day. Far out, man

>>3075169
I'll just say I enjoy manhandling my lenses, looking at the pretty glass elements, and seeing the images I made with them. It's worth it just for that.

Only costs 350 with that sweet employee discount

>>3074930
Feels good man, I've had mine a couple of months and it's just lovely.

>>3075201
Damn that's cheap, what do you do for Sony?

My dad works on the Sony Pictures lot from time to time (he's a movie/TV Art Director) and has checked out the employee store for me, but the deals weren't that insane, maybe 30% off at best.

They are worth their cost in my opinion.

That Batis 85 is nearly optical perfect, and has OSS as well. It's pretty much goddamn from center all the way to corner.

Zeiss = Master Race.

>>3075145
>spend it on drugs, travel or a lens.

New prices for the 55 at launch were less than 2nd hand prices now, these are not comparable, the 55 is practically free if you look after it and sell it later.

The travel and drugs is instant sunk cost.

The only people that bitch about expensive lenses are those that can't afford the outlay, oh and fuji users because their mount is dead so lens resale value will be non existent.

>>3075242
Will the bride-to-be not buy the photos if they're not bokehlicious enough? You sad fuckin autists.

>>3075277
Why so mad? There is no problem.
If you want inferior optics, you buy inferior optics. If you want superior optics, you buy Zeiss.

>>3075277
most people base their standard on their expectations.

If you're happy with clients that are happy with whatever, enjoy your tiny paycheck, if you're clients want the best, and you provide it, enjoy your new mercedes.

That feel when Batis 135mm is literally optical perfection.

But even Sonyfags can't appreciate it, and shit all over it due to the F2,8 aperture and the price ;_;

>>3075455

Looks chromabby.

>>3075201
Actually? What is the discount, 70% off?

>>3075474
It isn't. The Batis 85 and Batis 135 are designed to be good in that discipline.
And 135 even more so.

>>3075476

I don't believe you. Post a raw.

>>3075455
whats with the abrupt bokeh? looks shooped. noew, if the lens created that shit, it may as well be the worst lens ever made.

>>3075474
lol, the batis range are just about the least chromabby lenses ever made.

>>3075504
It does look shoopd somehow. Shit pic anyway, not pleasant to look at, though that's not the lens' fault.

>>3075266
>fuji users because their mount is dead so lens resale value will be non existent

That's funny

>>3075532
If it's not dead, why are no 3rd party lens makers interested?

You're a common laborer, Sugar... there's no shame in it, either.

Stop being delusional.

>>3075634

oh man you sure did troll us with your blue collar job for middle school drop outs.

>>3075647

who's smarter, the guy who spent 75k on a 4-year degree to possibly land a job that pays 75k a year or the guy who paid 150 bucks for a bus ticket to a trucking company that paid him to get his license so he could make 75k a year.

#rekt

>>3075650

Comparing yourself to one specific person in one specific circumstance... yeah, you can play that game all day.

>75K

More like $8000 on a 1 year college course for that, Sug. And he gets to go home every day to his wife who also has an income.

Point is, you don't make a lot of money... you are a truck driver. Please just accept this fact.

>>3075650

I would say the guy with a college degree and an easily manageable debt who gets to live in a nice home with his family and enjoy the privileges of a 75k salary is smarter than the hillbilly who has has to sacrifice his life and his freedom, subsist on a diet of diner food and methamphetamines, sleep in a truck and fuck the local STD patient zero just to get to pretend that he makes 75k a year.

>>3074935
Around 50mm is the only prime you should buy.

(Ultra-)wide: Zoom.
Telephoto: Zoom.
Something to fill the gap: prime.

OK, if you're a big boy you can also buy a 500 f/4

>>3075650
>75k starting vs 75k with no career prospects whatsoever.

Oh..so hard...lemme think....

I'm probably doing whatever the fuck I want tomorrow, just like today... and every weekday after 3pm.

FFS, we've been over this many times already, peabrain. Fuji x cameras are niche products for enthusiasts with only a tiny fraction of the market share. It is not "open" standard like E or m43 mounts so af and is would have to be backwards engineered. Thus it is not economically viable to make lenses for the mount, unless it can be done easily (like samyang 12mm etc), especially when the brand already has a pretty much perfect lineup of lenses that their users want.
>but they made a lens for e mount waah
Yes they make cine lenses for other mounts. They also make lip gloss and a whole bunch of other stuff. The camera line is basically just a pet project for the company.
