I feel that I just about gave my 150mm 3.5 away---since having acquired the newer 150mm D series. But as pointed out before, by selling here, you avoid potentially costly Ebay listing/selling fees---and the lens does get to stay in the GetDPI family.John Black just posted a the lens which Guy mentions above (150 f3/5) for $250. That's cheaper than most, but offers an idea.
Correction: it's still available and maybe the lowest price I've seen this lens go for (can't really recall).
Ketch,Not sure I understand your point on the Bokeh
Surely there will be differences as they are with the 1.6 cropped sensors vs. the FF 35mm sensors, and so there will be differences cause of the much larger MF sensor, but what about the AA filter absence, and how those this effect the bokeh? Positively I imagine.
Shooting Portraiture and High Fashion when outdoors Bokeh is a very important aspect of my photography work, especially as I like to shoot WO.
I really wish you'd SHUT UP, Jack! I've been hearing about that darn 150 2.8 from you for some time now, and tonight I finally broke down and ordered one.The 75-150 zoom is excellent, and select copies of the older 55-110 and 105-210 can be very good. 55AF is generally excellent, but 45 AF's don't usually cut it on full-frame -- however, may be just fine with your crop P30+. Ditto 35. 80 D is excellent, 150 2.8 D is perhaps the best lens I have ever owned period -- it is stunningly excellent. Older 150/3.5 is also very good, and excellent once stopped down a few. 120 Macro is excellent, 210 ULD is excellent, and 300 is stellar.
Bill you fell into Jack's web. I had thought you were safe from it all by using that 75-150mm zoom but curiosity got the better of you.I really wish you'd SHUT UP, Jack! I've been hearing about that darn 150 2.8 from you for some time now, and tonight I finally broke down and ordered one.
Can I send you the bill? (Like I don't know the answer to that!)
I'll report on it when it arrives and if its really really really good maybe I'll forgive you.
Bill
