I like to shoot with older manual focus lenses. They are cheap (usually), sharp (98% of the time), and have great build quality. With christmas coming up I'm facing a dilemma, here are my options
Carl Zeiss Sonnar 150mm f4- $150
SMC Takumar 85mm f1.8 - $350
SMC Takumar 10mm f4 macro - $unkown (its a bid, guessing around $150-$200)
Anyway, the most lavish thing is the 85mm f1.8 of course, but that would take away from the rest of my 'self gifts' I really only have a budget of $200 for a new lens, without tapping into my other new things!
Is the 85mm f1.8 worth it? Or should I stick with one of the other two?
