I will sell my Tokina 11-16/2.8. I've probably gotten 10-15 responders on my listing, but I can't sell it until I'm done working as a festival photographer. I'll keep my 40D and nifty fifty for those product shots I might be doing of stuff I might sell. Selling that lens will finance 40% of my new setup, which includes
- Vöigtlander Bessa R3m
- Vöitglander 50mm/1.1 OR Vöigtlander 40mm/1.4 OR Vöigtlander 35mm/1.4 (though the R3m does not have framelines for 35mm). Leica lenses will also fit this camera, and there are adapters for other manufacturers as well). I'll most likely go for the 50mm, although I like the ~40mm perspective on my current rangefinders.
Vöigtlander lenses are fairly inexpensive, and I've read good things about them. My main argument for choosing This Bessa over an older Leica (M3, for example), is the 1:1 viewfinder. I think that will be absolutely wonderful to use. R3m due to its viewfinder and mechanical shutter.
When shall I get this? Probably January 2013, when my student loan comes. Then I'll get $3200 on my account (extra big amount every January and August, to pay for books and memberships and stuff like that. I prioritize differently ).
So, there you have it. That's my current plan, and I can't wait!
Thoughts?
