If you buy cheap, you'll buy twice. (I suppose you could be right. If you don't replace the cheap POS, you didn't need it in the first place.)

Seems to me you can even, on occasion, take pictures with a lens you know you shouldn't ever have bought. So it isn't a total waste. Try taking a picture with a lens you wish you had! -- Floyd L.

So : it isn't a total waste. Nor was it in my case. One occasion I used it to very good advantage was on a windy day at the beach in Ocean City last summer, when I brought out my spare camera rather than subject my better one to the elements. : Try taking a picture with a lens you wish you had! Touch�! But my point was that you can always go buy the lens; it's not as easy to un-buy it. ;^) Bob |
