camera lens

[O2HeN2]

I do like that canon 400, but it’s a bit more then I want to spend, but it’s tempting

I grit my teeth and when I wanted to upgrade camera bodies a couple of times, kept the money and bought glass instead when I had saved enough.

Then, once I had the glass, I upgraded bodies. It's nice just being able to bypass buying kits and focusing only on bodies. (there's a setup for 'ya)

Story from my previous generation of [film] Canons:

I had an FTb and a couple of OK after market lenses (poor college student at the time).
A local store advertised a SMOKING deal on the Canon A1 body - had to be below cost so I headed in to buy one.
Got the box in my hand and started toward the front to checkout and the guy says "You need a lens for that!" I replied, nope, I already have the lenses.
He tried to say that I NEEDED to buy a lens for that price and I showed him the ad, which said NOTHING about lenses, just the price for the body.

And that's how I added an A1 to my stable in the late 1970s.
