I decided to refresh some lenses i have, more precisely my Minolta 70-210 f4, 100-200 f4.5 and 24mm f2.8
So by selling these i will keep my CZ 16-80 and my Sony 50mm f1.4.
After researching, i'm getting 2 or 3 lenses during this year.
The contenders are:
- Minolta 50 f2.8 Macro
- Sony 50 f2.8 Macro
- Minolta 100 f2.8 Macro
- Minolta 135 f2.8
- Minolta 28-70 f2.8
- Tokina 100 f2.8 Macro
- Tokina 80-200 f2.8
- Tokina 28-70 f2.6-2.8
So... why i want to change lenses.
First, i want some quick lenses. I though i would give much better use to my primes ... wrong.
So i want a good macro, a good Tele and a good standard zoom. This last one is not a priority since i have the CZ 16-80.
There's always the budget problem. I find that the Tokina's offer a great price but i never had a Tokina so i'm kind of ... not very certain about them. ( btw, what do you think of the Tokina 80-200 f2.8 Pro ? )
I'm also tempted on not to buy all those lenses for now and go for a new one. My first 70-200 f4 ( i got a second one ) was used and ... it came with some problems... Since i'm thinking on the 800€ budget for lenses, i don't want to spend it all on used without some kind of warranty.
Conclusion, i would like your advises and opinions about this. Are the lenses that i wrote good lenses. Is it worth to go to Tokina instead of Minolta ( price/quality )? Should i just get 1 new lens, that would be new and with warranty instead of getting the other lenses.
Thank you all in advance, for the time and attention to my thread
