I want one but they've been impossible to get for months.

I also shouldn't be spending $1000 on a a camera I don't plan to make money with

Yeah price point was steep but I got myself a new hobby so it's worth it for me.
On days off I just go out taking (mostly mediocre) shots. Exploring new areas etc

Anybody shoot 135mm for portrait or street? Which model did you use? How did you like it?

Canon 135mm L f/2, love it, razor sharp, amazing color.

Update:

Missed out on one of the sigma art 135’s online. Found one at the local KEH for $690 (The Atlanta location has some really good ones from $690 to $800+ if any local brehs are looking). Traded my refurbished Z 35 1.8s and got it for a little over $200. Will hopefully find some time to hit the streets with it, this week, then practice more portraits.

I’ll probably pick up another z 40mm f/2 and maybe an f mount Zoom, since I sold my beat up 40 some months ago. I’m almost where I want to be, gear wise. Got a 50mm s, an 85mm, 135mm, a good tripod, a good monolight/flash and a remote trigger for it, and an SB-910.

I hope to upgrade my Z6II to a Z8 in the next year, or at least keep the Z6II as a back up or something to hike with.

Got a flood coming photo peeps, just did my cruise with the family to the Bahamas on Royal Carribean, it's a wrap, I'm hooked.

Found a deal on another Synology NAS unit, DS620Slim, 6 bay 2.5" ssd/hdd slim unit, refurbished from Synology, $100 off. Will be here next week


Gonna load it up with SSD's and see the performance difference. Hopefully find some deals on Samsung EVO 870's.
