>>2969669I've bought a $25 Chinese manual lens recently, so I guess yea, I bought one. But it's an *effect lens* and will be used relatively sparingly.
Not extremely interested to get many more, overall. I strongly want "modern" lenses for their glass coatings that make their t-stoppage better and make them flare-resistant etc., complex glass elements that give corner-to-corner sharpness at wide aperture, and all that modern stuff. AF / IS is also necessary on some, but not all lenses.
> Fewer glass elements would mean better color-pop, if that really is a thing.No, it doesn't mean that.
And I don't care for the "color pop" nomenclature nonsense - it's basically just blur, various forms of CA and contrast issues. No need to rename it to feel good about yourself.
