Anyone else taking advantage of /film/ to be able to get dirt cheap gear?
I've got an AE1 Program which I got with a 50mm 1.4 for 120 euros, a 28mm 2.8 which I got for 50, a 100-300 5.6 which I got for 99 (including its qt3.14 original carrying case) and a 35-70 3.5 which I got for 70 usd.
I once calculated how many rolls I had to shoot to offset the same gear on a DSLR. Don't remember how many it was, but it was at least a couple hundreds of rolls.
