An old guy's urge for convenience...

[Franz_S1]

Hello!

I do not post often here, because I need somebody to translate for me. I know only 5 words of English.

But I talk a lot about cameras and stuff to my son (LucisPictor, guess you know him ) and he told me about this forum.

I had a small collection of M42 cams and lenses as well as several Polaroid cams (always liked the instant picture).
So, it was a really great moment when I got my first digital cam (Olympus C-3030): instant pics and a much better quality than the Polas.
I still like the Olys and my compact digicam is a Olympus SP-350 now.

My first DSLR was a Fuji S1 Pro. First I used a Sigma 24-70 and a Tamron 80-210 with it.
This S1 has been replaced by a Fuji S2 Pro which will be enough for me for good.

But what I don't like anymore is to change the lenses all the time. At an age of 72 I feel an urge for convenience.
I also start to have problem to focus correctly when I use manual focus.
And to be honest, I don't want to shoot on film any more. Digital is much too comfortable for an old boy like me.

Thus, I'm going to sell a lot of my stuff.

I will keep some manual lenses to use them on my S2 every now and then.

But I'm selling all my AF lenses and replace them with a Tamron 18-200 soon.

Just check my signature... perhaps you find something interesting.

Thanks, Dave.
That's a good hint. I will tell my dad.
Because I think he will not be here in the next days...

Carsten, I moved the thread to the Marketplace, because it's there where people who plans to buy lenses will look for them.

Good idea, Orio, thanks.
(I did not think about that, since it was not my dad's first intension to offer the lenses, but rather to explain why he chooses to reduce the number of lenses he owns considerably. )
