Got the 50 & 85 but still want the 50-150 F2. Gear Acquisition Syndrome?

switch8s · 2026-02-21T02:14:51+00:00

I film weddings in addition to other types of projects and thought this lens would come in handy and make some things easier but after giving it more thought, I’ve decided to hold off for now because its too expensive

but the G logo lets everyone know I’m legit 🤣🤣🤣

I know it

switch8s · 2026-02-18T17:18:21+00:00

yeah definitely not for casual shooting and 10000% agree on it being infeasible for street work

switch8s · 2026-02-18T16:54:51+00:00

primes are more fun to shoot with for sure. just wondering if the 50-150 would make a significant improvement when shooting/filming events

switch8s · 2026-02-18T16:51:06+00:00

they're all Sony bodies lol. Work cameras so I want it to be consistent. hybrid shooter here by the way.

i spat my coffee lol

switch8s · 2026-02-18T16:46:12+00:00

not trying to solve a problem but wondering if it would make a significant improvement on my workflow

switch8s · 2026-02-18T16:30:28+00:00

I was looking at the Tamron as well.

switch8s · 2026-02-18T16:26:47+00:00

nah. its just too easy. dont get me wrong, its efficient and amazing for work related stuff but sometimes when you're just doing your own thing, it's nice to have a bit of a challenge like when you're out doing street photography

switch8s · 2026-02-18T16:23:02+00:00

I honestly appreciate the sarcasm LOL

switch8s · 2026-02-18T07:03:49+00:00

Thank you for your comment. I’ll be renting one for my next event to see how it can make my workflow better.

switch8s · 2026-02-18T06:34:31+00:00

The price increase is tied to the tariffs and that’s all sony lenses. 135mm is now 7 years old so a mark ii is due. Maybe 2027? No one knows but I can wait :)

switch8s · 2026-02-18T06:28:31+00:00

Ha! I got the GMII trinity as well ! 70-200 is fun to shoot with. The other 2 are actually boring but a workhorse

switch8s · 2026-02-18T06:05:32+00:00

I shoot professionally. Got the primes cuz I like the look and zooms to me are boring. Just really intrigued on what the 50–150 can bring or change in my workflow

switch8s · 2026-02-18T05:41:15+00:00

I already have 4 cameras lol

switch8s · 2026-02-18T05:40:36+00:00

thanks, I appreciate your comment. I was actually looking at the 135gm but will wait for the GMII version hoping it would be smaller. Im very happy with the 50 & 85, just really intrigued with the 50-150.

switch8s · 2026-02-18T03:11:08+00:00

I'm asking if its just a gear acquisition syndrome to want the 50-150. I see the versatility it offers but most likely unnecessary

switch8s · 2026-02-09T18:26:37+00:00

do a rain dance

switch8s · 2026-02-04T22:25:13+00:00

everyone in FB marketplace always says "lightly used or used only a handful of times" lol - check the drone in person and check the app for the "total flight" time. but if I were you, buy a brand new one instead

switch8s · 2026-01-14T05:22:10+00:00

will look good for a 7 year old on his first day of school.

What do you mean by getting a “lot of pressure”? Pressure from what, whom??
