Don’t tell me that, I don’t have a lot of resistance to your blandishments and each day I’m weakening a little more!
Damn it it’s not that expensive either relatively speaking!

That's quite an accomplishment. I see that you have got the 35 and 85 which should be fine lenses as well.

Just to add to your GAS.

I borrowed a friend's Leica APO-Summicron M 50mm ASPH (B+H US$8795), a formidable lens and briefly tested against the 50mm f1.8S. I was surprised that there is little to tell them apart - and the Nikon is just as Apochromatic and as sharp. And in Australia, they are  giving away the 50mm as a free bonus if you purchase a Z7 in March! To have this level of sharpness, resolution, apochromatic, high micro and macro contrast, strong flare resistance (a problem with the Leica) flat field, lowish distortion as well as fairly rapid autofocus and low vignetting....

Mike,

Rose says everyone with a Z should have a 50mm f/1.8 S  ;D

And with those looks I did, as WEX have it in stock again also sporting a £60 discount. Knickers there’s one wheeling soon to my front door! Again the dreaded GAS strikes again!
I blame Rose’s eyes she’s  the absolute epitome of the Devil in disguise(not) she’s gorgeous of course!  :-*

A freak accident, and good job of reporting it from you, with the images you posted. Scary stuff.

She seems to be fully aware of her charms and is most happy to take the credit!  :)

And her sister Lily is equally effective....
