You are the same guy who never even touched a camera but were crying about photozone review and rating. Talk about speaking from experience.

Repeating this again and again does not make it a more attractive read. And allow me to add: posting this phrase once more will most likely earn you a temporary ban here.



Do you have actual experience with all the lenses we're discussing here?



Regarding the list you want: I was the one who suggested macro lenses, and I also suggested to look at the used market. There are several possible candidates, but let me be honest: you can easily google for those yourself. The way you participate in the discussions here I don't feel a strong urge to do this work for you.



If a cheap and slow portrait prime is of such importance for you: fine, there's the Sony world, which offers you just that.



Personally, though, I would not base a decision for a system on just one lens. No system can fulfill all possible wishes and needs in the end.
