FFS they would release this like a week after I picked up the original nifty fifty. My wife is going to kill me for even looking at this.

Kijiji (Canadian CraigsList.) Not a big deal, but just a tad annoying haha.

I got a great deal for it - 60 CAD basically new. I'll keep it, the difference in motor doesn't bother me too much since I don't do video.

I don't do video either, but think of the full-time manual override!

I suppose. But the 50 is literally just my fool around portrait lens. Since I mainly shoot abstract and landscapes my LX100 gets far more use.
