I can still remember walking into Central Camera down on Wabash. Standing at the counter listening to the L rumble past trying to decide if I take the standard 1.8 or splurge for the 1.4. And of course the 1.2 was totally out of the question.

I splurged and never regretted it…and never looked back. Through the years I kept splurging and don’t regret a dime.

Photography is amazing.
