Because I'm poor and can't afford to buy any new fancy lenses, I bought an old Nikkor 50mm 1.4 non-AI lens. I haven't been able to test it out yet because I'm still waiting on my adapter from Amazon. I'm amazed at how heavy this thing is. It's built like a brick. If I end up liking it, I may pick up a few more. I've been eyeing the 28mm 2.8 AI-s.

Are you a museum curator or just an eccentric private collector with a pile of money to burn (or is this stuff not as expensive as I'm assuming it is?)

This lens is fantastic. It's surprised me how many times pro photographers have come up to me and told me I won't know what I have until I'm obligated to start blowing money on fancy lenses. Tonnes of potential.

The tooth and meteorite piece wasn't that expensive (I don't know how much you're assuming that it cost). I don't know how eccentric I am, I just think that stuff like this is cool.

Have you ever read the Archives/Instruction Manual that came with Homeworld? It is back in the days when PC games came with spiral-bound manuals. I'm a sucker for that poo poo, plus the Remastered one is (ironically enough) remastering their manual... which I'm very curious about. That thing was already dense with a poo poo ton of backstory and lore.

It's my kryptonite.
