TJ is fat as fuck for 6 ' 7 . <| sep |> I ' ve been waiting for Black Friday sales to buy my first optic for my first AR build . Is this a good deal ? And what would be a good mount to pair it with ? I want something that sits low to keep the profile somewhat compact . <| sep |> You date camera bodies , but you marry lenses . A good lens will last you many , many years whereas a digital camera body has a much shorter life . I ' d much rather have a great lens on an average body over an average lens on a fancy body . 100 % of the time . edit TBH , the reason entry level CaNikon bodies have pretty meh IQ is that a large majority of people who buy these cameras stick with the cheapest 1855 kit lens which is soft and slow . Put a good prime lens doesn ' t even really have to be anywhere close to twice the price for a good 1 . 8 prime and you ' ll find a massive difference .
