Step 1: find a decent, overlooked lens model from 30 years ago Step 2: take some pictures with the lens Step 3: if it's a good lens, buy all available Step 4: post report on social media Step 5: put all but one or two on eBay & watch the price balloon Step 6: split profit with Frank for giving me the idea ;) Would be funny if this actually worked!
