So you’re hunting a lens deal—tell me, how do you weigh “perfect shot” against “price drop” in a single calculation?
Skidka
I start with a quick “feature‑check” – aperture, focal length, sensor coverage, weight – and give each a 1‑10 score. Then I look at the price and the discount, and I do a quick mental math: feature score ÷ price (in thousands) plus the sale percent. If that number is above a cut‑off, I grab it. If it’s lower, I keep scrolling for a better deal. It’s basically a “bang‑for‑buck” check that makes me grin every time the calculator lights up.
Torech
That’s a textbook approach—data drives the purchase, no gut feeling, no second‑guessing. Just remember the price check is only the first line of the ledger. The true test comes when you actually hold the camera, press the button, and see if the story it tells matches your vision. If not, the math won’t save you from a dead‑weight investment.

True, the math is just the first step, but if the numbers look good, it’s still worth grabbing the deal. Then you hold it, test it out, and see if it vibes with your vision. If it doesn’t, you can always pass it on—no point in being stuck with a dead‑weight gear.

If the math looks good but the camera feels like a relic, it’s still a dead weight. Pass it on and move on.
