@TheCracker - I've had my f/1.8 for a few years and have never had any problems. Unless you're constantly changing lenses or if your hard on your stuff, I think you'll be fine.
Show off your latest purchase!

The mkIII version of Canon's 50mm f/1.8 is out now and it has a metal mount and is still priced around £100. Could be just what you're after?

Yes, that. I just picked up the 3rd gen Nifty Fifty lens with the metal mount a few weeks ago and though it doesn't have the solid construction feel of a L lens, it's still seemed solid enough.
Works pretty well; I would say it's pretty good for it's price.

In my opinion, no.
If you skip a model you'll notice an actual upgrade (though still not very signifficant in 90% of the cases), whereas with just the next model is basically the same thing with very slight changes and a waste of money.
If you can get/afford a good deal for an S6, it's a decent upgrade (though still, nothing major). Otherwise, as far as Samsung, leave it alone and keep your S4 for longer if it's still working as it should. That's what I'd do.
Only phone I'd consider (if I had the money) trading My Galaxy SII right now would be for an LG G4. The camera and its software on that thing are beasts, and that would seal the deal for me. As for all else, I wouldn't take advantage of it over my current phone.

Pre-ordered some games from Gamestop over the weekend.
1. Forza 6 day 1 edition (I wanted the ultimate but like having the disc)
2. Rock Band 4 all in one bundle
3. Fallout 4 (I wont pick this up at launch)
4. COD Black Ops 3 (first COD game I have bought since WAW) Comes with a beta key so if I don't like it, I get my money back on the pre-order.

I looked at the specs of the G4 and it certainly interested me, but I think 5.5" screen is just too big for me. And I'd love to have a removable back cover for the battery and SD card, which is why nothing is really standing out for the newer phones.
The only real differences between the s4 and s5,as far as I'm concerned, is the slightly better screen and camera. Which probably wouldn't be very noticeable to me. I've had my S4 for a bit over two years now and it was forcibly updated to Lollipop and I kind of hate it...

I had a little free time so I went up to the Sprint store to 'play' with the G4. I thought a 5.5 inch phone would be too big but I didn't really have an problems,and it still fit in my pocket nicely. They're having a special promotion for a free extra battery and SD card (since they are removable) so I'm going to start uh...researching things. For reasons.
The problem I have with lollipop is the colors. I much, much prefer black menus instead of white and gray and the dumb added effects on the home screen that I can't turn off. Just a battery waster that add nothing to the phone.

Since my previous 500mm had scourer pad polished lenses making it worthless :
A Kenlock m42 500mm. It's supposed to be in great shape, but it was only 15,- and by the looks of it it is the same lens as my old one, so I can rebuild them with the best parts of both,if its needed.
And, almost forgot, to complete my collection:
250 of these:
100 of these:
8 of these:
And a sorting box for the collection.
