Name your best, worst, regrets & want lenses u own.

Apr 7, 2012

I was cleaning and rearranging my lenses. Some I haven't used in a long time, some I use infrequently, some I should be using more, some I wish I never bought and some I'm glad I did. Anyway, I'm going to list them in categories. It's my list so I don't want anyone to feel slighted and make you feel you'd like to punch me in the nose. Make up your own categories if you'd like. Third party get named Nikkors will just show focal length.

Best: 70-200 VRII

Worst: Tamron 180 macro Filter ring no lock, my R1 CLS spins like a top

Surprisingly Good: 18-105

Regret Not Buying: 200 f/4 Macro

Regret Buying: 60 f/2.8 Impulse buy

Best Deal: 300 f/4 AFS Bought from a pro on CL for $750 3 1/2 yrs. ago

Next lens: 200-400 f/4 VR

Weirdest: 10.5

Dumbest: Sigma 50-500 Non VR Tripod foot is almost a foot

Wish: Clone of Canon 24-105 IS Still have it

Most beautiful: 300 f/2.8 VRII

Well folks, now that I got this off my mind I'm going to play. With the lenses of course.
