Well you certainly operate at opposite ends of the lens spectrum. 10-22 and 500mm. :D

Just so, Don. Those are my two most-used lenses. I use all five regularly (100-400, 18-55 and 60mm macro as well) but my most-used lens is the 500 for birds (with or without 1.4TC, and most of the time with a 12mm tube to bring the MFD down a bit), followed by the 10-22 for landsapes.

Which one could I not live without? The 500. (Well, I can get by with the 100-400, but if I could only have one lens it would have to be a big telephoto.) But the lens I love using the most is the 10-22. I keep waiting for the novelty to wear off, but I've had it three months now and enjoy it more than ever.

I know what you mean. Since moving to DSLR true wide angle is the lens I miss the most. My wants list just keeps growing. :rolleyes:

I use my 70-200 mainly for wedding candids. A hugely versatile lens for those of us pursuing the PJ style of shooting.

Is it obvious?

All pays for itself though.

Appologies, I was stunned by your list and did not realise you are new here but I did recognise the name.

So welcome to the forum. :)

As there is nothing here re the D200 it would be interesting to hear your comments.

Hi Tannin!

Here are a few uses I found for my 70-200 F2.8 this past week. (click for larger version) This is the first real outing I've had with this lens and I was rather happy with the results.

Anyone know what animal this is?
