Haha - I do think it happens to many of us. I want to make time to sort out my collection and see what's a keep, what's a display item, and what is to be sold or donated.

Lens-buying days have to be put behind now... unless there is a chance to acquire soething truly unique.

I know exactly what you're saying. At times I'll look over my lens collection and wonder, geez, when was the last time I used that one! I have a few I know I'll never use again, and I keep hoping for a family member interested in photography needing some starter lenses. Or sell or donate maybe.

It involves a yellow orb in the sky... allowing for the wearing of short pants.

Thank you, Aaron! There might be more to come, it is a subject that I'm enjoying nowadays... without snow, the winter here has been uninspiring to shoot.

Glad you're dusting off that Mamiya!
