why did I get them
the wife said I could - but she also said I had to haul them
I found most " experienced " or on sale
got hooked on limiteds
like the idea of fast lenses
wanted to have the ability to cover wide angel, macro, " normal " and telephoto
why do I keep them
I find uses for them and my wife says I can
I like to try to shoot wildlife and dabble with macro
one I grabbed to give me some reach when I try one of my SLR bodies the Vivitar Series One 70-210mm
