Hi Toralf. Welcome aboard.
I agree that one of the 50mm is an obvious candidate to sell. Also, your two telezooms have overlapping ranges. Seems a bit redundant to keep both of those, unless the 70-210 gives very much better quality than the 100-300 within it's range. Since one is autofocus and the other is not, I guess that counts for something too, depending on your shooting style and preferences. With a name like yours and working for a Kongsberg-based company, I hope it's not jumping to conclusions to assume another Norwegian on the List? :-) Cheers from Oslo, Jostein ----- Original Message ----- From: "Toralf Lund" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, July 23, 2004 1:35 PM Subject: Many lenses; which too keep? > OK.
