Sounds like a plan, but I don't own those lenses.

But imagine this. The wee Grace turns 16 and shows a keen photographic
eye.
As such you give her the key to a safety deposit box in some downtown
bank,
to which she opens it to find an an A15 3.5, an F 28 2.8, a shift 28
3.5,
an F 50 1.4, an F 50 2.8 macro, an A 85 1.4, a 135 2.5, and some other
stuff- say a black ME Super, an MZ-s, and an ist D (now that we're at
ist DX
mkII).
A week later you ask if she's taken any pics, to which she tells you
that
she scored a massive deal downtown on the day she withdrew her birthday
equipment. She tells you some sucker offered to pay 2500 for the lot of
'obsolete' equipment, and shows you her 20D and a 70-200 2.8L IS.

So you're now tasked with spoiling the wee Grace with fast food,
outings
to
the fairground, parental subversion and toys. And the definition of
'toys' -isn't- the one we use on the list. ;-)
I dunno, I figure that you really have the obligation to start
building a
'trust fund' of lenses for her. Of course, you'll have to take care
of
them
until she comes of age, but these are the sacrifices you must become
used
to
making as a grandparent, after all :)
