I want, I need to be very close to the subject because roots of the
stump, or the ground, is in the way if I'm trying to use a longer lens.
Does anybody else have lenses that they bought for one use, that they
later found are much better for something else entirely?

A 500/4 makes a nice portrait lens.
I've used the 600, with success, as a landscape lens.
