It's a simple question, and even more about reading people's thoughts regarding
the lenses they would keep vs. part with.
I have 2 zooms.
#1 SMC Pentax-A 70-210/4. Quite nice, but awfully bulky.
#2 Sears "202" 75-300/4.5 "A"-type, reasonably sharp, not so heavy, & longer
Now at this time I'm keeping both. But if you were to part with one,
which would you get rid of? The Sears isn't worth much, so it's worth more
to keep. The A, on the other hand, is worth a bundle. But the bargain
that I got it for makes it difficult to replace.
Right now I'm thinking more about keeping both. The only time I'll need the
300 distance is if/when I go to a Cub game this summer.
I'm also having a similar quandry in LF, but we won't go into that now.
My general goal is to get rid of stuff. I'm 55 and it's time to thin down the
toys. I'm trying to keep a few for the joy of living, but not those that are
not in use. (Why keep it if I'm not using it? If it has value, sell it and
get its value.) If anyone here will be in Dayton in May, that's what my son
and I will be doing. Cleaning out the basement. ("Dayton in May" is a common
euphemism for Hamvention.)
Sincerely,
Collin Brendemuehl
