Another one has left my collection. It is not a big collection but nevertheless a collection. I had once acquired and let go of a Nikkor 50mm f1/8, a Vivitar 70-210mm f/3.5, and the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8. These are all fast lenses but my expensive 18-200mm f3.5-5.6mm lens finds its raison d'etre over and over again.
I still have the Tokina 80-400mm lens and a Nikkor 500mm f/8. The Tokina is a monster lens that weighs a ton. Will it be the next to let go? Probably not. I still need a super-telephoto lens. The Nikkor 500mm was a give-away and I just like the fact it is a mirror lens. I have not looked around but I cannot imagine anyone make these mirror lenses anymore. So I have one of a very few.

Invasion of What?
What are these bugs? I've never seen them before. I saw them at my parents' place the other day. Lots of them in soil or grassy areas.
