I put up my 80-400mm for sell a few weeks ago. I kinda forgot about it. Some scammers had replied to the ad and today, I just received another enquiry. This last enquiry may be real--I really don't know but it could be another scammer. Anyway, I am really wondering if I should let go of this lens. I have taken some really nice photos with this lens and the only reason why I considered selling it is only because I take it out only one or twice a year. Is it worth keeping it around? I am not so sure anymore. Will I miss the 80-400mm focal length range? Maybe. Do I need the money from selling it? I could use it toward a Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 lens. :) Should I sell it then? I do have an old Nikkor 500mm prime lens. I have taken it out only once over the past four years.
I do have a habit of selling something I think I no longer like to use, only to buy it back later. What a conundrum.

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.

I don't know if I would get a 70-200mm f/2.8 - I think it's way too heavy to be practical (1.4kg). I think it makes much better sense getting a 200mm prime instead - that way you would use either the 50mm or the 200mm prime depending on what you are shooting and crop the image if needed.
ReplyDelete70-200mm f/2.8, imo, is good for sports shots and nothing else... You wouldn't want to carry that much weight to go hiking/bird-sighting...
