My all time favorite is the !00 mm F2.8 APO. About a year ago I bought the 80-200 F2.8 APO and using a tripod that I use about 90% of time it spent two weeks in the Antartica climbing in and out of rubber boats and I did not complain.It was worth it. Some six months ago I purchased the 35-70 F4 and love it despite compaints on this board. I seldom use the 50mm or the 35mm. I have the 28mm PC and use it when a wide angle is wanted. I love it by the way. I have owned the 280mm F2.8 APO and that lens is too heavy for alot of use. I owned the 350mm R and found it very little use. I still own a 500mm Cat lens and I don't know why. I own a 24mm, 21mm, and a 19mm and let my son have them along with a 70-210. Another Favorite lens when I can use it is the 15mm. That is a fun lens. I own a nikon 90s and that is my point and shoot with an auto focus. I had a F4 but traded it for the 90s. Clifton
