[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Orphaned gear is one of my favorite things about photography. To re discover a piece of gear. And be glad I didn't sell it off. And realize what a choice thing it is and what it can do for me. This week for me it was the 105 2.5 Nikkor. "why not put the 2.5 on my camera?" I thought. It was at the bottom of the lens drawer way in the back. That fact that when I put a 105 on my camera and its a 105 not a 157.5 is a boom for it. When I shoot with it its really it! That means I really use that stuff more its not in storage. Though not this particular optic so much until now.
