See?? As Tina and I said.? Keep the ones you use most often. Nobody can 
tell you what they are, as everyone has different likes and dislikes 
when it comes to the photos they take.? That is what makes a group like 
this so nice.? Diversity.? I hate it at camera club where there are 
three bird photographers and they go out together and they show almost 
the same photos for all three of them.

You know what you like to shoot, and you know what lenses you use to do it.

And I forgot to add, more power to you for? still shooting.? My 
father-in-law is 96 and still shooting and hiking (somewhat) with us.? 
Amazing.? He almost out-hiked me at Yosemite a few weeks ago, but I am 
scheduled for a knee replacement on the 21st, so next time we go out I 
hope to lead the way again.
