Challenge

paulr

Ok we all have got lenses we no longer seem to use,The challenge is easy, dig out a lens you have not used in 12 months and use that lens all day and only that lens,
Remember when you bought it, you could not manage without it, so prove to yourself, it was not a bad decision , you never know you might remember why you bought it in the first place.
Mine was a Nikon 60mm 2.8 macro D lens .

Blimey, I do use that one nearly every day @paulr!

The lens I use the least would be the 105mm macro. It's partly my fault for not using it more, I've always wanted to take it during the spring or summer to a garden to get some flower or insect shots, but I haven't had time because we don't get vacations from school anymore. I have been using it at home in my garden, but the variety isn't the same. It's late summer now and there aren't any flowers left. I love the lens and the results it gives me, but I definitely use it the least.

The 18-13mm and the 35mm 1.8 I definitely use the most, and I only occasionally use the 50mm 1.2. I just can't get used to manual focusing, although that bokeh is so creamy. I feel less guilty about not using the 50mm 1.2, as my dad bought that one with the FM2.

Good challenge. That will be my 35 f1.8...I use all my others regularly except the 18-55, but that is just my throw around light weight camera package now. Might still try it out for a day though.

What is going to hold my paper down if I use my 28-200 for a day?

Here's another lens I hardly use Spraynpray, Sigma 4.5 2.8 Circular Fisheye But it can be fun when I use it,

I like that lens, it would be fun for some nightscapes and close-up shots.

I have way too many of these, but will grab the stuff from the 1960's, shoot some with those. Incidentally, I recently shot a bunch with my AF NIKKOR 28-85MM 1:3.5-4.5 from the late 1990's, a very nice lens, if a bit slow.

No challenge for me. None of my lens sit around that long and not be used. I think the longest they sit around is 30~45 days.
