31. It must have been hard parting with those lenses

My favorites tend to vary depending on what I am photographing and where. My 11 year old grandsons are going to inherit a lot of photographic equipment, that is if cameras are still relevant when they grow up. I've been teaching them to use cameras since they were toddlers. I bought some simple used ones on eBay when they were very little and they really got into it. Now they want to make movies!

One of my favorite lenses is the Tokina AF 100mm F/2.8 Macro at-X 100AF PRO D - Nikon, but it isn't much use for wildlife, except for bees and butterflies.
