I recently added a new lens to my collection, bringing the total to two. It's a Nikkor 80-200mm f2.8D. This has since been replaced by Nikon (Currently the the 70-200mm VRII) which sells for 3 times the price.
I was at the local vintage car show and wanted to try out the telephoto zoom. I am seriously impressed. It'll take me a while to get used to it. For the last two years I've mostly been using a wide zoom (17-35) on my Nikon D700 and only occasionally a telephoto on my old Olympus E500.
I had intended to sell the Olympus, to help finance the NIkon but now my daughter Róisín has decided she wants to give it a try (again).
I got a few shots at the show and met John Walsh, another member of the Boyle Camera Club http://boylecameraclub123.blogspot.com/. With him being a Nikon user as well, I wanted to borrow his strobe for a project that should culminate in an exhibition in the Dock in Carrick on Shannon in September. More on this later.
