How often do you use your 105mm f/2.8 lens?

I just realized that my 105mm is not getting used much these days. Not as much as it use to. What lenses do you have that don't get much use?

Mine is my most used lens (since I love macro)....As I have over 100 different manual & auto focus lenses, there are many that get limited use...Perhaps I should sell some of them.

I have three lenses. The 18-200 VR, the 80-400 VR and the 105 VR. I use them all. The one thing I have that I never use is a 2x convertor.

Interesting. I had four macro lenses when I bought the 105 2.8VR version. I soon after sold my Sig 105, and Sig 150 2.8. I now have the 105, 200f4 and the 60 f2.8, the latter gets very little use now, but I'm not thinking of selling it. Also, my 70-300vr isn't getting out of the bag much, I am using my 300f4 much more than I thought I would. I have a 50 1.8 that hasn't been on a camera since I picked the 50 1.4, again not on my sell it list.
I believe I over answered your question..........:dry:

Why so serious?
