Well, if you are going to go into detail... and include longer ratio 
zooms....

And I've left out the 19-35, 24-40, 50-250, 60-120, 60-300, 80-200, 
150-500 and any other zooms starting at less than 28mm or over 49mm and 
any others of whatever kind that I've forgotten or misplaced.  :-)  

Looks like we are tied if we don't count duplicates and credit your 
cloudy Kiron! A dubious honor, perhaps?

No kidding! Scary! I think I prefer denial. I think it's time to cut 
back a bit. I've marked with an asterisk all those I would be willing to 
part with to other listees who aren't afraid to live in abundance. In 
the case ot the 35-70/3.5-4.5, only one of the 2 is for sale. I know I 
"shouldn't" let the 35-70/3.6 go; it was my primary lens for years. But 
I just don't use it, I use the smaller one or the faster one or the 
longer one, so somebody should.  Many of these lenses have the often 
hard to find matching hoods. All have caps, often matching. Adaptall2s 
available for many types of mounts for the Tamrons. Enquiries off list svp.
