The weight of these older lenses is such that I hesitate to take more than
a wide/telephoto walkaround zoom and a telephoto zoom. When you consider that
these older lenses can be bought for around $20 and comparable newer lenses are
close to $1,000, you just think of the effort of carrying them around to be a
health benefit. Beats paying for membership in one of those exercise "meet
market" gyms.
