    way to go!! fantastic work! and I love that 105 lens – but are you sure you didn’t buy 2 lens with that prize money? Or did you win 2 prizes? I seem to remember you saying that you’d bought a 55-300 lens (lol!)!!

  • Clare Colins:

    You have a good memory don’t you :)
    I received a small inheritance recently too and bought the new camera and a new lens. which one when?….not sure. I think the 105 2.8 was the most recent. Now I have 5 lens, 3 of them prime. That’s plenty!
