This will yield about 10 tons of honey and about 1 ton of beeswax per annum when up to full strength and should provide a good living wage for 2 people.

I am not exactly when the outage will start. OK, we have: Michael Belanger with 2M (million) mm "ultra" Zoom with digital image stabilization. Just kidding, but that WOULD be a nice (if not huge!) lens to have! (Seriously, I don't want to buy the Keck observatory). Dune Finkleberry with 220 mm Chris S with 200 mm. Bill Walker with 90 mm. The Knighty NI with 80 mm macro. uli with 24 mm. Miep with 16 mm fish eye. Since the camera was purchased with 2 zoom lenses covering 18 to 200 mm, nothing in that range (other than the macro) is of much interest. A macro lens (with bellows) is indeed on my wish list, the top of the list is a 14mm super wide angle lens (note that for DX a 14 mm is not a quite a fish eye lens). So Miep wins.

Being an amateur I knew that it was most likely John either wanted something that would take pics at long range or very close up. Must admit that I didn't consider wide angle Lol when that is the other thing a photographer almost always wants and I would love to have myself. Getting tired of stitching pics together such as this one. It took hours of work to get this almost perfectly matched due to the color saturation's from left to right due to the sun shining in the windows on the right.
