[Leslie]

Tony what lens are you using? Just looked at some of your shots and hope you are feeling better.

[tony gig]

@annbo Thank you very much Ann and for the Fav, I am a lot better but still not 100%, they said it will take a little time, can not get out much because I am not allowed to drive and I am not very good walking, but I will plod on.

[tony gig]

@lesip Thank you very much Leslie, its a AF-S Micro NIKKOR 40mm. I used for this shot Leslie, I also use a 18-55mm and a 55-200mm, these are the only three lenses I own but I think they do the job. I also have a little point and shoot I take every where with me and that's a Panasonic DMC-TZ10 and a brilliant little camera.
