    I just joined -
    I shoot an RP - I have a 14-35mm f/4 L, a 100-400 f/5.6-8, and my two primes are a 35mm f/1.8 and an 85mm f/2
    My interests are varied but I've not been a 'regular' and I'm certainly not a professional.
    I like macro, and have a MT-24EX Twinlite.
    I like wildlife and some landscape too.
    I was a Federal employee until recently and took an early retirement (a little earlier than I planned) so I am dusting off the equipment and am trying to get out more.
