As I mentioned at the end of a recent blog entry, I decided to trade the 100mm macro lens and my RP body for a "like new" 70-200mm f/4L lens. This now gives me excellent lens quality from 14mm to 200mm with three constant aperture f/4 zoom lenses. 

I finished up my February 15 mile challenge today with a walk along the Champlain Canalway Trail, in the towns of Stillwater and Saratoga, including the northeast corner of the Saratoga Battlefield. I completed 19 miles over 6 outings to the Canalway trails, Vischer Ferry Nature Preserve and Peebles Island.

It's not unusual with zoom lenses to almost exclusively use the two ends of the zoom range. Today, it was 70mm for scenics and 200mm for isolated subjects.

Here are some of the results:
