11. I think that the old 35mm f.2 was the second lens I got, and an absolute gem.

Can't speak for the newer ones.

A lot of people are very pleased with the jpegs that cameras kick out, never mind the raw files, and I am generally so impressed with what Nikon does, that I almost always need only the mac Preview app to get a great photo. (similar to seashore)

Seriously, I used to use (the late) John Bradley's xv program to adjust light levels on many a picture. (long ago)

I use GIMP only to do some healing, and since I dabbled in oils when I was young, some airbrushing along with it.

Keeping things as simple as I can.
