Why limiting yourself to one lens is so good

Hi! This is another article for the long Photowalking series. 

Today I will tell you why limiting yourself to one lens is a very good idea. 

So around a month ago I had something very bad happen to one of my lenses. My 55-200 VR stopped working! It had some problems with a few things in it so it couldn’t auto focus or change its aperture! I sent it to be fixed about two weeks after the accident.
