nope. can't do it.
that leaves no room for the 180L, any ts-e, ze100mp, ef85/1.8,ef100/2, sigma 85/1.4, helios 85/1.5 , weird nikkors, more 85's, more 50's, doubles/back ups......wait, do boxes count?





Gpop, you seem to understand......20 lens allowance could be also limiting.

I'd need some supplemental bodies too: 1DIV, 1DX
Then I'd have everything I could possibly want. But wait, what would I lust after? What would I do with the rest of my life, take pictures




Jeff, happy to see you joining a few of us who have long transcended mere picture taking, and who find photographic fulfillment in gear collecting.

I know, right?

I didn't even consider the fishy ones.

for the next challenge in lens lists, I'd like to see:
pack your bag, as many as you like, no price cap. but you must carry your entire list at all times. all or nothing. the lug list.

If I could have only 20 lenses, I'd have a lot more shelf space.

Yes, yes......Canadians appear to possess certain proclivity towards gear collecting.......here we have Jim who probably needs to use the Library of Congress type storage shelves as well as their cataloguing system in order to allow his lens retrieval. Then there is Burningheart, NikkorAS, Molson, etc...

It was hard enough to do a list(2) for a Canon FF body, thankfully Canon doesn't have a u4/3 body or I would have had to do a third list just for it and that would be even tougher.

Sorry, Robert......I do understand that cutting back to paltry 20 lenses would in your case mean extreme hardship and deprivation.

BTW, have you forgotten to list your 500 f/4.5 L ?.

Then again maybe you are doing me a favour by having to think what I truly need.

No didn't forget had to go with what I use most frequently. I even had to drop my 15 FE AND 50-200L.

A bummer that is.
How about your 150-600L ?
Now, that is a rare Canon lens if there was ever one.

It's not tha rare I see it all the time.

I consider it an alt as it is an FD mount and gets more use on my u4/3 cameras than my Canon 5D. My best ebay buy ever. Got it from a camera store that had Canon CLA the lens prior to listing it.

Surely that is not as rare as the 1200/5.6.
