I don't know what is more impressive the photo of the collections or the lists. But either way, I feel less need to pair things back, and maybe it is fine to add a couple.

You must be a programmer.
I know I messed up the poll, but there is no option for me to change it, so I just went with it. See that option as upto 10. Sorry.

7 for E-mount (14 f/4, 20-40 f/2.8, 28 f/4.5, 35 f/1.4 GM, 50 f/2.5 G, 55 f/1.8, 75 f/2).

Have 6. Bought them on sale or used which makes me feel better. I probably only use 2-3 regularly. 3 others have a niche case and maybe 1 just doesn't get used at all.
Nov 27, 2025 at 10:43 PM
p.4 #13How many lenses do you own?
Lenses that I actually use (or intend to use):
One built into a 1953 Rolleiflex (75/3.5 Tessar)
Two for 'blad mount (50/4.0, 100/3.5)
Three for Canon DSLR mount* (50/1.4, 100/2.0, 70-200/4.0 (original version)).
And gazillions (mostly Cosina primes) for E-mount. They muiltiply like tribbles.
*: Truth in advertising: the adapters I have don't work with the 50/1.4 (at all) and the 100/2.0 (well enough to actually use it). The 70-200 was, the last time I tried it, just fine. But it's a larger lens than I like to carry.

20G, 35GM, 50GM1.2 & 70-200GM2. I've been trying my best to forget about 85mm, I'll likely try and find a lightly used 90G at some stage.

p.4 #18How many lenses do you own?
I had waaay too many at the end of last year since I was fully kit loaded in the Canon and Sony Systems. I sold off all my Canon gear and now am more reasonably stocked in the lens dept:
300 F2.8 GM
50-150 F2 GM
28-70 F2 GM
14 F1.8 GM
24 F1.4 GM
35 F1.4 GM
50 F1.2 GM
85 F1.4 GM II
100 F2.8 STF GM
Sigma 200 F2 DG OS
Sigma 135 F1.4 DG DN
Sigma 105 F1.4 Art
Sigma 45 F2.8
The least used is the 100 F2.8 STF as it’s a specialty lens reserved for super bright days — mostly beach portrait sessions

35+40+50? I have the 35 and the 50 Nokton and I keep thinking about the 40, but somehow I can't bring myself to do it.
