Re: Your lens collection--How many, etc.?


OMG what a subject

1st - I regret every lens i have ever sold. So many good lenses that I let go for one thought process or another or trying to upgrade and justify cost. Now today I have too many and still not enough

Too few lenses? - Yes of course I have constant gas

Too many lenses? - Yes way too many and cameras too
A7r4

A7Cii

CV10, CV 21 3.5, Sigma 24-70 2.8 art, CV 55 1.2, FE 14 1.8, FE 20 1.8, FE 35 1.4, FE 85 1.8, FE 20-70 4, FE 70-200 2.8 ii, FE 200-600, FE 1.4x and 2.0x

Some specific lenses you would like to acquire? - I need the 300 2.8 / Or really look to downsize and combine

How often do you buy or sell lenses? - 4-5x per year

Are there lenses that you rarely use but haven't sold or disposed of? - CV10, CV 21 3.5, Sigma 24-70 2.78 art, FE 20 1.8 and camera wise the R4

What do you like and not like about your collection? - Too many options but lots of options
I like the manual combo of CVs 10, 21, 55 ..... but I dont get out enough for that
I like the 14, 35, 70-200 package because it is a solid
I am considering selling the CV10, FE 20, FE 14, Sigma 24-70, 85 1.8, and either getting the 16mm or 16-35 and sell the 35 1.4 too

What qualities are most important to you in a lens? 1. Sharp, 2. Speed 3. Coverage 4. Size 5. Uniqueness i.e. starburst

UGH so much to think about .... HELP

Oh and.... 8x10 Deardorf with 5 lenses, Wista 4x5 3 lenses, Mamiya RZ69 5 lenses
