[Lowell Goudge]

My useage varries quite a bit.

If I am on vacation (with no wild life opportunities) I would say
1) sigma 10-20 60%
2) tarmon 28-75 30%
3) ProOptic 8mm fisheye 5%
4) Vivitar 85/1.4 4%

there is no 5th lens because this is all I take.

If there is wildlife opportunities involved then the list changes
1) sigma 70-200/2.8 30%
2) SMC 300/4 + 1.7x AF TC 25%
3) tarmon 28-75 20%
4) sigma 10-20 20%
5) ProOptic 8mm fisheye 5%

Overall, Including other general shooting

1) sigma 70-200/2.8 30%
2) sigma 10-20 20%
3) tarmon 28-75 20%
4) SMC 300/4 + 1.7x AF TC 15%

with the remaining 15% of my shots spread out over my collection of roughly 15 M42 primes and 15 Kmount MF primes, which I take randomly just to shoot a specific focal lengt for something to do,.

mine would be probably;

da*50-135
da 35ltd
fa 43ltd
da 12-24
k50 1.2

[RonHendriks1966]

Well that is always a nice question and a good one to look into from time to time.

I did a survey some months ago: ExposurePlot (former Focalplot)


Only thing that changed is the coming of DA*60-250 wich is very usefull to me:

1. FA*85mm/f1.4
2. DA*55mm/f1.4
3. DA*60-250mm/f4
4. DA 21mm/f3.2 Ltd.
5. DA 40mm/f2.8 Ltd.

Leaving out DA 14mm/f2.8 and DA*50-135mm/f2.8, but I used these two lenses recently for two events. So everything is getting used at the time.

[Wormtographer]

1- Pentax-F 1.7X TC AF
2- Pentax DFA 100mm f/2.8 WR
3- Kiron 105mm f/2.8
4- Pentax-FA 50mm f/2.8
5- Vivitar 135mm close focus f/2.8
