Yeah, but selling lenses I don't really use does make sense
Originally posted by BigAndRed got 100's of cameras, lenses and bits in collection going back to 1912 1/4 plate camera.
I do still have stuff like a Kodak Brownie junior, a Bazooka Joe 35mm, and some other mementoes from the past.
Originally posted by Just1MoreDave It would be a wild exaggeration to say I will become more efficient, but here's my plan, still in progress... With some work/ambition I could get rid of maybe 15-20 lenses.
Good plan. It WILL require some motivation, though. Right now selling lenses in the marketplace isn't that easy. For instance, the lens I thought would sell the fastest is the only one, out of four, that I listed (FA50 macro).
Originally posted by Biro Up to now, I have generally only added to my lens collection
At first I did that, but after a time I decided never to keep duplicate purpose lenses, and to buy only to either have some fun then make a profit, or improve my kit. I'd love to be able to afford building a collection (if I was a millionaire, I'd definitely collect Pentax lenses) but for the time being, I won't do that, I'll keep my money for other goals.
Originally posted by Biro use mostly primes with my Pentax kit while reserving most zoom work for my micro four thirds kit. There'd be some exceptions of course. Already, I use micro four thirds almost exclusively when I'm travelling.
Interesting how several people now work with two systems. For me, If I want to travel light, the DA21/F50/DFA100 make an amazing and small combo. But most of the time I'll travel with my Sigma and FA100-300, plus the DA21/F50. Now that I have the DFA100 that could change, but the Sigma will probably still be with me most of the time. Except when the weather is at risk, in which case the DA18-55 WR will be my go-to lens.
