This gentleman is a member of a french forum on which I post regularly...
There is a full collection of 28 star lenses :
All M*
A*
FA* - including the very rare FA*200 f4 macro
DA*

Standing up on the left appears to be an F*300/4.5 (one that I do have).

It's good to see that exceptionalism (or is that "contrarianism"?) is alive and well in France (does he drive a Citroën, too?).

As he said the owl is the lens keeper; he doesn't sleep during night

The owl make picture composition stronger, or at least it funny

Alors ça, c'est top * ... What a great collection ... J

[Fl_Gulfer]

We have a few people on the forum that have bigger collections, but they want to keep them so they don't bragg about it.....lol

[southlander]

Well, I can say I also own the entire M* collection (all of one lens)

The guy on the left, red coat, white beard, shy of publicity, is this Santa's Grotto?

This guy does not have a problem.
The problem has been solved.

What type of Pentax lens on the right side of the picture, second from the top below the guy with the black shirt?

You mean the enormous white one? That would be the A* 400/2.8.

[ofer4]

Pentax should sell this collection as a kit.

[normhead]

I'm crying.... I'll come back and post when I feel a little better.

The sad thing is, when Pentax Canada go to a trade show, they don't have a fraction of that.

I notice it's shot with a K20D and a 31 ltd... so there's at least one excellent lens that isn't in the picture, unless he has two of them.

I confirm a 400 f2.8
I wonder what could be the estimated price of the collection. 100 000 $ at least; nevertheless he was really successfull of completing a collections of all these lenses which on the second hand market can be seen only once every many years...

[bassek]

I'm really happy for this guy. I hope Pentax makes him a FF soon!
