How many lenses do you have?

g026r · 02-04-2014, 01:55 PM - **1 Like**

I think I have 25 lenses. But I'm not 100% sure. I may be miscounting my 50mm or 135mm lenses, which are my two most common focal lengths.

A couple of weeks ago I posted this: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/10-pentax-slr-lens-discussion/248318-buyi...ng-lenses.html

It put me at 27 lenses bought and sold since October 2012.

Since that post I've added 3 more lenses!

LBA! LBA!

I like that. I want to do that.

At least my lenses take up less room than my husband's cars...

I'm at 32 right now but most of those have Minolta mounts and I'm trying to sell 11 of them...

I've only got 6 with one up for sale. Guess I'm the oddball on the forum.

I was up to 15 at one point but now I have 11 - 8 Penttax, 3 Minolta. Only one (DA 18-55) is not FF compatible (well it is on part of the range, I guess...).
Not one of them is expensive or well regarded... but they still get me good results, considering my low level of experience

I have 7 lenses. 4 are Excellent. The other 3 will most likely be sold off. I am going to add at least one more lens before I call it quits. Ok Maybe just one more after that but I promise that's it

With me it's like the bible: 5 loaves and 2 fish. Err, I mean zooms and primes.

I'm actually trying to downsize, because less could be more. Right now I have both the 16-50 and 17-70. Eventually one will probably go, and the 16-50 is a more recent addition, but I just can't part with the 17-70 yet.

I think RioRico still has everyone beat. Where the heck is that guy anyway?

He posted in his guestbook in October that he can no longer see well enough to use a camera. It also makes using a computer difficult so he won't be posting anymore

What a shame. And no options to improve it?

For the computer, there are special whole screen magnifiers.

Hi folks - Thanks for thinking of me. No, I'm not doing great, but please, no messages of sympathy. I'm just wearing out. I can't really see well enough to pursue photography anymore, and computer work is hard too. I just can't be active here anymore. It's been fun. Bye.
