29 (many of them in my signature), 28 of them in K mount and a 58mm M42 Helios, and I´ve started with this just one year and a few months ago.
The last one, a Zenitar 16mm fisheye I will receive next week.
This roughly averages a "new" lens every two weeks. But I don´t just collect them, I enjoy using all of them.
LBA doesn´t sleep, it´s always there.
The only limit is my wallet, or better said, my wife.

I wonder why use Zenitar 16/2.8 on a APS-C? Used it on film cameras, It was great

Well, I have a gap in that FL and I 've seen many very nice pics with that lens on APS-C, where it's not so fishy. For the full fisheye experience I already have the Samyang 8mm.

Time for an update: 12 lens

Pentax 67:

Takumars 55mm f4, 105mm f2.4 y 200mm f4.

Pentax ME Super, MZ-7 :

Sigma MC 24mm f2.8 Super-Wide II, Pentax-M 50mm f1.7, Sigma MC 75-200mm f2.8-3.5 Zoom III,

Pentax K50:

Pentax DA 21mm f3.2 Limited, Pentax DA 40mm f2.8 XS, Pentax DA* 50-135mm f2.8, Pentax-M* 300mm f4, Tokina AT-X 28-70mm f2.8, Pentax-F 35-70mm f3.5-4.5

No use often, I could sell:
Tokina AT-X 28-70mm f2.8
Sigma MC 75-200mm f2.8-3.5 Zoom III

towa - a nice little collection, which ones do you use the most then. I have a Tokina ATX Pro 20-35mm f2.8 and its great. I wondered how its longer brother the 28-70 performs on the long end. If it's good you could use it instead of the F35-70 or maybe that's why you've decided to sell the Tokina.

I have almost the right amount of lenses I need to possess.

BlakeShellman - if your signature is 8 lenses then you're lucky to have such a small amount of LBA

Until this summer 19 lenses (all K mount): 11AF+8MF or 12primes+7zooms or 12Pentax+7 third-party. Everything was ok, no LBA, only serenity and equilibrium.

During a summer trip to Italy were stolen 5 of my lenses. So after the Italy theft I stayed a while with 14 lenses. I did not want to replace the lenses stolen by italian thieves with the same lenses, so I bought another different lenses.


Consequently, now I have 28 lenses: 10AF K mount+12MF K mount+1 T2 mount+5 M42 mount or 22primes+6zooms or 12 Pentax+16 third-party.
+ my first CZJ lens is currently on it's way to me.

edri - see how easy it is to get LBA, especially after having some of your gear stolen.

[Rondec]

I currently own 11 lenses, although I will probably sell one that I bought with a camera and don't use.

This is my line up: DA *16-50, DA * 50-135, DA *55, DA *200, DA 15, DA 40, FA 31, FA 77, DFA 100 macro, and the DA 55-300.

The lens I'll sell is a Promaster 28-200 zoom that I bought with a film camera.

I really don't have LBA at present, just happy with the lenses that I have.

[Antares]

The lenses i have and use on my K5 are:

1. 35mm f2.8 Limited
2. 50mm f1.8
3. 55mm f1.7 M lens
4. 16-45 f4
5. 50-200 (the weakest of them all i guess)
6. 80-200 Hoya M

@Rondec: nice line-up

[dadipentak]

@Rondec: nice line-up

Also, too, nice output.

[Michi Joel]

Tnx richardwong, Tokina is very heavy!! is a good lens, f 35-70 is lighter, have macro and 49mm filter

I'm thinking to do some changes on 10-45 focal range, 21mm and 40mm are very good lenses but not enough focal range ........
DA* 16-50mm it's so expensive!
Add a 15mm Limited is expensive an one more lens
....

[redrockcoulee]

We have a total of 14 lenses for out Pentax digital and 35mm cameras plus 3 or 4 for the Auto110. This includes on lens, a FA 20-35 I bought this weekend from a forum member. There are 4 in my wife's bag; Sigma 10-20, DA 16-45, Tamron 90 Macro and F70-210. In my bag are the DA15, DA 35 2.4,F 50 1.7, 70DA and a Sigma 70-200 2.8 with a 2XTC. There is right now a M28 2.8 which the 20-35 will replace. The other three lenses are a 28-80 and 75-300 that came with a MZ7 and a F 17-28 FE and these three are going to be up for sale I think fairly soon. If I could get a M 50mm really really cheap I would get that to pair with the 28mm and the MZ5n to be a quais-manual camera. The only other lens on the horizon for the Pentax systems is a 50mm zone plate to put on a body cap. I had bought one last year but am having it installed on a 120 Holga.

If one has zooms I needs less lenses to cover the focal ranges and with both of us shooting if the DA 15 is too wide or too tight the Sigma fits on my brand new K5iis as easily as it fits onto her K5

Forgot to add that if Pentax comes out with FF I might think about a DA21 if they are very cheap

Plus I think many of us are planning on adding a FA 77 soon in less than 10000 posts

Zenitar and Samyang fisheye lenses

NaCl(am pretty much over LBA because I've got everything I need)H2O

NaClH2O - You've got a wide selection of lenses. That's good and even though the m42 lenses aren't used, they're hard to part with as well I'm sure

---------- Post added 12-08-14 at 05:58 PM ----------

2...

...many

mikeSF- based on your portfolio I don't think you've got too many, especially the 645 shots!

---------- Post added 12-08-14 at 06:02 PM ----------

I have 24 total: 9 lenses for 645-mount and 15 for K-mount. I know that's a lot less than some folks here but it still looks like an absurd number.

Buffy - 24 isn't that many, that's what I tell myself anyways. I guess it depends on which camera you use the most the 645?

---------- Post added 12-08-14 at 06:06 PM ----------

Way more than I need, because I started to inventory them. All good!

Jacquot - like most people here I'm guessing we all have a private inventory either on spreadsheet or in our heads and hence the LBA either being out of control or guilt?

Rondec - Having the zoom lenses I'm sure helps keeps the lens number down and with the primes you've got it all covered so I can see that you're happy with your lack of LBA.

towa - yes Tokina isn't light but it's also not as heavy as Sigmas but the price is very reasonable compared to Pentax for that zoom range.

redrockcoulee - I hear ya about the full frame, if it does come to fruition the LBA will probably go through the roof for a lot of us.

[kristaps]

As I'm only starting out, I have just 3 lens:
- DA-L 18-55mm WR
- DA-L 50-200mm WR
- F 28mm f2.8
The 28mm prime is a really nice lens to have on an APS-C camera, it's very compact, and two stops faster than 18-55 at 28mm, I keep it on very often. The only thing I'd need is a good hood for it, as it did not come with any.

Yes, get a hood for it asap or we'll have to call the authorities!
