Exactly! Sell WHAT?

Lenses check in, but they don't check out!

AquaDome - if you invite some fellow Pentaxians you'll get rid of a lot more of them then

One less than I had last week. I sold three Pentax zooms, but I bought two Nikon primes.
This weekend, I may decorate a few dozen lenses and hide them around the house for Easter practice.

The Hotel California for lenses

[axlrose]

i have 4 lenses and they're far enough to me...

[richardwong]

nomadkng - that's your fault for going to such a nice place for a holiday

THAT'S IT!!!! CALIFORNIA is to BLAME!!! I have a week trip to big sur upcoming and darn it if I haven't purchased 3! lenses in the last 2 weeks in prep for the upcoming trip. And I was doing sooooo good, hadn't purchased anything in almost a year.

In fact, I purchased an FA28 after selling my FA28 last fall. Also got a DA40 because the GF won't part with hers (used to be mine till she used it for one sunset shoot). And I just bought a Tamron 17-50 because of it's famed flare resistance in anticipation of sunset shots.

Eegad, I've run out of room in my camera bag, where will I put my FA100 macro, now? Talk about stress...

Alizarine - 5 there's no LBA for you

I once had 9 lenses at the same time, now I've only 5.... hopefully LBA stays away

[richardwong]

StephenHampshire - you're on the right track with more bags, I have 2 but always hoping that I find a bigger version of my crumpler.

I've got 5 bags now, the last is the same make/style as the previous one, only 20% bigger so I can fit my new Tamron 70-200 in it. Have I got CBBA as well??? Camera Bag Buying Addiction?

Oh, and I just got a Tamron Adaptall 200-f3.5 from e-bay...I only got it for the KA adaptor, honestly!

I know it sounds blasphemous, but when you sell lenses, you have money to buy more lenses.

Well, I found out my Sigma 150-500 on my Q is pretty much impossible to handhold.

[richardwong]

mikeSF - but you don't have the issue because you have what many lense shelves to showcase them all?

Lenses check in, but they don't check out!

axlrose - good for you, don't listen to any of us and don't look at any of the lens reviews or the photos because LBA just suddenly creeps up out of nowhere and bang you'll have a couple more lenses before you know it.

i have 4 lenses and they're far enough to me...

clover - 30 is a good number. You have the 3 amigos, nice. I'm trying to not let into temptation of the FA31. A FA* 300 f2.8? wow nice. A very nice collection.

VoiceOfReason - Okay now I know we all want to try all our lenses on our cameras but did you think it would really work out? Just saying

Well, I found out my Sigma 150-500 on my Q is pretty much impossible to handhold.

[Bondezire]

Once long ago I had more than 30 lenses of Pentax.
I played enough. ))
Now I have some lenses only the most used: 17-28 fisheye, 31, 50/1.2, *28-70, *85, 85 soft, K135/2.5

Nope, but I had to give it a shot! I may try it on a tripod tonight since I should be able to get Mars.

[EarlVonTapia]

I currently have 2 lenses:

Tamron 17-50mm f2.8
Pentax DA 18-250mm f3.5-6.3

And a Pentax Q with a 03 Fisheye.

That's it!

[richardwong]

Bondezire - nice set of lenses it sounds like.

VoiceOfReason - lol. Well hope you're balancing that lens well on that tripod

EarlVonTapia - That's quite the drop down from before, good for you

I currently have 2 lenses:

Tamron 17-50mm f2.8
Pentax DA 18-250mm f3.5-6.3

And a Pentax Q with a 03 Fisheye.

That's it!

[jezza323]

And 2 extras purchased today

Locally a Sigma 105mm Macro, and ebay to arrive sometime in the future, a C mount wide angle for the Q

So that makes 13 lenses + 2 teleconvertors + 1 K>Q adapter, time to think about selling some I think

[sam-joseph]

Ahhh, let's see. Sigma 10-20 f3.5, Sigma 17-70 DC, Sigma 70-200 f2.8 APO, Pentax FA 100mm f2.8 macro, Pentax FA35 f2 (en route as we speak from fellow forum member), Sigma 70-300 APO, Pentax A 50mm f1.7, Super Tak 55mm f1.8 and Pentax M 50mm f2. Planning on selling the 50's and 55, and the Sig 70-300 and replacimg them with a DA 55-300 WR. Or something else.....
