Yeah, as per title - looking for your opinions what would you do. I accumulated quite a collection of lenses thanks to my serious LBA and trying to take some control over my spending on photography gear back. So I decided something has to go - but I have a hard time to decide -therefore please help me what would you do?
The battle is between :
S-M-C Takumars ( M42 )
28mm f3.5 35mm f3.5 50mm f1.4, 135mm f3.5
VS
SMC Pentax (K mount )
24mm f2.8mm 28mm f2.8 50mm f1.7 135mm f3.5 AND
SMC-A 50mm f1.4 which bought recently
One thing to note is that I am also having a full set of M42 -> PK adapters so each of my M42 lenses can be equipped in one.
Now, from the above IF I was going to get rid of SMC K mount lenses I would
NOT sell 24mm f2.8 - this is an awesome lens that I mostly use with my K-01 and would never sell it !
Also I would probably keep S-M-C Takumar 35mm f3.5 - despite having also Flektogon 35mm f2.4 I simple love that small light tiny prime. I sometime take it in my pocket just in case I need a prime when I am out with my mostly used zoom Tamron 28-75mm
My idea so far was to keep S-M-C Takumars 28 and 35 and 135mm and keep also 24mm SMC-K mount prime. And then I would go for Super Takumar 50mm 8 element - since this is what I really want now ( don't get me wrong SMC-A 50mm 1.4 IS a lovely lens - but I just love the build of takumars and from what I saw looks like guys who advised me on that were right to go for it from the start :P ).
So my handy setup of small primes would look : 24mm f2.8 K mount, S-M-C 28mm f3.5, S-M-C 35mm f3.5m, Super Takumar 50mm f1.4 (8 element ) and S-M-C f135mm f3.5.
That would mean the following would go : SMC-M 28mm, SMC-M 50 f1.7, SMC-M 135mm, SMC-A 50mm 1.4
Ok - please let me know what you would do and why - I am totally torn between those sweet primes and really need some reasoning to decide
