Complete?
No limiteds, no f/1.2 glass, no macro, and way too many zooms covering similar ranges.
You still have a long way to go

The fastest I had was f/1.4 and it didn't do it for me. I am likely going to sell my Tamron 17-50 later on, but not right now and my Sigma 70-300 along with the older F zooms that get no use. I haven't really done much in macro stuff, though I may use what I have with extension tubes, and as for limiteds, from my experience with primes so far I don't think I could justify the cost/benefit ratio for myself with my type of shooting.

It's a good thing no one knows where I am now because I would say that they would come after me with pitchforks and torches because I don't see the appeal of the limiteds...

I goofed around with various spreadsheets I've kept over the last 15 years. I quit coutning somewhere around 200.

Recently I changed my approach entirely. Since I got the K-3 I really haven't used film cameras or manual focus lenses much (about a year now) so I executed the dream plan (+1).

FA31/1.8 | FA43/1.9 | FA50/2.8 Macro | FA77/1.8 | DA55~300 (candidate for replacement come spring)
DA40/2.8 Limited (perma-mounted on the K-01)

Aside from a long lens or a FF zoom and the 1.4x TC I think I'm fully covered and it all fits in one shoulder bag.

My next lens might just be a Coronado solar telescope.

I wonder if there is a Q-mount converter for that?

[VoiceOfReason]

I wonder if there is a converter that fits the Q-mount for that?

Yep. And I already have one for my 5.1 and 8 inch reflectors.

What did you get Matt?

I got a DA 70.

[Hattifnatt]

I got a DA 70.

Congratulations... and waiting for photos of course. I thought about DA70 also, but I guess I wanna save for FA 77

Well you've got a point insofar that term Limited is overused. Practically all the primes are Limited or *. Similarly there is only medium & large coffee and no small condoms too...

[osv]

I think I have every current Pentax mount lens I need. I don't know what to say, other than LBA went away.

if you could bottle up a cure for lba, and sell it, you'd be a rich man!

I considered doing that also but came across a great deal on a EX+ used one and decided to just go for it. If I feel like that is a mistake later I could always sell it and get the 77 instead. My last few Flickr photos were from the inaugural outing last night. I like it.

The pristine condition of this lens really made me realize my 15 and 40 are getting pretty beat up looking!

[SpecialK]

You look set.

I pretty much have the Pentax strain under control, but I have to battle with the new Canon virus now, as well...just need a short tele/macro....

[c.a.m]

I think I have every current Pentax mount lens I need.

That's what I was thinking until I happened to encounter recently a Pentax ME with a M 50/1.4 at a flea market. Very quickly, I was $20 poorer but one lens richer. Sigh!

I sold a combo exactly like that on here, and ME with an M 50 f/1.4.

[drypenn]

I think I also have every lens that I actually *need*... but want? I want dozens more and a lot of them aren't even Pentax...

Why am I laughing at this reply?

I'm still drooling for some Zeiss....

[Driline]

Wow. This thread got me thinking......The last lens I purchased was the venerable FA 31 about 4 months ago. So far it has not left my K-5. Could my LBA have come to a full stop??? We'll see........Check out my Sig for my current roster of lenses. (About $3,500 my cost). The shot was taken with the F35-70. A $39 lens EVERYONE should own

[jimr-pdx]

This explains the slow pace on the Marketplace (for me at least): an abundance of satisfaction! That's ok, black friday weekend will force discontent to arise where none now exists... like it does every year.

[Omestes]

No Pentax lens collection is complete without the F 35-70!

Very odd, but strangely true. That thing has to be the ugliest, and worst feeling lens ever, but man it can take a good picture. For the price you can find it, it probably is the best lens around dollar for dollar.

I think my LBA (at least on the Pentax side of things) is almost complete, once I spring for the FA77 1.8. After that I think I've got everything I need covered. Or at least the expensive LBA, since there is some cheap old M42 stuff I've been thinking about... And rounding out my other two systems (the M mount Voigtlander 40... oh man.) And collecting FA limiteds... And...
