Originally posted by biz-engineer I don't know how this happened, but suddenly I woke up from what looked like a Pentax dream, and asked myself: how did it happen? how can I now have 9 Pentax lenses, when I bought the K1 I swore I would only have 3 lenses?
So now I have 9 lenses but there is no way I can use them all, it's just too much to carry around. But at the same time if I sell some lenses to lighten up my kit, I'll feel like I'll not be able to cover all my use cases.
If I sell my DFA15-450, I won't have anything to cover wildlife/safari/distant landscape situations, so I have to keep it.
If I sell my DFA70-200 2.8, I don't have something equivalent for nice people portrait shots and indoor sports, so I have to keep it.
etc... You hooked me Pentax marketing, it's annoying to think about it.
I have a few observations
-only 9 and you are complaining? You’re just getting started, (I’ve not counted recently, but I am at about 60
)
-It’s too much to carry around? Who says you need to take it all with you. Normally for example you do not take indoor sports at the same time as wildlife. Pick your kit to cover what you plan to do.
-Pentax Marketing? Sorry but I’m sure no one here has ever used those two words together
-If and when Pentax comes up with a compatible 2x converter, maybe, just maybe, you could dump the 150-450. I have a sigma 70-200/2.8 EX with the 1.4x and 2x teleconverters. This gives more flexibility than the 150-450, but when my 20 year old sigma ever dies, I will likely replace it with the 150-450
