First photo is my gear in total, second photo the APS-C specific lenses for my two KPs and third photo my "FF" specific lenses for my K1iiLtd that btw came into existence because of KP and K1 came as a bonus. IE I realised that I had 8000$ of lenses for FF so I "had" to buy the K1

I don't "show off". I am PROUD after hundreds of hours in the forum and at last my ideal arsenal came into a reality.

If anyone wants to ask "why this and not this" I be happy to reply. I am an OCD-logistics-taxinomy-aestethics nerd and nothing in the collection happened by chance.

I am a happy shooter from 180o-fish eye to 1800mm

PS: shortly after I made this post, I "had to" and purchased the DA* 50-135 and the FA* 28-70 too to accompany my beloved 16-50/2.8 DA* and the Tamron 70-200/2.8. I am a fast F freak and I can't hide it

Well, 110 purchases in 7 months certainly is a pretty bad case of LBA, though probably not unmatched on this forum.
Hope you can enjoy this fine gear now

That's an impressive amount of glass for a short amount of time. The question is, how do you organize them ? Drawers and by focal ?

7months, 110 purchases and 20,000$ later.

Impressive collection. It would be a show piece in a display case or two or three!! Are you going to use them all?

[ChristianRock]

Very nice .I hope you have the time to use all this!

a picture is a thousand words.

The K1ii and a couple of lenses are still on their way but their tags and cases etc are also ready too.

I do. My main job is writing a phD-epic poem and I try and shoot every day. I even shoot on events for free (eg my sons kittengarden)

I like it that you've got the Pentax 400-600 Reflex Zoom lens. I've got this lens and it's a fun one to use.

Good move! I love mine, after around 10 years and on various camera bodies, especially now on the KP.

my OCD kicks in in organizing everything but it's a lovely sight too

I was lucky to find a mint one under 500$, 422 euro to be exact and yes, this lens was haunting me. Great lens

a unique lens that I love to have. My only worry is that I got a notice from eBay that the parcel was damaged during transport and now we only hope the content is ok cause it's in a "brand new condition" with all its gear, filters, hoods, case as new.

Oh Boy I will; they make me go shooting almost every day and it's a lovely escape from being stuck in front of a screen for my work.

Neat organization ! Have fun with your gear

What's the humidity like where you are?

I generally store my lenses out of their packaging so air caan move around them.

It’s Athens, ie Greece ie south Europe and my humidity is usually on air around 40%. Summer lower. Winter up to 55-60. So I am “dry”. Nice note. Thanks for saying.

Wow, sounds like you found a gem! I didn't get the colored filters or the hood with mine, but it's otherwise in pristine condition. Maybe I should go shopping? 🛍️

Looking forward to seeing some shots from you! 📸

Today I expect to receive the "damaged" parcel. Fingers crossed its only the carton. As per sellers description the lens is like brand new in everything. And yes, I wanna try playing with the filters too As soon as I get it "save and alive" I will add a review on its pentaxforum link. I'll let you know. First play "sunset with orange filter" for sure !!! With customs etc I paid a hefty 650$ tag !

I pray eBay Global shipment did not f@ck up a collectors item !!! It even comes with its hood, all the filters and the case and the lens is like brand new!
MAN I am worried!!!
