Plenty!
Auto-Chinon 50mm f/1.4.
Elicar V-HQ 90mm f/2.5 Macro.
Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 135mm f/3.5.
Super-Takumar 35mm f/3.5.
Samyang 75mm f/1.8.
SMC-M 200mm f/4.
SMC-M 85mm f/2.

Got a Pentacon 30mm f/3.5 currently up for sale. Had a buyer pull out of a Samyang 45mm f/1.8 sale so may keep that for a little while longer.
May even chuck a few more lenses up for sale while I'm on this roll. All the above easily equates to some future guilt-free spending, I think!

There is no such thing as guilty spending, as long as it fits a Pentax

Or if there is an adapter to make it fit. :>)

I seem to have lost my Smith Victor LED studio lights. My wife is on a weaving kick lately and she has discovers that this little light set provides a wonderful illumination for her "studio". I got them last year. A four light two stand set the B&H had as a daily deal. Got the whole set for less than the cost of the four lights alone.

I was sorting out my equipment last month, and was missing a light stand ... found it in the sewing room

While not a horder, it is rare for me to part with a piece of useful camera gear. However...last week I parted company with my Giottos 1301 ballhead. It served me well and while the parting was a little sad, the owner is happy to have it. It went to a good home.

Below is the picture I used for its sale notice. (BTW...sold in about 20 minutes.)

I’ve taken a bath on most of my recent sales. Sold a Super Takumar 135/3.5 for $29 and SMC-M 80-200/4.5 for $36 on Mercari. Sold an AF 540FGZ, AF360FGZ, K5iis and a Neweer macro rail here on Marketplace. Making room for incoming stuff.

Late last year a gave a work colleague the rather battered K20D (close to 80K actuations) and a M 35-70 zoom. He wanted to step up from the camera on his iPad. Bit of a jump into the deep end for him I think but he enjoys a challenge and is not easily discouraged. Like me he does a lot of macro work with forest flora so I sold him the M50 F4 macro this weekend - and we went on a forest walk to acclimate to the new gear. He borrowed a little tripod and ball head - all still a bit of a challenge however. He had reset all the K20 settings so I had to reset 'allow use of aperture ring' so the two lenses could be used stopped down. Hopefully he will now have more success. He did move off green zone onto manual and start using the green button etc.

I managed to sell, for a whopping €10, the 28-80mm power zoom I got with a Z-1 I bought. I had expected to have to just bin it, being a poor-performing, ugly, noisy, early 90s kit lens. I'm glad someone can get some use out of it.

Sold some more things.
Samyang 45mm f/1.8 (a lovely little lens but ultimately replaced by a Sony 35mm prime that I can't seem to put to one side).
Samyang lens station (as I'm offloading all Samyang lenses to consolidate the stash).

Just need to sell the 35mm f/2.8 now... someone did 'buy' it on fleaBay but cancelled it around 6 days later (after the £1 sellers fees expired). Joys.

A temporary de-acquisition. One of my MX's, coupled with a 50mm f/1.7 has gone to my younger brother for him to use on weekends, as he's finding himself at a loose end. Loaded with a Kodak Colour Plus 400 (36 exp) that expired in 2005 (ISO adjusted to accommodate). I'm sure he'll have fun with it.

Trying to get rid of a lot of junk that's accumulated and for one reason or another I haven't sold on or given away (the latter is very difficult right now due to covid)

Today's clearout was 20+ electronic flashes which failed the basic "Does it power up? Is it full of corrosion / broken in some other way?" test and have gone into a bag for electrical recycling, a nice-looking but old 4-megapixel bridge camera which doesn't work and isn't worth trying to fix, and some other odds and ends. This will be going on for a LONG time to come, I currently have 50+ camera bodies and thirty or forty lenses with faults that make them difficult to sell, and a fair amount of other junk. Some big job lots will be happening but the problem is weight - really don't want to lug it all to the post office!
