Actually a good collection.
You may call it rag-tag, but I'm sure they do a good job.
Be careful, OCD tendencies may land you in trouble with LBA and filling those nagging gaps in the focal range!

How 'bout ye all stop counting your lenses and go enjoy whatever gear you own?

I have 8 lenses. I use 3. You don't use all of yours either.

I on the other hand, do use every lens in my collection. I use my 18-55 kit lens and my tamron 70-300.

Trust me I'd use all of mine a lot more, but 4 of them are M42 screwmount lenses, and I just don't have enough space in my bag for them, as well as my regular K-mounts.

Blue · 08-30-2008, 03:51 PM

I use quite a few of my lenses as well. Some of them I have for use with a specific body though. Like the 50mm M f1.4 for the k2 and the Tamron 90mm 52BB for the SuperProgram.

If your lens collection does the job and meets your needs, you should not be bothered, just get out there and enjoy.

both lenses do what they are supposed to do, take pictures, but they dont offer me the wow factor that my sigma 10-20, 28 and the FA43 do.

the Tokina 80-200 F2.8 is okay, but prone to CA in bright daylight, even with a lenshood on the contrast leaves much to be desired, granted i got it for 200 bucks, but i'm trying to get rid of it right now.
