If Ricoh offered to give you five pieces of camera gear for free if you gave up all your current camera gear, what 5 would it be?
Don't say something like five 645Zs to sell and get the most money, think what would you want to use?

I would say: Pentax K-3 II, HD PENTAX-D FA 150-450mm F4.5-5.6 ED DC AW, SMC Pentax-D FA 100mm F2.8 Macro WR, HD PENTAX-DA 16-85mm F3.5-5.6 ED DC WR, HD Pentax-DA AF Rear Converter 1.4x AW

Let's see what other people want!

Edit:
I've decided if someone from Ricoh actually offered me five pieces of camera gear I would say:
Pentax FF, DFA 24-70, DFA 70-200, DFA 150-450, DFA 100 Macro

Edit 2:
See this thread after posting here:
https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/173-general-photography/307008-if-ricoh-g...mera-gear.html

Edit 3:
I've changed my mind again
I would say K3ii, DA 560, DA* 300, DFA 100 and DA 1.4x TC.

K-3 II, 16-50, 100mm Macro, 60-250, FG160.
But, honestly, I'd ask for the 645Zs to sell

[enoeske]

I'd take the new FF, 15-30mm f/4, 24-70mm f/2.8, 70-200mm f/2.8 and 150-450mm.

[pearsaab]

K3, da16-50, da 60-250, da560, 1.4 hd converter

[LFLee]

I'll play...as I already into 645 system...

645Z, FA645 55mm, FA 67 75mm AL, FA 645 35mm. FA 645 150mm.

these are the lenses I would like to get, if one day I can afford the 645Z.

[virusn3t]

Fa43mm, Da*50-135, Dfa 150-450, 1.4x HD teleconverterl and a Fa* 200mm macro if they have one left on the basement

[drei3]

Pentax 645Z, DA645 25mm, D FA 55mm, D FA 645 90mm, GR II

[pathdoc]

1) K-3
2) FA 31/1.8 Limited (for work I'd actually need the DA35/2.8 Limited Macro, but as we're playing wish fulfilment games I'll pretend I can get away with not having it).
3) A 50/1.2
4) FA 135/2.8
5) If we're playing wish fulfilment I'll need a film camera, so for that I'll have an MX as-new out of the box.

That would give me a good spread of wide-angle, normal and short tele for use on digital and film, and fully compatible with both bodies.

K3, da 12-24, da* 50-135, fa 31, da* 300

I've trimmed down my gear quite a bit so I'm really ready for this offer!
Mine's a lot like yours bertwert - K-3ii, 16-85 and 150-450. The 100 would be nice but I'm thinking 35 Limited for macro, then either the 21 or the DA* 55. I'll just have to pony up for any other lenses

[jatrax]

I'd take the new FF, 15-30mm f/4, 24-70mm f/2.8, 70-200mm f/2.8 and 150-450mm.

^^^^^^^^ I think we can close the thread now.

I was considering different macros and decided on the 100 as it is WR and a longer working distance, so better for insects.

Who wouldn't...

I meant existing equipment

[savoche]

Maybe something like
1) 645Z
2) D(F)A 25mm
3) DFA 55mm
4) DFA 90mm
5) FA* 600mm

I could always buy myself a lightweight kit in addition

35 vs 100 Macro can be a difficult call sometimes. I own both, as I found the 100's FOV too narrow for work (otherwise a fine lens), but it comes in handy for bugs and slugs, and I've taken too many really good shots of creepy crawlies to seriously contemplate selling it. It really, REALLY depends on what you tend to spend most time photographing, and it's impossible to really fault any one owner on their decision. The 100 is of course guaranteed full-frame ready and WR, so those are two practical points in its favour, and that would technically make it the better lens if you can live with the more restricted FOV.

Another take with DA Primes only:
DA15, DA 35 Macro, DA 70, DA* 200
K3

In all honesty I would not make the trade since I have far more than this already.
