I counted. If he sold all, he should be able to buy FA* 200 F4. :-) Great collection anyway.

Think you may have missed another, I didn't see a mention of my Femme Fatale (SMC Pentax-A 50mm F2.8 Macro), I've been mightily impressed with her skills since I've had her.

Admire. How you persuade your wife to buy so many similar stuffs? :-) But frankly speaking, it is very attempting to buy old macro lens as almost all the Macro lenses (1:2/1:1) are not bad at all, for any brand. Many of them are very sharp from center to corner if stepped down. There have too many legendary macro lenses in the used market with relative cheap price.

Wife ????

The price of FA* 200 F4 is inflated due to rarity similar to Voigtlander 125mm F2.5. Once Pentax launches the FF camera next year, surely it will release.relaunch a similar lens after that as providing an upgrade lenses for WR 100mm 2.8. The price should be reasonable eg $1500. Let's wait!

Some lenses will depend very much on a lottery win ( No win no lens )
