I’d be interested in knowing:
Sony / 3rd party split
AF / MF split
Zoom / prime split
The top 3 prime focal lengths owned by FM Sony shooters (I suspect it is 35, 50 and 600 )
Of the e-mount lenses I own below, the only ones that don’t get used much are the TT Artisan, FE35 and 20G, although in the last 6 months I’ve found some occasion to use the latter two
A bit too many but will be downsizing once I confirm my favourites, picked up most at good prices so shouldn't lose much and kept them in good condition. It's my first year back to photography in a long time and wanted to explore what's out there and discover what things matter to me.
Last I counted, it was 58 lenses across 3 dry cabinets. That was before I started the pruning process earlier this year. To date, I sold the Mamiya 645 system, the Fuji X system, and the Canon EF system. Each kit had 4-5 lenses which means I should have somewhere between 43-45 left, most of them are older film-era mounts like F or M.
The Sony glass has been by far my favorite.
GM primes: 24, 35, 50, and 85mm.
VC primes: 21, 35, 50 and 75mm.
Travel prime: 40mm f/2.5 G.
Macro prime: Sigma 105mm f/2.8 DG DN Art.
GM zooms: 24-70mm f/2.8 II, 70-200mm f/2.8 II.
In the analog world, my favorite set is the Hasselblad/Zeiss CFI lenses, I have all of them between 50mm and 250mm.

What do you think of the Nokton in comparison to the 35mm Sigma f2? Been thinking of adding it or the APO.

Interesting question. Sorry I don't have a good answer. I bought the Sigma 35 f2 for the Sony A7RC that I briefly owned. I don't think I have taken one single picture with the Sigma. It's a beautifully crafted lens. I used the Voigtlander 35 F1.2 occasionally for the beautiful sunstar and F1.2 for some "creative" stuff. it's a very compact/light lens for being F1.2. I may sell the Sigma since I I don't use it at all.
