I don't know what is more impressive the photo of the collections or the lists. But either way, I feel less need to pair things back, and maybe it is fine to add a couple.

You must be a programmer.

I know I messed up the poll, but there is no option for me to change it, so I just went with it. See that option as upto 10. Sorry.

From memory I think I have:

viltrox 14
viltrox 16
sony 16-35pz
zeiss loxia 21
Sigma i24/3.5
Pentax K 28/3.5 rarely used
Tamron 28-75 G2
Sony 28-60
Sigma i35
Sigma 40/1.4 Art
Sigma i65
Sony 70-200 f4II
Zeiss Batis 85
Sony 135GM


My 135GM is criminally under used at the moment.

I didn't count the Sigma APS-C lenses that my daughter uses on my old a6000

7 for E-mount (14 f/4, 20-40 f/2.8, 28 f/4.5, 35 f/1.4 GM, 50 f/2.5 G, 55 f/1.8, 75 f/2).

2 for A-mount (24 f/2.8, 70-210 f/4).

Have 6. Bought them on sale or used which makes me feel better. I probably only use 2-3 regularly. 3 others have a niche case and maybe 1 just doesn't get used at all.

Lenses that I actually use (or intend to use):

One built into a 1953 Rolleiflex (75/3.5 Tessar)
Two for 'blad mount (50/4.0, 100/3.5)
Three for Canon DSLR mount* (50/1.4, 100/2.0, 70-200/4.0 (original version)).
And gazillions (mostly Cosina primes) for E-mount. They muiltiply like tribbles.

*: Truth in advertising: the adapters I have don't work with the 50/1.4 (at all) and the 100/2.0 (well enough to actually use it). The 70-200 was, the last time I tried it, just fine. But it's a larger lens than I like to carry.

E-mount:
Viltrox 14/4
Nisi 15/4
Sony 20/1.8 G
Tamron 28-75 G2
Sigma i35
Sigma i45
Sigma i65
Sigma 105 ART macro
Sony 100-400
Sony 200-600
Sigma 500/5.6
And thinking about several others

Other mounts:
Minolta 12.5mm/2 micro
Minolta MD 24/2.8 (does not adapt well to Sony or Fuji)
Minolta MD 28/2.8
Minolta MC 28/2
Minolta MC 28/2.5
Minolta MD 50/1.7 (a gem no one ever mentions)
2 copies of the Minolta MC 58/1.4
Vivitar (Kiron-made) 28-85/2.8-3.5
Vivitar 100/2.8 macro (Kiron)
Nikon 55/2.8 Ai-S micro (keeps up with modern lenses)
Voigtlander 125/2.5 APO-Lanthar macro (stunning color and bokeh)
2 copies of the Minolta MC 135/2.8
Minolta MD 50-135/3.5 (my dad's old fave)
Minolta MD 100-300/5.6
Tokina 100-300/4
Tamron 400/4 (rough shape)
I have a few film bodies as well. several Minoltas, Nikkormat FTn, Olympus OM-1 (dad used it for astro)
I need to sell some of these...

I sold all of my Canon EF (16-35/4, 17-40, 50/1.4, 100/2.8 USM macro, 15-85, 70-200/2.8, 300/4L, 100-400 I and II) and Fuji XF lenses (14, 18-55, 56/1.2, 80, 100-400). I miss the Fuji, but sold it due to the 100-400 not tracking well enough.

20G, 35GM, 50GM1.2 & 70-200GM2. I've been trying my best to forget about 85mm, I'll likely try and find a lightly used 90G at some stage.

p.4 #18 · How many lenses do you own?


I had waaay too many at the end of last year since I was fully kit loaded in the Canon and Sony Systems. I sold off all my Canon gear and now am more reasonably stocked in the lens dept:

300 F2.8 GM
50-150 F2 GM
28-70 F2 GM
14 F1.8 GM
24 F1.4 GM
35 F1.4 GM
50 F1.2 GM
85 F1.4 GM II
100 F2.8 STF GM
Sigma 200 F2 DG OS
Sigma 135 F1.4 DG DN
Sigma 105 F1.4 Art
Sigma 45 F2.8

The least used is the 100 F2.8 STF as it’s a specialty lens reserved for super bright days — mostly beach portrait sessions

I have 6 lenses, each from a different manufacturer; I guess that’s the perks of being a Sony shooter.

Sigma 35mm f2
Sony 24-105mm f4
Tamron 20mm-40mm f2.8
Thypoch 28mm f1.4
Viltrox 50mm f2
Voigtlander 40mm f1.2 SE

35+40+50? I have the 35 and the 50 Nokton and I keep thinking about the 40, but somehow I can't bring myself to do it.
