Not that my lens collection makes sense, but I don’t see the rationale in the three zooms hovering around 24-70 nor the three primes 14-16. Sure, I have too many 50s and two more 28s than I need, but I have no overlapping zooms. 🙃
Agree, Jim!.
Just got the Viltrox 14, will test it against the CV 15, If the Viltrox is as sharp as the CV, I may sell the CV, but I will miss the sunstar for sure.
I will sell the Sony 16-25 f2.8 G, the range is too limited as a walk around lens. I bought it for my daughter's wedding but never got to use it. I used the Tamron 35-150 the entire time. I bought the Tamron for the wedding and was going to sell it afterwards, now my church asks me to shoot some events and headshots occasionally, I will keep the Tammy for that.
The Sony 28-60 is so tiny and surprisingly sharp. I haven't used it for a while. It sells for around $200 on B&S board, maybe it's time to find it a new home.
I just got another Sony 20-70 f4, great travel lens for landscape stuff. I will test it against my Sony 24-70 F2.8 GM II, if the sharpness is about the same, I will probably sell the GM II.
I bought back a Sony 100-400 GM for some air to air shoots last year, this copy is so sharp that I kept it afterwards and used it for landscape. Will test the new-to-me Tamron 50-400 against the 100-400 GM, If the sharpness is about the same, I will sell the GM. I don't shoot this lens at 20 FPS so the 15 FPS limitation on the Tammy doesn't bother me much. This range for me is more for landscape, the lighter, the smaller, the better.
I sold me 200-600 after I bought the 400-800. I just bought another 200-600 here to use it for video, which I am just starting to learn. I will use a dual gimbal head, the A1+200-600 on one side for video, the A1II +400-800 (or the 600 GM, or the 300GM+2X TC) ) on the other side for still. I haven't used the 600 GM for many months, maybe even that lens will get on the chopping block! Another lens on the list that I rarely use, if ever, if the Sigma 35 f2, maybe it's time to found it a new home too.
The two Canon lenses are for my infrared Canon R5. They are quite sharp, very light and small, have very little hot spot issue. I love them for IR shots.
Definitely need to do some house cleaning, maybe after the holiday. I have six tripods...Will try to get down to three
