Simple question, unless you have a lot of counting to do!

I currently have 3.
25mm 1.7 prime, a 12-60mm 3.5, and a 45-150mm 3.5.

I also have a 100-300 on my wish list that would replace my 45-150.

For my OMD EM5, have the following (all Oly unless otherwise state):
  • 12-40 mm f2.8
  • 14-150mm f4 - f5.6
  • 45mm f1.8
  • 20mm f1.7 pancake (Panasonic)
The 12-40 is my normal lens and by far favorite. To be honest, I can't remember the lat time I've used the two prime lenses. Most of what I do fits really nicely within the to zoom lenses that I have. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Proud to say that after some considerable and brutal pairing down I now have five lenses. I have my eye on a couple of extra additions when funds are available and one little used lens is likely to depart soon.

I decided a while back that I need to consider very seriously if I need to keep anything that hasn’t been used in the last 12 months.

I"m definitely having lens envy.

My lineup is:


AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II

AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II

AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR

AF-S NIKKOR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR

Lomography Daguerreotype Achromat 64mm f/2.9 Art Lens

I also have 35mm and 50mm Nikkor primes, and a Vivitar 70-120 (?) that are about 35 years old. I don't use them anymore because the focus and metering functions of today's cameras do not support those lenses.


The 28-300 is my go to lens. The Daguerreotype is my favorite and most fun.
I rarely use the 80-400. I won't get rid of it, but in retrospect I would have gotten something along the lines of the 28-300 but faster.

A while ago I compiled a list of my lenses so that makes this easy! All are Nikon lenses or Nikon F-mount lenses from other manufacturers -- all have been lovingly accumulated and used through the years. Some lenses that I had in the past have left the "family," so are not listed but are still missed from time to time (200mm f/2, 300mm f/2.8, Fisheye, 14-24mm, etc.)). In addition, on the list are three Sony E-mount lenses for the Sony NEX-7. I keep them in various locations and then when preparing for a specific situation collect what I need and put them into the appropriate camera bag.

CAMERA GEAR:

In Armoire:

18-55mm DX

55-200mm DX

60mm f/2.8 Macro

70-180mm Macro

70-300mm G VR


In Pelican Case:

35mm f/1.8 G

50mm f/1.4 D

58mm f/1.2 (NOCT)

Tokina AT-X 90mm Macro f/2.5

105mm AIS f/1.8

50mm AIS f/1.2

Lester Dine 105mm f/2.8 Macro


In Think Tank Bag:


24-70mm f/2.8 G

105mm f/2.8 G Macro


(Lenses for Sony NEX-7):

Sony E-mount 18-200mm OSS (APS-C sensor)

Sony E-mount 50mm f/1.8 (APS-C sensor)

Sony E-mount 35mm Macro (APS-C sensor)

I was going to make this thread a poll, but when I started filling out a range, I started to wonder what the choices should be. I’m beginning to think some folks live in a camera shop!

And I failed to mention in my OP, I have all Panny lenses. And I also don’t feel so bad for considering putting a fisheye on my wishlist!

I think these are interesting to see what people prefer. I shoot fuji XT 2.

8-16 f/2
16 f/1.4
16-55 f/2.8
35 f/2
80 f/2.8 Macro
50-150 f/2.8
1.4 converter

My favorites are if I'm going to the botanic gardens the 80 macro and the 16-55. Probably my favorite lens is just the 16 because it's such a nice size and I love it for sunset, landscape or street shooting which are some of my favorite types of photography. If I go down to the city I really like the 16-55 and 50-150 for versatility and I really enjoy the 8-16 for these types of days too so that may be becoming my favorite lens for these trips.

The only other lens I'm really looking at is the 56mm f/1.2 I made the mistake of borrowing one from the fuji booth at click con and falling in love with the shots I was getting with it. It was a really beautiful focal length and the blur I was getting was engough that I really noticed a difference. The only other one I could really look into is that 27 pancake lens but the 35 f/2 is pretty close to filling that role already and I honestly usually just grab the 16mm in those cases where I want to travel light so it really isn't a high priority for me.

If you're really that embarrassed, I'll be happy to help you by taking your F-mount lenses off of your hands or conscience. I'll even pay the shipping. I know that sounds selfish but I'm just trying to be a good friend. :rolleyes:

Ha ha. I forgot two others....

Oh and theres a used Samyang 14mm f2.8 on the way.

You should feel sorry for me.... Imagine the agony I experience choosing a load out before heading out to play....

Wonderful.

For now, I have two, a Summilux 50mm (f.1.4) and a Summilux 35mm (f1.4); a 75mm or a 90mm will be added - in due course - to that collection.
