Re: HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH? WAS: RE: 50/1.4 or 1.2 for the DSLR Bodies
Thanks! I just showed your mail to my wife, so now she knows that I'm not that bad I've got 1 M-lens, 6 A-lenses, 3 FA-lenses, 2 DA-lenses (and more on its way) and one Sigma 70-300 that I'll give a poor Pentax-using artist I know as soon as I meet her .-) DagT I have finally inventoried all my PK lenses, and I have a total Of 47. 37 Pentax, 10 third party. The pentax are mostly All primes, K/M. Am I crazy or any others of you out there With that many (about $6000 worth ) just in Pentax K mount lenses? I think I will be getting a K10D too but I have been so Busy with other things lately I haven't had much time For photography, :( JCO -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

And that's just the PK lenses. I also have a complete set of The SMCT (35mm M42) lenses 17mm thru 1000mm plus a bunch of special Interest M42's that Pentax didn't make. Whew...

Re: HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH? WAS: RE: 50/1.4 or 1.2 for the DSLR Bodies
I eventually sell all the lenses I don't use. I've owned at least fifty PK lenses but now have about a dozen. Most of the A, FA or DA, although a few oldies, like the K85/1.8 and K135/2.5, are too good to part with. On Sep 17, 2006, at 2:30 AM, J. C.

Life is too short to use second-rate glass :) I'm pretty much the same though I do have two Pentax lenses on cameras in a glass case. I had a big sell off over a few years and reduced what was truly an out of control collection down to what is not a good utilitarian set of very well performing lenses which I would hate to have to replace now: Pentax 1 x A convertor 1 x F convertor 1 x screw lens (display) 1 x M lens (display) 6 x A lens 3 x A* lens 4 x FA lens (2 x LTD) 1 x FA* lens 1 x DA lens Non-Pentax K 1 x A lens -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

Re: HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH? WAS: RE: 50/1.4 or 1.2 for the DSLR Bodies
JCO, I'm crazy too, stopped counting after 50+ primes, not including F or FA lenses. I am still looking for an A28 f2.0 and K28/2.0, otherwise I've got most of the K, M, A line, except... never got into the fish-eyes @ 17mm or the soft focus lenses (85mm) don't have any examples of the 28mm f3.5's or 35/3.5's don't have anything longer than 400mm Regards, Bob S.
