adan Posted January 3, 2022 Share #144 Posted January 3, 2022 My seven M-mount lenses average out to $800 each - all but one were individually less than $1000 each (exception being the 28mm Elmarit v.4 w/6-bit coding and recent Leica CLA with warranty from Leica Store Miami). Which is still expensive for "toys" - but since I earn back their cost quickly, not so much for pro use. BTW - I never carry more than 4 at once: one on a camera, 2-3 in a deliberately-small bag. I pick and choose "combos" depending on the subject, my intent, and whether Jupiter is aligned with Mars in Aquarius. 28/75 - 21/35/75/135 - 21/35/90 - 21/28/35/90 - 21/35/135 - 21/28/50/135 I manage to avoid multiple versions fo the same focal length by side-stepping for characteristics - a 75 f/1.5 for short-tele speed, and a 90 f/2.8 for compact carry, Is just more useful than two 75s or two 90s. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erikvw Posted January 5, 2022 Share #158 Posted January 5, 2022 After reading the summary of the collection of lenses that people own, my mind is reassured. I thought my collection of 5M lenses was over the top, but I can now look into the new year guilt free and look forward to expanding my collection. 😉 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's of interest for your stat's then; 28*2; 35*3; 50*5; 90*4. All the other focal-lengths are singletons. Philip. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
