How many lenses do you have?
Feb 8, 2015 12:39:07 #
Interesting! I only have one DSLR, a Nikon D800E--I don't count my D1, as it's more an antique than a usable camera--and one SLR, a Nikkormat. I have 4 lenses for my DSLR and 3 for my SLR.
I don't collect lenses or cameras, other than my D1, because I usually roll over my gear, "trading up" rather than adding. For example, my D800E with a 24-70 mm lens only cost me $1100 plus my D300S and its 70-200 mm lens. (I may have tossed in another D lens; but I was movin' on up to full frame, so the D lenses we're going anyways.

Not in my world. Two cameras, two lenses and a non-working flash. If you have a sudden urge to purge your Nikon lens stash let me know. :-)

D3100 and D90 and 24 lenses...some duplicates because of the way bought things. Use? Typically the ED3100 and a Tamron 18-270.

My Thoughts as well ,currently 5 lenses & 2 bodies (d7000 with 17-50 sigma up 4 sale) and my d610 along with 28 mm 85 mm sigma 70-200 & last a (sigma 28-90 mcro also up 4 sale). I believe if you have the range you need in a good lens why be a pack rat . CJ , no offence but you only can use one lens at a time. uote=jerryc41]My son and I have a total of eight lenses between us. I don't hesitate to sell a lens when I get something better, or find that I don't need it. I've sold more lenses than I currently have.[/quote]

You can only use one lens at a time, but if you play your cards right, there will be a great many different times & different circumstances that require different camera bodies & different lenses. Bab

I have 3 Nikon Bodies and and six pieces of glass. If I win the lottery 2 more Nikon bodies and a bunch more long glass, so I can make them come to me.

I have more lenses, and camera bodies, than my wife knows about ( they pretty much look the same to her). I will leave it at that.

Why so many lenses? Waste of money. I have one film camera with three lenses, which also fit my digital. I bought one more zoom recently. However I have or had 300+ cameras in my collection. I'm now trying to sell them.

I don't come close, I have around 25 or so lenses and I'm down to 6 cameras (I sold 4 SLR's in 2011).

I can understand five or six primes, and no more than two zooms (one for wide, one for tele, or just one that covers everything). But unless you are a professional and make your living at it, I dont see any reason (other than you have way too much disposable income and have nothing else to do with your money) for the average photographer, amateur/hobbyist OR professional, to have 20, 40, 90 lenses
I dont know that Nikon or Canon even HAVE that many lenses in their arsenal.
Right now, I just have two lenses, 50mm f1.4 and 105mm f2.5. Previously, I also had the 300mm f4.5. Never had a zoom or autofocus.
