I have WAY too many horses in my "stable"!

I am becoming a lens "hoarder"

I took these images for insurance purposes but it was not until I realized just how many lenses I have. These photos don't include my two Nikonos (35mm f/2.8 and 28mm f/3.5) Nikkors, which are still at home and the 50mm f1.4 AI'd Nikkor with which I took the photos and my Olympus 50mm f/1.8 MC Zuiko.

Don't feel bad. I've got 28 lenses.

Don't feel bad. I've got 28 lenses.

We both need to go to LHA, Lens Hoarder's Anonymous.

I think the road to recovery starts with, "Hello, my name is ____ and I have a problem."

My problem has been one of slow accumulation. I have had some of these lenses since the very early 80's. The ones I had in the '70's have all been replaced with newer/faster lenses.

I must not be understanding you correctly because you're making this sound like a BAD thing.
??? (!!!)??

[480sparky]

Yes. I have a problem.

I don't have enough lenses.

I like to have lenses available to perfectly fit the shoot.

 

[cbay]

Looks like a high quality problem to me.

Not sure that many lenses is an asset unless the vast majority of your work is in the studio. Seems impractical to carry that lot around to ensure you have the right lens for the shot.
Be nice to have though as those no longer needed can be sold to buy other gear.
That reminds me - off to Adorama

 

[480sparky]

I don't carry all of them when I'm out shooting. Two, three at most. But I can match the shoot with a lens that works best.

 

[Woodyg3]

I don't think you have too many. I think it's a great collection, STM. I be jealous.

Sorry, I thought this was the "post your too many horses in my stable" thread.
