How many lenses do you own?

[digmo]

I have four lenses but my favs are the EF50mm 1.5 which cost less than £80 and the EFS60mm Macro. The macro is providing me with hours of fun and flickr action.

Just the two lenses which were bundled with my Sony a300:
18-70 and a 75-300.
Might buy a wide angle or macro sometime.

35mm f/1.8 DX AF-S, 50mm f/1.8 AF and 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 DX AF-S to go with my D90.

Going to sell the D40 kit lens (with the D40) and the 35mm f/2 so those don't count.

More than 10 if you include teleconverters. There's a link to a gear list document in my sig.

It's interesting to see that most of the people on this forum have multiple lenses for their DSLR, contrary to the popular notion that most folks never move beyond the kit lens.

 

[parakiet]

2 on my 6*6, 2 on my sinar and about 8 for the 35mm nikons (D200, D3 and older stuff)

and loving almost all of them

I've got more than one, but they were both kit lenses, so do I fall into both categories?

I think it's a pretty safe bet that the DSLR enthusiasts here aren't representative of "most [DSLR-using] folks."

That "crowd" wouldn't go to the effort of posting on a photography forum in the first place.

That's true but for me at least my 17-55 is on camera most of the time with the 150 macro second. The other three are barely used, just because I don't have the time right now......

 

[modular]

just ordered my 3rd off amazon yesterday (along with a new camera body - upgrading my xti to a t1i )

adding a sigma 30mm 1.4
have a 50mm 1.8 and the 17-55 IS kit lens.

I pretty much only shoot in low light.
the 50mm came with the camera (bought it off a friend). the 50 can be a little tight on a cropped camera when trying to shoot party or bar pics. I think the 30mm will be a better fit and better focusing in low light, plus the 1.4 is a nice little bump over the 1.8.

i'll keep the 50mm because it's so light, and might be better in some instances.

 

[CorporateFelon]

Currently at 4, max was 5. Going to be down to 3 eventually.

Canon 28-135(going to be sold)
Canon 50mm 1.4
Canon 24-70
Canon 70-200 4L
Canon 10-22(Sold, cant use it on the upgraded full frame)

 

[Phrasikleia]

have a 50mm 1.8 and the 17-55 IS kit lens.

I think you mean the 18-55 IS kit lens. It would be pretty great if Canon made the 17-55 be the kit lens!

 

[PeteB]

Canon EOS 1D Mk II N
Canon G9

Canon EF 24-70 F/2.8L
Canon EF 100-400mm 4.5-5.6L IS USM

I've had more in the past (85L, 50 f/1.4), but these are the ones I use. I don't have any real need to buy anything more.

I checked the 7-9 option but I forgot two and plan to buy 2 more so I suspect it will be 12 before long.

[Acsom]

For the 40D and the 1N,

Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 (40D only)
EF-S 17-55 IS f/2.8 (40D only)
EF 50mm f/1.8
EF 28-135 IS f/3.5-5.6
EF 70-200L IS f/2.8
EF 100-400L IS f/4-5.6

And I have I don't know how many FD lenses for the F1N and the AE1-P. Maybe a dozen? Something like that.

 

[Dman77]

For my D60 I have
18-55mm
55-200mm
50mm 1.8

All Nikon lenses.

For those with both the Nikon 35mm 1.8 and 50mm 1.8, how do you get on with the 35mm? I'm toying with the idea of getting one as I love my 50, just wondering if it's worth the extra.

Really. Better than 80 percent of respondents own more than two lenses.

I truly thought I would be done at two lenses, the Leica 14-50mm and an Olympus 70-300; with 2x mag. for the 4/3 sensor that's from 28mm to 600mm covered... who could need more? But out of 7 there is not a single lens of mine that gathers dust. I try not to let the missus see more than two lenses around at the same time.

 

[JFreak]

Sigma 30mm f/1.4
Canon 70-200 IS f/2.8L

Also planning to get a Canon 16-35 f/2.8L (mark-I because it has 77mm filter threads)

 

[gatepc]

I have the 18 to 70mm kit lens and a 70-300mm tamron
