Current state of affairs - Warning lens P0rn!
I was thinking of selling on the Ks, the FA50 f/1.7 and a bunch of Taks that I also have and putting them towards another Zeiss (Distagon T* 2.8/25)

If you had this lot, which is soon to be joined by a Zeiss T* 50/2 Makro-Planar... what would you do?
Sell the lot! And switch to Canon.

Very nice set. I'd definitely get out and take a lot of pictures

We are all different but I recommend taking just two lenses like the 21 Ltd and the 70 Ltd and one body it's liberating. And now I'll quite rightly be told to shut up and p*ss off. I'm used to it.

Just a gentle wry comment about having too much gear and risk stifling creativity. Today I went out with one camera which I am not allowed to name which has a fixed focal length of 23mm on APS and the K5 plus 4 lenses in the bag. How many lenses did I use on the K5? One - the 70 Ltd. I took more with the un-named camera than the K5 because it's so simple to use and always delivers. Having two cameras was a dratted nuisance really but just now and then I needed the 70.

Oh I often pick just one, probably the 43 if truth be told and have a wander around Cork doing some street shooting. If I am attending a gig, I'll pack 3, 43, 50 f/1.2 and 77 and jump between them depending on the bands. I get the most keepers with the 50 though, just get into a MF zone, leave it at f/2, shutter at 1/50 and TAV.
Still learning the 31

Algi, i'm sure you could do some very artistic photos of your spanners if you wanted to

Is that Whitworth or AF?

Yeah, Yeah..
What would you put in there?
A*135? Voigtlander Macro APO-Lanthar 125mm f2.5 Perhaps?

Or maybe a K135 f/2.5, heavy but nice.

And this (!):

It's actually a 1:2 macro lens. But Vivitar didn't want to brag, and so say merely "Close Focus".

Listen to my albums free on BandCamp. Or visit my main website for links to photography, etc.

Built like a rock. Smooth focus. Detail, colour, bokeh all first-rate...

Of course it's 270mm equivalent focal on MFT. And a bit big for me. But a great bargain if you can find one.
