Extraordinary collection! Maybe not yet ultimate as there remain more than a few you'll be adding imho. Before Hoya, Pentax facility in Japan had THE ultimate collection, of course. Notable also for the speed this carefully chosen set was assembled; and the very high performance/cost ratio! (drooling)

Yes, not exactly the ultimate, but distance to that is decreasing rather fast I hunted the 35/4 for months, now I have a minty lens, I'll search for other lenses. The 15/3.5, 58/2, 83/1.9 would surely be for the collection AND the use (whereas other lenses might be not very often used)
My first Takumar (Super Takumar 35/3.5 early design) was bought on 6 mar. 2008, less than 2 years to gather all theses lenses (most of them are in a near mint condition), generally at low prices

I hate you....No...not hate....I ENVY you....there that's better.......why in God's green earth would you post this amazing collection in this forum of LBA sickoe's? Don't you know we will now have to try to out do you? And I just swore off buying more lenses for several months too. Now I have to sit around and wait for the time to pass and then go out and earn more money to finance my habit....Shame on you!!!!
