Great layout and great collection !
You really have the early Vivitars well represented.
I tell my wife that these are my hedge fund, to cover the risks in my stock and bond investments. They have outperformed the markets since 2008 after all.

Thanks everyone. I have to do this from time to time to just see where I am and to decide what can go and what I need to save up to buy. Yes I have had Vivitar disease and will soon have CZ disease but the Vivitars are easier and much cheaper to buy. I tried for Asahi disease but found my wallet had been inoculated!!

Great collection!
BTW, it's a good idea to keep your lenses in different cabinets, bags and shelves. That reduces the impression of mere mass.

Thanks every one. I keep them in drawers and only bring out one or two at a time so my wife had never seen all of them at once and didn't realize how many I had.
PS....I wouldn't wish being just like me on anyone....I'm old and ugly....think about it!!! LOL
