Holiday Ornaments

I think they may weigh down the limbs of the tree! These are all aftermarket lenses, with two exceptions. 121 lenses and a half dozen tele-converters. Tokina is the most represented manufacturer.

Whatever you're celebrating around the winter solstice, have a happy holiday!

How many primes?

How many zooms?

The "collection" represents about thirty years. It started with camera shows, accelerated with early e-bay purchases around 2000 and moved into high gear with a move to Florida in 2005. Many have come from thrift stores as families donate their parents stuff. Some of them show their Florida heritage with fungus and migrating lubricants. Just about all of them are dressed in formal black. The exceptions are a Steinheil Cassarit 40mm and an Alpex 135mm in silver. An interesting subset are these Sears-Roebuck branded lenses. 28mm, 55mm Macro, 135mm and 200mm. A sub-subset is the Lentar Automount lenses. They are Tokina made, T4 style lenses that use a different method of attaching the adapter. A few other interesting critters are also in the collection.

Impressive collection.

Do you use them all? (My wife firmly believes lenses get "unhappy" unless they are being used, which means I pretty much have to use a different lens for every day of the year)
