I see from your signatures that many of you have cameras and lenses that I can't even count...
Do you get to use all of them (actively)?

It seems like some of you are addictive like myself Laughing .
But, I still think it'll take me at least 30 years to collect what some of you have...

Lens addiction is a dangerous illness Laughing I have always different favorites.
I love to try always new ones and to sell a rarity or a very good ones always hard also sell any of them for a few bucks. So I have over hundred LOL

Does red fonts gear in your signature have any significance?
I envy that you have Olympus 18/3.5....

I thought they are my best lenses, I was lazy to make red one some others.

Olympus OM 21mm f3.5 and Carl Zeiss Flektogon 20mm f2.8 MC good as 18mm.

Can Carl Zeiss Flektogon 20mm f2.8 MC be mounted on 5D with an adapter?

5D has mirror issue problem so I am not sure. I saw somewhere compatible chart. If I remember as well you can mount Flektogons without hit mirror.

Thanks...
My mirror is shaved already.

You can use Flektogon 20/2.8 on 5D without any problem. Flektogon 25/4 and Pancolar 80/1.8
have a mirror issue as far as my 5D is concerned. YMMV

A helluva waste of bandwidth too, cumulatively.

This is the problem. Some lenses are not used often.
That's why I have sold and am selling some lenses...

I'm less concerned by that (text is small compared to images and video) and more so on the effect for indexing. If someone googles a lens that one of us has in our signatures, they will get many hundreds of hits (actually google will suppress them as 'similar sites') of which only one or two will actually be about that lens, the rest about a different subject entirely.

I wonder therefore if it would not be better to move that information to a 'gear list' section of our profiles ...

True.
