Yet David would still weep seeing Kier's stuff.Yes it's a never ending slippery slope, but very satisfying. You start off with the simple things like a good tripod and a remote release. Then you think "If only I had that particular lens..." and a few years later you have a kit bag that David Bailey would be proud of
only if it's your last one
Looks like he's a collector more than anything else!Kair ... are you a photographer or programmer ? hhh
Congrats on your purchase Marc!
You have to let us see some pics you take with it
lol, glad I wasn't the only one thinking "so that's where part of my vB license money went" - lolMy question is, since I paid for some of those via vB and XF licenses, do I get fractional ownership?
There is no need for more than 3 lenses really.
Every professional I know
To be fair, that was a bit tongue in cheek. Usually though the minimum for a setup would be 3 lenses, the rest are just specific uses - i.e. Primes etc..Every professional I know would disagree, as they have a use for every lens in their kit.
Noone would cart around their entire collection with them!
Yes, precisely. I have no lenses that don't serve a very specific and unique purpose.Every professional I know would disagree, as they have a use for every lens in their kit.
Right, because you know exactly who I know and don't know .Which equals "zero".

For example, I have a 24-70mm f/2.8 zoom, and I also have 28mm, 50mm and 85mm prime lenses. Why do I have those primes, when the zoom covers (almost) every focal length they offer? Because the primes are one or two stops faster, lighter, sharper... With the primes I can shoot at a reasonable shutter speed in dim indoor conditions without a flash, and the huge aperture they offer makes them stunning portrait lenses, capable of throwing the background into a beautiful blur behind the subject.
I could go on, but suffice it to say that while a photographer can get by with just three lenses (or just a single lens, actually), it's simply not correct to say that there is no need for others in order to shoot particular subjects under particular conditions.
Dang, that's longer my AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II... Not sure I'd want to try shooting portraits with a 400 though.That's the Canon EF 400mm ƒ/2.8L IS USM, a seriously serious sports lens.
The 400 ƒ2.8 makes a stunning portrait lens when used from the back of the church during a wedding ceremonyDang, that's longer my AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II... Not sure I'd want to try shooting portraits with a 400 though.
Expensive hobby indeed - a cleaning session of my smaller lenses a few weeks ago:
