I wonder people have that many lens ever get to use any single one of them for any significant amount of photo taking ;).

Not to say I'd mind some of the gems from that list, but I think collectors and photographers living in separate worlds.

Okay so this guy really does take some photos with his lens (and not test chart either).

I am stunned by the conditions of his lens - I can't even see any scratches on the mount ring.

I only need to fit any lens to my camera once and the mount ring will have some scratches.
Just press the release buttom during screwing and unscrewing a lens, like I am doing it.
Come on, guys! What's the big deal of the mount being scratched? :-) If you don't want it to have scratches, just don't mount the lenses! ;-D
I have far less lenses than that guy so I must be a "photographer"! ;-D
Agree.
Why would somebody keep the 50mm 1.2 and sell the 50mm 1.4? Both are good, MAYBE the first is better, but the second is autofocus which makes it MUCH more useful...

The 50/1.2 is way better. The 1.4 is nowhere near as good.
Then why is there no AF version of it? Do you know?
Because the AF lenses were redisigned in order to make moving group lighter. It wasn't easy with A 50 f1.2.
You're just guessing, aren't you?
What are the differences between e.g. the A and the F versions of the 50mm f/1.4? What was redesigned?
Beautiful pictures of beautiful gear.

make me wanna kill... (envy , wrath, lust and greed. damn good post rice :D )
is interesting statement about FA50
my most bellowed lens are FA50 1.4, once I even sold one for very good price, but in short term i find another one and buy, i like it more than FA35 or DFA50 Macro and a lot more than zooms.
Now the fotos are offline.
