Dear fellow camera collectors, I am more a lens than a camera collector - You might have guessed this already. Today I put all my glass on the floor and mady this picture of it:  Allmost all of the lenses are original Minolta plus a few Tokina and Tamron SP. And most of them are capable to produce resutls that easily exceed my photographic possibilities. I like them anyway. :-) Best regards Peter |

Hi Peter,
that looks like too much nice glass for your display cabinet so I'll do you a big favour and let you store most of it at my house on a long term deal.

Gasp!
Do you have a feeling that you are being watched?
Just ignore me.
I am sure Minolta loves you.

PeterS,
Wow, you da man...when it comes to lenses.
I would go nuts trying to decide what lens to take with me on any given day.
You must have some gadget bag.

Dear Curt,
Thank You for Your assistance! Come over, and take a few ;-)
Dear Mickey,
so sad, I got the impression, Minolta doesn't care for their great MC mount anymore :-(
... and, er, I see no reason to ignore You (sorry, if I missed something. My English might
be worse than You think). But to keep those lenses from watching me, all of them are
equiped with caps on both ends.
Dear Dan,
for the daily pack, the issue is simple. Over the last few weeks I had those original Minolta
glass in my pack: 2.8/24, MC 1.8/35, 1.2/58 or 1.4/50, 1.7/85 (or 4/200), 4/100 macro, 2.8/135,
plus from time to time a Tamron SP 5.6/300 close focussing tele lens. I also took the 4/17 with
me for a few occasions.
It was a tough thing however to select the equipement for the last holidays a few weeks ago.
I also had a complete Hasselblad set with me (50, 80, 150 and 250mm, a few backs, light meter,
lens shaded, polarizer, and whole lot of other little things). Luckily enough we went there by
our own car (VW Passat, 2 persons, plus dog, plus lots of baggage - car was full).
Dear Peter (from Peter :-) ),
Today I managed to sell one... but I am not shure, whether this is a clear indication of a healing
lens envy (as the day before I bought a 4/40 for my Hassie...).
Best regards
Peter

Wow !
I feel so inadequate, You've got more Minolta glass than I have Cameras.
Although, I can use a 24mm and a 100mm Macro for my X700 ;D ;D

Dear Galenk,
the 2.8/24 (see the crop from my Eiffel tower picture in one of my Paris posts!) and the 100mm
marco are two exceptional lenses. I think I could live with a ten lens setup - but luckily enough
I don't have to ;-)
Best regards
Peter
