My trusty 14-600 mm f/1.4

My Nikkor 50mm f2 Ai is the best lens in the universe, so its a keeper.

RF 50 1.4

Sigma ART 18-35mm f/1.8 Pentax fit

>>4463119

Not bad. I have an early Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 that is waiting to show me what it can do.

>>4463101
APS-C so Sigma 23mm 1.4 as an all-rounder I guess.

Micronikkor 105mm 2.8 ai-s

>>4463101
24-120mm f4
I have a bunch of lenses, but this isn't even something I need to think about.
Yes, it's a bit dark, but as long as there is any daylight at all, it can do anything.

>>4463101
85mm 1.4L

>>4463149
For comparison, these are the lenses I own:
>24-120mm f4
>24-70mm f2.8 (old Tamron, a bit soft)
>70-200mm f2.8
>14-24mm f2.8
>50mm f1.4
>80mm f1.8
>80mm f1.4
>60mm f2.8 macro

>>4463153
>80mm f1.8
>80mm f1.4
Meant 85mm, obviously

Im in love with my Asahi Super Takumar 50mm SMC 1.4f

Nikkor 85/1.4 AF-D

EF 70-200 f/4 IS USM, but if I did get rid of everything else I'd cheat and grab a 1.4x teleconverter as well.
It's a bitch though because I like doing a broad range of photography that necessitates other lenses.
But, with the money I made back from selling my other lenses I'd be able to grab a really good star tracker and do some medium telephoto space stuff.

Panasonic 18-40mm

The 45 1.8 on my Electro 35 GTN because I need no more than that to be quite frank.

>>4463101
Gotta be either my EF 100-400 IS II or my RF 24-70 2.8.

Probably the 24-70. That on the R6 II can realistically do a ton.

>>4463186

What film are you shooting with it?

>>4463191
Anything.

>>4463101
Nikon Z 85mm 1.8
Perfect, and not even asspensive.

>>4463101
For me, its the Industar 50-2

35mm f1.2 Nokton III

50mm f1.5 Nokton II and 50mm f1.8 S are close runner ups
In practice, the lens I've used the longest, while selling and trading everything else, has been the 35mm f2.5 PII

>>4463101
idk probably the Nikon Z 40mm f2

40.

8mm fisheye. I can just crop in post.

It's not technically the best, but it's very low on chromatic aberration, its very small and it focuses internally, which I like.

>>4463105
Post lens.

Hey buddy I think you got the wrong thread, the astrophotography general is three rows down.

>>4463335
Love this lens.

After buying a few lenses over the years, the 16-50 3.5-5.6 pancake kit lens is all I need.

Canon EF 75-300 f/4.0-5.6.
I'm as amateur as amateur gets so simple is good, and this lens is simple. Easy to get good pics with in most conditions.

>>4463101
this is a common fantasy and activity among hobby photographers in particular and they always get emotional over it. people dream of this and answer enthusiastically bur aren’t ready to do it… because the void is fake-full with sticks and lint called gear.

i think people who shoot just for fun gearfag because they are depressed and trying to inject motivation and inspiration where their shitty life cant (photography is inexorably tied to travel) so eventually the gear disgusts them because it reminds them of when they were frustrated and depressed and trying to fill the void with their ample disposable income, likely income that came from the very reason their life was so static, depressing, and meaningless

for me i simply have no reason to choose one lens. i like everything i have and bought it all to do stuff with. i simply shant be choosing just one. i will use my 40 and 85 forever. sorry!

pretty easy. nokton classic 35mm 1.4 mkii
all i need for street and portrait

>>4463382
how small or low-resolution is the sensor on the camera that took this photo? Your cameras look like nearly-indistinct black blobs.

good. mf doesn't work for that wide open bokeh snapshot type of shot. but it's good for everything i do
>>4463391
sure, but it doesn't really matter. this model is about 8 years old. i suspect phones have one of the fastest upgrade cycles of any type of tech.
>>4463404
??

>>4463279
I was going to say that I'd keep the 50mm 1.8, but honestly, I use the 40mm more, so probably that one.

>>4463444
Yeah

>>4463101
28-300mm

My biggest, fattest, blackest one.

The one inside my Olympus XA that I love because it's cute

>>4463652

Then you own one of the very best lenses ever made.

>>4463684
I fucking adore it, anon, it continually makes me pick it up and use it even for things it's not well suited for but it's fucking hypnotic. And it's like two different lenses, between how it looks wide open vs how it looks even just stopped down to f/2.8 or f/4.

really easy question

>>4463101
>all these manual lenses ITT
Why in the absolute fuck

>>4463149
>24-120mm f4
This. f4 is one of those limitations that doesn't really matter in most cases, if you know your stuff.

>>4463819
Well, it can be hard with indoors events, but outside it's generally never a problem.

>>4463817
/p/ is a contrarian board anon.
why are you here?

>>4463744
Very worthy answer.
