I'd love to know how many lenses you own!

Lens maintenance day, everything off the shelves to be cleaned. 

 

[ST]

FE PZ 16-35mm f/4 G - landscape, environmental portraits, family events

FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS - travel, street, landscape

FE 50mm f/1.2 GM - low light situations, but otherwise I use my zoom lenses

FE 70-200 mm f/2.8 GM OSS II - my favourite for daily walks in nature. I carry the 2.0X teleconverter in case I need more reach for distant wildlife or candid shots

FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 OSS - wildlife, especially birds in flight

Before switching to Sony I had all Canon gear, I still have a ton of their lenses and an adaptor to use them with my Sony body. I did purchase a Sony 55mm lens and I use that 90% of the time, the focus is crazy good and my other lenses are so soft and unreliable. I really should see if I can sell them off or trade them for more Sony lenses!

Um, I never part with glass so my gear closet is kind of heaven. 😂

You should follow with the question: How many of those lenses do you actually use? (more than twice a year) 😇

[tonygale]

I have a lot, mostly because it's really helpful to have just the right tool for a specific shoot!

@LensBrew I regularly use 24-70/2.8 GMII, 70-200/2.8 GMII, 24-105/4 G, 85/1.8, 135/1.8, 100/2.8 STF, 16-35/4 PZ, 50/1.2 GM, 35/1.4 GM and the 200-600. The others I use less often

I’m assuming you used the 600 f/4 in Svalbard. How far was too far the subject with this lens? Did you add a teleconverter?

Yes, I used the 600 f/4 in Svalbard. I wish I brought my range finder so I could make a better estimate. but I think anything greater than 600-1000 meters is too far especially from a moving boat. I did have a 2x TC but stopped using it because I felt it was too much of a challenge to get a stable shot while the boat was bobbing at that magnification. If I had a tripod and was on solid ground, I could've probably reached farther and still maintain decent sharpness.

Makes sense. Thanks.

The lenses I use the most is 14-24 f2.8, 24-70 f2.8 and 70-200 f2.8 and I believe these lenses will cover everything I need if I can have only 3 lenses, these will be the ones

I am very much new to sony ecosystem. I just bought sony A7IV and 200-600G oss lens in this january and still grooming myself up with wildlife photography. so that I just have one lens only, hopefully I would gear up many more soon.
