My toys...

Pana 14/2.5
Pana 25/1.4
Oly 45/1.8
Oly 12-50
Pana 12-35/2.8
Pana 100-300

Looking to get 7-14 and 35-100/2.8 in the future
 

Also ditched my nex system for m4/3, esp when em5 excellent sensor is made by sony.

I have only 12-35mm and 25/1.4 which are my most used focal length and aperture. None other systems i know have sharper and better built quality lenses than these 2 as of now.
 

very nice selections of lens from everyone here.
many of you have good focal length range.

this thread tells me i am in the right mirrorless camp.

I like the Samyang FE coz I had the lens when using NEX.
As for the tele-zoom, the 100-300 or 70-300 are a bit big on the OM-D that might looks unbalanced, just like my previous NEX7 with 18-200 lens

because 150mm really still can't get too far at least a bit awkward only when require. I abandon 12-50mm kit lens because it will be also very awkward due to the length and that one will automatically need all the time due to the utility area of coverage. my 5 cents worth IMHO.

Thanks for your pointer...
So far these 2 tele-zooms that can reach 300mm are priced on the high side and the size are not compact either.
Worried that the lens might not be fully utilized due too it's size.
 

My most used Lenses

1) Voigtlander 25f0.95
2) Oly 9-18mm
3) Panny 14f2.5
4) Panny 20f1.7
5) Panny 14-45mm
6) Nikkor 105f2.5
 

Here's mine.

Native m43:
Panasonic 7-14, 20, 100-300
Voigtlander nokton 25/0.95
Olympus 45.
Samyang Fisheye 7.5mm

Most used. 7-14 for landscapes. 45 for portraits. 25 for low light. 20 for walkaround street.
Don't use much zooms coz there's not much quality compact zooms when first started on mirrorless, I learn to adapt my shooting since then, but Pany 12-35 is something...

Procrastinating on: 12-35/75/35-100. Limiting to one, hopefully my sanity prevails...;p

Adapted:
Olympus 50/1.4 (absolute favorite) x 2, ye, that's how much i like it hehe
Olympus Pen F 38/1.8, really small and sharp
Minolta Rokkor PG 58/1.2 for the DOF, the weight is a killer though.
Konica Hexanon 57/1.4.
Contax G Carl Zeiss 90/2.8
Carl Zeiss ZM 50/2 Planar
Canon 35/2 LTM
Voigtlander Heliar 12/5.6 LTM

Auto revuenon 55/1.4 m42
Leica 50/1.5 Summarit LTM
Leica R Summicron 50/2

Classic bokeh is something I like, can't help it:embrass:

My list as follows:

1. Oly 12mm f2.0
2. Oly 45mm f1.8
3. Pana 25mm f1.4

Used to own oly 17mm, pan 20mm, pan 100-300mm, oly 9-18mm and some kit lenses

In the end, I find myself comfortable with my current 3 primes so sold the rest....
25mm & 45mm are my fav focal lengths
 

my lists as follows:
1. Pana 14-42mm kit lens
2. Pana 20mm f1.7
3. Pana 12-35mm f2.8
If wallet allowed, may be add in 1 tele zoom lens from Pana, most likely is the 45-200mm one ;p

Panny announced a new 45-150. Supposed to replace the 45-200. Smaller lighter better build. You might want to wait for this... or... grab the 45-200 as prices drop (if you dont mind buying from overseas)..

Here is my list

1) Panasonic 14mm F2.5
2) Panasonic 20mm f1.7
3) Olympus 45mm f1.8
4) Olympus 40-150mm
5) Panasonic 100-300mm
6) CCTV 25mm f1.4

Most mounted lens: 14 2.5 (day) 20mm f1.7 (low-light)
Least mounted: 40-150mm
planning to get: NOOO! Maybe an adaptor for my Nikon ai/ais?
 

Now I'm using
1) Olympus 12mm F2 (love the metal construction, manual zone focus and ability to use F2 wide open indoors it's my default walkaround lens)
2) Panasonic 25mm F1.4 (sharp beautiful output, only problem is the weight and size is a bit big for M43 imo)
3) Olympus 45mm F1.8 (sharpest m43 lens imo, takes fantastic portraits, value for $)
4) Olympus 40-150mm F4 - 5.6 (cheapest / lightest / fastest focusing telephoto in good light. Great for candid street portraits)


From most used focal length to least, left to right order. 12 > 45 > 40-150 > 25
Strangely enough for me 25mm(normal perspective) is my least used.

Used to have and sold
Olympus 12-42 mm IIr kit lens (performance was actually q good imo, but hated the extending lens)
Panasonic 20mm F1,7 (Everything was good except for the slightly slower focusing)

Contemplating to get the
Samyang 7.5mm F3.5 Fisheye for that I can have the range from 16mm to 300mm(in FF terms) covered.
Olympus 75mm F1.8, though I suspect i can't justify the cost with usage

In my dreams I would like Olympus to make
a 18mm (35mm equivalent) F1.8 prime with the size/weight/construction/snap-focus of the Oly 12mm and priced like the 45mm :lovegrin:
 

Here's mine.

Native m43:
Panasonic 7-14, 20, 100-300
Voigtlander nokton 25/0.95
Olympus 45.
Samyang Fisheye 7.5mm

Most used. 7-14 for landscapes. 45 for portraits. 25 for low light. 20 for walkaround street.

thanks bro finally got courage to list some of my lenses 99% are legacy lenses :P


Native m4/3
1. PL 25mm f1.4

My Fav Adapted Legacy Lenses

Canon FL (predates the FD lenses)
1. Canon FL 50 f1.2
2. Canon FL 85 f1.8

My beloved Leica lenses
1. Summicron 50 f2
2. Elmarit 90 f2.8
3. Elmarit 135 f2.8

Carl Ziess Lens
1. Biotar 58 f2 (rumored that this was the lens Russian copied for thier Helios 58 f/2)
2. Sony Carl Ziess 16-80 (AF) f3.5-4.5 - since m4/3 you can basically mount most lenses out there, so added this as sometimes uses this to my m4/3

Others
1. Nikkor 105 f2.8 micro (macro)
2. Samyang 8mm f3.5
3. Toy Lens 25mm f1.4
4. Couple of russians lenses
5. Couple of A-Mount Sony/Minolta legedary AF lenses also


The good part with mirrorless is basically you can mount most lenses out there

The thing missing on my m4/3 lens are those for landscape for now i still uses my A77 for landscape due to better DR than my EP3 maybe when I finally gotten my OMD I would start investing for Wide and UWA m4/3 native lenses for now I main use my m4/3 for portraits and street candids.

Hope everyone can post their lens collection here.
The aim is share with everyone what lens everyone is owning?
if require, we can also share the views of each lens especially those we don't have.

wow..voluntary declaration of assets ?
very dangerous for me to do so ...the tax officer would come after me....
