Depends what counts. My Konstruktor kit came with its lens, a (roughly) 45 mm f/10 single-element plastic Holga-class lens, but which is detachable on an actual SLR.

Otherwise, my most recent SLR lens was the 50mm Sekor C for my RB67.

I bought a 35mm PC Nikkor lens after working with a 28mm PC Nikkor. Both are great lenses not just for architecture, but natural scenes with trees. I like to keep those trees straight.

First time in 4 years i am able to play.......2 weeks ago...just got a good deal, on a Very Good Condition, Canon FD, 300 f/4.0
It was 200 bux from my local Craigslist.
It was 195 actually, but i only had 200 and he only had 1.98 in change.......so he made an extra $5.00
He was probably able to retie early after that.

Bought a Nikon 28-70mm AF zoom (non-D version) for $35... and got a N-70 to boot. The camera is reportedly not working.

My most recent lens acquisitions were over a year ago now, and I have hardly had a chance to use them due to the lockdown, they are the Canon FD 80-200 f4 zoom lens, and a Canon FD 24 mm f2.8 wide-angle lens, but now that the better weather is coming and I'm fully vaccinated against COVID19 I'm itching to get out with them.
My wife has told me I have to stop buying lenses because I have fifteen Canon FD lenses, I honestly have never counted them before, and we need considerable building work done on our house shortly that's going to cost a great deal.

Just found out the auctioneer lost the Sigma and the Fujinon - NOT HAPPY!

Anyway, the SP90 arrived and with a new lens hood she looks good on my Olympus. Takes nice images too.

I bought an OM2N along with a 50mm, 28mm and 135mm from a seller here a month ago. I'm planning to sell off all my other bodies and just to stick with the OM system

My GAS is already making me want an OM4Ti, but that'll have to wait. The OM4Ti is the end game, I think

Most of my lens money has gone towards Canon RF lenses for my mirrorless gear over the last couple of months, but in the last 2-3 weeks I did purchase a few slr lenses. The most recent is the MC Rokkor-PG 50/1.4 for an SRT-102 that I bought for $9.99 after no one else bid on it. Turns out the camera and meter work just fine, but it needs seals and a good cleaning. I also bought an SMC Pentax-A 50/1.4 for the K2 even though it's currently mounted on the ME Super. Lastly, an EF 28-135/3.5-5.6 for my EOS A2. My lens budget is beyond depleted but I'm suffering from really bad GAS these days...

100mm f/2.8 Hexanon AR for my Konica T3. Unfortunately, it's arrival coincided with three days of miserable weather.

Yes, right. Maybe the last camera you purchase for the month. It is like eating one potato chip.

That particular example is one very rare potato chip!

No, I really HAVE slowed down, almost to a standstill. My last buying frenzy included one Topcon Super D with f/1.4 lens,plus three more Super D bodies, and one Topcon D-1 body, all in about 6 months. As a teen, I had an unsatisfied LUST for the Topcon Super D, as it was made of Unobtanium.

Well a few years ago I too stopped having GAS and I do not get temped by cameras or lenses much since. As a teenage too had camera lust, but it was for a Bronica S and I still do not have one.

I got a used Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 from mpb.com for $189 ($205 with tax) to go on my Pentax ZX-L (aka MZ-6). Plus side is that it will even work on my Kalimar K-90

I'm never buying any more lenses, I have fifteen Canon FDn lenses, and it's more than enough.

I scored a Tamron 300mm f2.8 tele with mounts for Pentax, my main system, and Nikon. It also came with the dedicated 1.4 tele converter by Tamron. This monster uses small filters in a drawer, but needs a 112mm filter to protect the front element. It also came with a carrying case, a good thing since it weighs about five pounds. A sweet lens!
