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. :smile:

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 :smile:

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

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. :sad:

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 :smile:

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!
