My lenses by mount (2026-07): Lenses to keep

While I have a lot of lenses, there is no lens that is actually expensive (over $200-300). Some of them are very cheap. However, despite their cost, several of my lenses are important to me.

For the full-frame Sony a7c, I would keep two lenses. The Pentax K 30/2.8 and the Staeble-Werk Choro R 35/4.5.

Overall, I like Pentax lenses, and the K-series interests me the most. I didn't like the Pentax K 30/2.8 until I got a full-frame camera. Now, it is the most interesting of all my K-series lenses.

The Staeble-Werk Choro R 35/4.5 is not optimal, but it's a very rare lens. Some people think this lens doesn't exist at all. But I have a copy. And it works.

For a Samsung NX camera, I would keep the Samsung NX 30/2. This lens is optically good.

For a Pentax Q camera, I would keep the Pentax Q 01 8.5/1.9 Standard Prime and the Pentax Q 07 11.5/9 Mount Shield Lens. The former is the best prime lens for the system (and I prefer prime to zoom), and the latter is fun.
