My Personal Lenses as of May 1 2026

My Personal Lens Collection

My main system is Micro Four-Thirds or M43. Having said that I have a real interest in older digital cameras and lenses and get a great deal of personal satisfaction from using them.

If I am going out to take specific photographs for one of my other websites, I usually take the M43 gear. But not always. Any of my other cameras are quite capable of taking most photos I need and although I love my M43 gear I do like to give my 35mm and DSLRs an outing too.

Everything nowadays seems to be people telling you that you must use full frame, or you need more megapixels but the truth is you don’t need to and you don’t. The manufacturers have a vested interest in telling you that you need the latest and greatest (read more expensive) to take good photographs. Nor do you need the latest and greatest lenses to take decent photographs.
