" . . . how do I stop buying lenses ? "

Ohhh, you haven't even started yet; but if you want intervention, send me all your cash, check books and those l'il plastic cards.

" . . . can't decide which lens is my favorite yet.

An' by the way, you can't play favorites. It hurts their feelings an' they get jealous and start collecting internal dust just to get even. Also note that they breed in the dark if ya don't keep 'em segregated.

oh,   good point though,    what is the best way to store lenses?   anyone know?     

[blackcloudbrew]

No, no, send me all the lenses (and money too), I'll store them and keep you from succumbing to LBA. As far as your set there, yes you are just getting started. One of the truely great things about the K-mount is that you can get sooooo many lenses for it. Heck, I'll bet ebay was just created for Pentax owners to sell / buy there stuff. (Hey, it could be true!)

In 2008, I had no DSLR and not a single k-mount lens. Now I have 3 DSLRs, 1 645 film camera, about 5 Pentax film bodies and 40+ lenses. Oh, and I don't suffer from LBA or CBA...right!

The most common symptom of an addiction is denial. You are all very sick puppies, and I see little hope. Sigh! Reminds me of guys I've heard bragging they can drink to quarts of wisky a day.
I've seen Pacerr's lens shelf and have suggested him as a subject for that Horders program.
I have a total of five lenses, and I'm thinking of selling one of them, because I don't use it very often.

[blackcloudbrew]

Let me know when you do. I'll buy it...must...stop...must...stop...noooooooo

[Ron Kruger]

Incorragable.

I've seen Pacerr's lens shelf . . .

Nope, you only viewed about 60-percent of it actually! Someone has to preserve history least we forget where we've been, eh? Sort of the last bastion against the auto-everything heathens. The Great Wall of China.

(Ya can file that one away as excuse #3, David.  )
