Collecting Pics Of Lenses. Care to Contribute?

So lately I've developed what some may consider an odd hobby. I've been collecting pictures of peoples lenses from the internet. I even google the lenses, and save the pics. Then I organize them by lens focal length, and make in various files. I enjoy looking at them, and creating desktop backgrounds out of them. I swear I'm not insane...

Anyway, I thought it'd be cool if we had a thread where people could post pics of their lenses. Not sure if it's been done before, but here's my contribution!

My love, my baby;

17-40mm f/4L

Testing my new 580EX and graduated photopaper. Works like a charm.

Here's two, one of my 10D with the 50mm f1.8 MkI attached and the other with the 85mm f1.8...

Arrrgh. Underexpose your black lenses by 2/3, a grey 17-40L indeed!

you said you take them off the web - so,
you may want to try the canon museum lens section
http://www.canon.com …m/camera/lens/f​_lens.html
they have photos of most of the range of lenses
also of course off the main website
http://www.canon-europe.com …5200&SourcePage​ID=26112#2

under various categories

This hobby you have is a little...odd.
But it is harmless and makes you happy so i'll join in.

Hangon-you're not doing anything kinky with these pics are you??!!!

Joke,LOL

I regularly sell on ebay and get quite fussy with the images i include.I kept some of the better pics -if they interest you i'll email them as there are too many to post here.
They include: EF100-300/5.6L, EF100-300usm,EF35-70,tamron 28-300 XR,Sigma 28-300,tamron,70-300LD(silver),Sigma 100-300DL(silver) and a few older lenses,inluding manual focus tele's

This image is an early attempt.I've since learned how to remove variable colour casts.It's an interesting challenge.

So many beautiful lenses.

Haha, buster, that pic of the guy with all that gear is hilarious! I'm amazed he hasn't fallen over yet, and look at how raggety all his gear is. All covered in deep scratches and duck tape. The sign of a true pro eh?:p Oh, and nice 300! I saw that one a while back and saved it.

Here's a pic of all three of my big baby's. I made sure the 17-40 was nice and black just for you foxbat.
