i have 14 lenses for my 5 Pentax bodies, but 2 of them don't count as they are cheap kit lenses. another one is the M50/1.7 that i got with my MX in 1977 and it doesn't really count either. the 1Ds isn't fast enough to shoot small birds even on a 400/2.8 or a 600/4 and low light AF performance is so-so. i still intend to complete the collection of Limited and FA macros in Pentax, but i will probably sell the long lenses. for the foreseeable future, i will be shooting both Pentax and Canon, but each in its specialized domain.
