I wonder whether I am the only one that have this feeling:

IF I were rich, I'd proberly be a collector of lenses (and cameras..)

But what lenses to collect?

I have a weakness for names on lenses! Great names, that sounds good when you mention them. it's like one can taste the words....

Pinkham&Smith (strong, very american sounding)
Nicola Perscheid
Dallmeyer (I love the sound of that name)

Darlot
Jamin
Derogy
Hermagis
Lerebourg et secretain

(have to be pronounced as french sounding as possible..)

Taylor, Taylor and Hobson (Sounds like a big law firm)
Cooke (short, and to the point)

Oscar Zwierzina

..and proberly a lot more..

Good thing I am not wealthy...
