If you had to sell one of these three which one would you sell?

Question

All lenses are for a pentax 6x7 MLU Medium Format Film camera. All lenses are manual focus.

Which one would you sell? and what would you use the other two for?

# SMC Pentax 67 lens LS 165mm 1:4 # 8525155
# SMC Pentax 67 lens 55mm 1:4 # 8527002
# Super-Multi-Coated Macro-Takumar/6x7 lens 1:4/135 # 8469031

Answer 1

It totally depends on the kind of work you shoot. If you're into wildlife or sports subjects I'd keep the longer lens, otherwise this is the one I'd get rid of. (Long telephotos tend to get the most use in paparazzi work, sports and animals.)

It's a personal thing but most pro photographers use wide and short lenses (up to moderate telephoto) much more than longer / sexier looking lenses, which are of limited use in smaller spaces. Your 55mm lens would therefore be of use indoors for interiors and candids for example, the 135mm would be good for headshots and portraiture.

Answer 2

Since all 3 have different uses I'd probably keep them all.
