Collective noun: a Stash, an Arsenal or a Hoard of Lenses?
  • goannagoanna

    I envy those who have a set of lenses. Mine are more like a clutter. I might even have to admit to having accumulated "an embarrassment of lenses".

    When I stack my most used ones together they look like a small city CBD. I would prefer a CBD of lenses to my current full postcode of lenses with its outlying trashy suburbs.

    OK, so we've got a Murder of Crows, a Huddle of Lawyers, a Splatch of Brochures on a hotel-room sideboard...

    What's an appropriate collective noun for a group of lenses?

    I just call mine "my arsenal" or "artillery" because in a sense, we "shoot" things

    "Stash" of Lenses, as in Lens Addiction.

    As Carlin would say - all the lenses are male toys and are made to look like dick.
    So, it is just "dick-fest"
    Btw, average lens length in collection is always in reverse proportion to actual dick length.
    Note, we have many pancakes owners here :-)

    I know a female journalist who has her own Manhattan of lenses.

    Dr Freud would certainly have a term for all those women with a preference for the big zoom lens. ;-)

    What about a guy with a mirror lens?

    In German "dick" means "fat" ;-)

    If you've got Nokton, Zeiss, Leica and Samyang Cine, how about:

    A bevy of lenses.

  • ahblezaahbleza

    My selection: a "sharpness" of lenses.

    @Vitaliy "Note, we have many pancakes owners here :-)"

    Come up and see my lens cap lens, baby. :-) It's even got a pinhole....
