Please note that this list is not, and is not intended to be current at the time of this comment, or whenever you’re reading this page. I’m not going to update this page for every new addition, the manufacturers do that on their own sites.

While trying to decide what camera to buy after selling Sony A200 (for various reasons, don’t worry it’s not a bad camera!), I narrowed it down to the Canon 50D or the Nikon D90. When asking for advice it often came up that Canon had a larger selection of lenses. However nobody ever quantified it. So I’m going to. Canon has 91 lens like devices to Nikons 66; at-least as far as I can tell from their USA websites at this time. I say “lens like” because I included converters. That’s 38% more. There is a possible problem here, it seems some lenses have multiple versions which get counted as multiple lenses sometimes and not others, if you’d care to sort that out for me, let me know how I should do it. But for now, here are lists.
