Kelly, this is excellent advice - advice I've been giving myself since I began photography in '78. Unfortunately - I've never heeded it .
Aside from an M50/1.7 and M 80-200 - I still have every lens (all bought new) I've ever owned.
My "digital" collection: DA 10-17, DA 16-45, DA 50-200, DA 18-250, DA 21, 40 and 70, FA 35, DFA 100 Macro.
My "legacy" collection: M 20/4, M 28/3.5, K 28/2, M 50/1.4, FA 50/1.4, A* 85/1.4, M 135/3.5, cheap Tak K 135/2.5, M 200/4, K300/4. Also, A 35-70 (?), A 28-135, a two or three boom-box-silver cheapo F zooms, the focal length ranges I don't recall off hand.
While I can take solace from the fact that others have a more serious case of LBA than I do, I still need psychological counciling . . . .
But I like your answer - "Get it."
