As far as thinning the herd, I don't have nearly the collection you have and I am thinking about letting go of the stuff I don't use much.
Good points. Actually, I am thinking more about getting rid of some old Canon AE-1s, beat-up F-1s, Canon FD/FL lenses, Pentax 645 that duplicates a newer Pentax 645N, some of the Pentax 645 A lenses where I also have the equivalent focal length in FA or D FA versions,, some old flashes, some old Minolta lenses, andmaybe some other old stuff that I never use. Who really needs 10 50mm lenses? Why should anyone harbor 7 different 135mm lenses when none of them are particularly distinguished? Do I really need a pocketable Canon G-12 camera with flash and extra batteries? Maybe I could let the Pentax K-01, K-7, and K-20 cameras. If I could get rid of all this stuff, maybe I could finance the acquisition of the Pentax-D FA 35mm or something real special from Zeiss!
