My bag has become a hybrid

long ago my first kit was a k1000 film camera with a 28/50/70-300
then i went digital and started with a k10 and a 10-20/17-70/50-200

But about 2 years ago, I went on a "prime spree" with the intention of shooting all of my landscapes with an prime lens.
I bought a 15, 28, 35, 50 and 135 to go with a Bigma (for critters)
then i realized i needed a 20, 43, 70, 77 and 100 to cover all bases
well 2 things happened: My credit limits ran out and space in my bag ran out

I still have the primes, but i don't carry them around anymore because i really got tired of changing lenses in the field (read while balanced precariously on a rock in the middle of a stream or leaning over the edge of a ledge!) to get diff perscpectives of same subject. often times its impossible to pick up my tripod and move to recompose so i have swapped out the 28/35/50/135 for a 20-35 & da40 and da*50-135. Now basically 4 lenses cover the 15-135mm focal length for me instead of 8-10 if i had tried to stay all prime
