It can be tough at first. But then it hits you; that you've got some damn good stuff and as someone recently posted, keep that stuff - especially the real good ones - if you are buying a new 50 summicron, or other keep it! And love it. I weigh it out. If I can get better Leica I'll sell what usually sits around. Then at least you do love what sits around. replenishing stock is healthy. If you can afford it, keep that old one and so on. But I'd rather have two goodies than four baddies. But if you know you're not going to put money into it (for instance the older 180/2.8 I have but rarely use now but my priorities would not have me buy the new apo so I keep it so at least I'm covered in that range.) - hang on to it. I guess good advice is buy and keep all you can! That's what everyone else around here is doing! No? Shmu (derr...tsl)
