I think I evolved finally to the point of admiring the minimum enough 
equilibrium in my grear, all that bearing my current photo interests.
1. M6 + 50mm/2 'Cron (current) + Elmarit 90mm/2.8 (current) (just left 
with 28mm focal range to be filled up).
2. Large format is acomplished with field 4x5 camera (Shen-Hao) + 
150/5.6 Fujinon and 90mm/6.7 Grandagon-N II

The only addition I expect to round off my kit (aside of some good lens 
in 28mm) - a CLAed M3 to get most of my 90mm Elmarit job (say, 
portraiture), occasional 50mm and a backup to M6 in general.
The particular M3 is going to be shipped to get brought up to another 20 
years of reliability soon....
