Oliver, there are three directions you can go.  The first is to analyze
which two lenses you use the most and keep those; I suspect it will be
35/90 or 28/50.  Second would be to sell your lenses and buy a Try-Elmar
which gives you a 28-35-50 in a light, handy, sharp enough package.(I own
one and use it extensively)  If money isn't really a problem then take the
third option which would be to sell everything and buy a Q or QII to gain
the advantage of even lighter, auto-focus and much better high ISO
performance: the Q over many of the new compact cameras out because it is a
very high performing camera and I am comparing it to the Sony and Panasonic
choices.

All the best.
