Yep, The List made me do it.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

I too made do with an OM-10 with adapter, Winder 2, T-20, 50/1.8, 28/3.5
and 75-150/4 for 18 years.  Sold all of that recently except for the winder
and T-20.  Now I have . . . well not quite as much as Tom . . . but it
fills two camera bags to bulging and one of them is not exactly small . . .
and there is yet a third camera bag with medium format and classic vintage
equipment.

Yep, The List made me do it!
