I'm struggling with this now, as I am shrinking the kit. If I shrunk
completely down.......
My 'keeper' list will always be too long, but off the top of my head, I'd
say.
OM-4T (beater)
OM-1 & OM-2 (my original black bodies)
Covers all the bases, doesn't it?
MD1 with Nicad/Charger (yes, 1, not 2)
Winder 2
Who needs more?
BG2/T20/T32/F280
T8 or T10 (how to decide?)
Too many flashes. Do you keep the BG2? The T20?
Now for the tough part. Lenses. Want'em all.
Primes
21/2 (or 3.5, but I'm leaning to the 2)
28/2 (or 2.8, but again, I'm leaning fast)
50/1.8 mij or maybe the 50/1.4. What about the 50/1.2?
90/2 - of course, but what about the 85/2? The 100/2? The 100/2.8?
135/2.8
Zooms
35-70/3.5-4.5
35-80/2.8 (I can't give either one up)
50-250/5
Is that it? Maybe. So many choices. Do you keep the Tamron 80-200/2.8?
What about the 35-105. The 18/3.5. The 24/2.8. Long lenses? The 300/4.5.
The 400/6.3. What, no 200? Oh boy.
What to do, what to do. Particularly since my time is so limited now.....
Heck, just selling them with two auctions a week on ebay would take months.
