Holy CRAP! I have just done an inventory of my LF gear for the insurace company...
I now have: a 90mm, three 135mm, three 150mm, SIX!!! 210mm, a 240mm and a 300mm
and those are just the ones that are worth mentioning to the insurance co...
Where the dickens did all these lenses come from? Seems like they must be breeding in the closet or something....how am I supposed to explain all this to my wife?
You're a collector.

"Explain to your wife?" Now that's a mistake...
No, no, no! I can't be! Anything but that!Originally Posted by John Kasaian
OK, Well, maybe...I'm wondering especially about all those 210's??!?!?!
What if I sell some? I tried once....but, I ended up just buying more....egad!
All those lenses are the result of GAS. Then you get in a situation like I'm in where you decide to get rid of a bunch of it and don't even remember where it came from!
That's not a collection, it's an accumulation.
I know this, since I have one myself.
I don't really know how many 210mm's I have - there's a Symmar, a Xenar, another Xenar (4.5 vs 6.1), an Angulon, a Tessar, a Dagor, a Collinear, a Protar VIIa, a Heliar, at least three Aplanats and a couple of Rapid Rectilinears, and...
It's an accumulation, not a collection. A collection is when you have one of every single 210mm ever made.
You have enough lenses, now you need a few more cameras!
Umph.
forgot a G-Claron, at least.
The current count of cameras is around 14, I believe.
I've five LF cameras...three that I use regularly and two that are kinda...well, not used as much.
Yep, you sound like a collector, Brad, er, I mean accumulator.
