Question is, do you actually use what you already have...I mean enough to justify having them all. have you sat down and thought what you want to do with your photography...that will help you determine what you do & dont need...

i do use some more than others. but it's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. i didn't purchase them just to be purchasing, i have a thing for portraits, and if you view my lenses, you'll see i bought them accordingly.

No. That's just when the buying stops. And then the buy bug will be ever more resistant to your efforts of getting rid of it.
