I've done something similar. I own (and plan on keeping) my 35mm, 28mm, and 20mm lenses. However, I used to also own the K 30/2.8 and the A 24/2.8, but I have since sold both, since I found that I just never seemed to use them. For me and my own idiosyncratic (and undoubtedly tragically flawed) shooting style, I really don't need a 30mm lens between the 35mm and 28mm FL's, or a 24mm lens between the 28mm and 20mm FL's (although the gap from 20mm to 28mm is a lot wider than is the gap from 28mm to 35mm).
