And here's another question for you--how many lenses do you WANT to own?

I'll answer, at the risk of offending Dan S. with more of my verbosity <g>:
two. What I want is to own nothing more than I use, and to carry everything
I own. I'm very aware of the ideal kit for me: a 40mm f/2 and an 85mm f/2. I
got used to the 40mm focal length using the CLE and the old Olympus
"pancake" (not really a pancake) 40mm, and for me it's perfect--wide enough
but not too wide. 

More generically, any moderate-speed, moderate-wide-angle normal lens paired
with a moderate tele for portraits.

When I'm feeling ascetic--as if two lenses is decadent <g>--I substitute one
50mm for both of them. That's what I've been mostly doing in recent years.
