Nooo no no, I want a 4 lense kit! Though at the risk of raising hackles, I love the 65mm and hardly use the other two.

Perhaps my use of the idea of price is mistaken. I do think the difficulty of obtaining a replacement must be a factor that may well restrict its usage. Hypothesising a point where it's never taken out of the house is perhaps going too far.

You can't really use the 100 & 135 on the same body. You can, sort of, but no framelines.

I agree with that. Replacement is an issue. I worry about moving anywhere (I might move out of state to chase work) with the KM Multi Pro because I don't want to rattle it.
In the case of the 100mm, even though I basically filled my credit card to its max with that thing (and the scanner and stuff), and though there are only a handful of them left for sale on the planet (or less), I don't hesitate to bring it out and use it. In fact, I went out today and used it and the 45mm.
My only thing is, I will NEVER take it out without its filter on. I baby it, but I use it. No choice, seeing as i have only one camera and only one decently long lens for it.

Well, 135 on 6x4.5 is ~ 75 on 35mm. So get one of the Cosina 75mm finders, scale focus and be happy...

Bingo.
And if you get the 135, you'll have two very rare lenses. Someday, when you feel the need to only keep one - maybe a few years down the road - you can seel the other for a mint and buy something exotic.

Actually, my body has in fact got the 100mm framelines. It's not so bad.
