I have too many 50mm lenses. Do you too?

Yeah, the Canon 50mm 1.4 is The lens I tell myself I'd have to sell for the VC 1.5. Can't bring myself to do it as the 1.4 produces great results. And I don't use it enough as is.
 
And here I'm feeling guilty about having so many cameras that aren't getting used, thinking there is someone out there that would appreciate having one of them.

My list of 50's, more than some, modest amount when reviewing the number of 50's others have listed.

Ernst Leitz Wetzlar Summitar 5 cm f/2
Leica Summilux-M 50mm f1.4 ASPH
Voigtlander Nokton Asph 50mm f1.5
Zeiss C Sonnar T* 50mm f1.5 ZM
 
i try to pair it to a specific body
especially if i find the RF alignment
is spot on.

Elmar 50/f2.8 -> IIIf
Summilux 50 black -> Black M3
Summicron 50 V4 -> Black M6 TTL
Summicorn 50 V3 -> Black M5
Canon 50 f1.5 -> Silver M4
Zeiss Opton Sonnar 50 f1.4 with Amedeo -> M2
Nikkor 50 f1.4 with Amedeo -> M6 Silver
Nikkor 50 f2 ltm -> M9-P (great for closing focusing down to 0.3m)

Unallocated: Summarit 50 f1.5 and Collapsible 50 v1

I shoot on average a roll a day, so I don't feel too bad about GAS.
 
I'm a total lightweight.
Leica Summicron Collapsible
Carl Zeiss Sonnar 1.5 (Amedeo)

I'm doing tests to shake it down to one. Same with my two 35mm lenses.
