I should sell my ..... so I could .....

I must admit at the beginning of the year I sold two Pentax LX bodies, plus 28, 40, 50 and 100 mm plus winder, with the funds I bought my Fuji X-Pro 1 set up, I have no regrets except I should now change my name form LX mike to Fujifilm Mike
 
Haven't sold anything in years. Now having fun with my Fuji XE 1 (had to match my GS 645 and 690 after all). Looking for an adaptor to mount some of RB glass! Any suggestions out there?
 
Just sold my M9, 35 FLE, 90 apo asph and have up for sale my 24 Elmar and asph 50 Summilux and cfv39 Hasselblad back. I'm retiring and thinning out goodies to fund a new Jeep wrangler and some vintage Leica glass since I'm returning to more film.

I'm torn whether to sell my 75 Summilux 6 bit coded. I love it but not sure how it will fit in to the plan. I'm thinking of going back to vintage glass I had in the 60's. I want a 21 super angulon 3.4, either 35 non asph Summilux or non asph summicron, and 50 v2 or more likely v3 Summicron. I just picked up a 90 Elmarit V1 like I had in the 60's.

Looking back at images I concluded this is my favorite combination of glass that I've had.

What to do?
 
I think about selling the Monochrom & 50 Summilux and getting a 645z with a nice lens....
 
I have too many cameras and too many formats - as well as having both film and digital. I crave simplicity - until the next "must have" comes along.

That said, I've just traded my R4M, 21mm/f4 and 35mm/f1.2 for an X-E1, 18-55mm and 55-200mm. I actually lost very little £ on the deal as I bought my R4M etc. at reasonable prices to begin with.

Most of my 35mm shooting tends to be digital these days, though I won't get rid of all my 35mm (Nikon) bodies / lenses. I can see me keeping my F5 but selling FE, FM3A and F6. I will keep my Hassy 500c/m but I wouldn't miss my 500el/m. I have a Rolleiflex 2.8e which I love - but use little - and I'm just having an MPP Mk VIII refurbished ahead of the new Type 55 film becoming available in the New Year. At that point, I might have to let go of the Rollei.
 
I should sell my apartment so I could move to another neighborhood. Two kids shot and killed in front of the deli across the street from where I live, where I take my son for some cold drinks before we go to the playground on Sunday mornings. Luckily he and my wife were away this weekend visiting family. Too many shootings lately...
