I usually read through an entire thread before responding on fora, but this daunts me for now, so I'll refer to only the OP's post.
I have always been in favour of culling, culling and culling: cameras, lenses, films, accessories. The bare minimum. I was a 35 - 50 - 90mm man for the longest time. Never took but one lens / one body except on very rare occasions (two bodies with a lens each).
Recently I culled the 50, after years. It took me a long time of perseverance to understand that this focal lingth did nothing for me. The setup I am working towards is 21/24 - 35 - 75/90. I've used all focal lengths from 24 to 135 and in a year I shall be with my definitive kit of three lenses, but I shall always use only one lens at a time, my vision welded to its angle of view and perspective, whatever that might be.
If one and only one? 35!
