Welcome, and don't worry, my riches are somewhat exaggerated and spent quickly enough!
As regards LBA, there is no known cure. Thankfully...

Thanks for welcoming me everyone. Looks like a pleasant and interesting future in this forum.
Just a short impression of some of my latest shots, so you know my favorite style and what my K-5 + limiteds will be mainly used for in the future:
Still much to learn concerning the artistic part of photography, much harder than the technical side.
Will also post in the gallery as soon as I evaluate something worth showing from my Pentax stuff.
Greetings

I guess you are absolutely right. Let's see how long I can remember your advice... I think you have enough lenses, you now need to spend your money on taking photographs!!!

John Riley invited me to join this Pentax forum after I made him a rich man on ebay...
So here I am.
I bought a K-5 some months ago, together with the DA 21 + DA 70. Actually as a prime shooter this step was just a matter of time, that finally happended.
Shortly after, I also bought the DA 35 + FA 43. Together with an "old" 50mm f/1.2 I had lying around (yes, it's not a limited, but well, there are no small f/1.2 lenses out there), this setup should satisfy me for quite some time.
Reason for this lens choice were compactness (love pancakes), high quality glass and build quality. In addition this specific setup very nicely fits my shooting style, of course, which mainly consists of stills, one or the other way. I always enjoyed picking one or two small lenses depending on subjects or mood and having fun with them. Today the 21 + 43, tomorrow the 35 alone and on the next day, well who knows...?
Right now, I don't think I personally would gain much with any of the other limiteds added to my setup. The 43 for available light, the 35 for close-ups, my old and heavy 50 for very shallow depth of field and the 21 + 70 for the "extreme" ends of my most used focal lengths.
So my short period of LBA might be over. But who knows for sure - can LBA ever really be overcome? Am I just fooling myself?
