You maintain an equipment list to keep track of your lenses.

Your equipment list is organized by Series (S-M-C, SMC, K, M, A, F, FA, DA) then by prime/zoom, then by focal length.

Your third-party equipment lists are organized the same way.

——

On almost any lens discussion thread you can open a Reply, “I had that lens in . . . but I sold it. (True LBA sufferers can add, “Then I bought it again.”)

As to number 2… I swear it wasn’t all about the bokeh. Besides, I am going to sell some of the 28mm… maybe.

And as to brick walls… check out my last two Flickr postings here:

Andrew; spot on. I’ve been obsessing about the FA 50 f/1.4 cause of this one event coming up and I keep asking myself will I really use it after that???
Does my answer really matter?! I kinda had the go-ahead from my wife to get it… but I need to make sure it’s not a trap…

You’re on revision 34 (and counting) of your lens-buying roadmap even though you haven’t yet saved enough to buy a DSLR to put the lenses on.

Your lens-buying plans include over 75% of the current lenses for your chosen system, plus a few that you hope their R&D people are thinking about to fill in the gaps in the lineup.

You spend more time reading about, shopping for, and thinking about lenses than actually taking pictures. Of course it is easier to do these things late at night or when you should be working.

I’ve never really understood this LBA thing, TBH… I mean, apart from bundled kit zooms, I’ve only bought four lenses in the years 15+ years since I bought my first (film) SLR… Am I a freak…?

Still, I do seem to be strangely attracted to brick walls after a few beers, so maybe I’ll start showing more of the symptoms of LBA in later life…
