Quite the collection. But I am sure you make good use of them.
For 7+ years, I used only a Coolpix P510. The effective 24-1000 mm. range did everything, and still chugs along. Got my hummingbird photos with it this year.
I bypassed DSLR's entirely, and jumped to mirrorless when the bug to finally get a 20mm lens got to me. This worked out best for me.
Unlike you others, I did get that Hasselblad from a service buddy who worked in a camera shop. I was very young and very foolish and spent about a year's worth of service pay on the outfit. Fifty+ years later, I had a Governor go out and had it repaired, so I am back in business, along with the mirrorless.
Since I have the coolpix, despite the small sensor, it has the "reach" so I don't have to fret about long, expensive lenses. I am more of a wide angle person and sometimes flower person. Birds and wildfires and planes just show up. Not my "focus"
There is a world of difference between 20 and 24 equivalents. I get two mountain peaks in the same sunrise and cloud photos, and they frame them perfectly.
