I don't need 20 EF lenses. In fact, this setup would suffice:
17-40/4 L
24-70/2.8 L
70-200/2.8 L IS II
100-400/4.5-5.6 L IS
24/3.5 L TS-E
35/1.4 L
50/1.2 L
85/1.2 L
100/2.8 macro
135/2 L
300/2.8 L IS
I can do with just 11 EF lenses. Of course, right now, I have none. Time to start building that kit, as it will take a very long time...
The 200/2 L IS was tempting to consider; the 500/4.5 L to a lesser extent...but these aren't really rational/practical for the sort of photography I do if were to already have a 300/2.8. It's going to be one or the other, and I think that the 300/2.8 plus the 135/2 is more versatile than 200/2 and 135/2. 400/4 DO IS is still kind of tempting, but impractical.
Man, someone has been reading "Lens Work III" a bit too much lately.
Some rare Canon glass: 50 f/1.0L WITH BOX!, 200 f/1.8L, 1200 f/5.6L
And since I've always wanted to try Zeiss glass, and since I'm collecting here: Carl Zeiss SLR Lens Set: Distagon 2,8/21, Distagon 2/28, Distagon 2/35, Planar 1,4/50, Planar 1,4/85

You'd probably be amazed at how good 500 f/4.5L is.
