I do, but I won't buy many things for a while now...
List: (in order of priority)
Canon 35/2 EF (standard & AF for my XSi, to replace my way overlapped 50/1.4)
Canon FD T-S 35/2.8 SSC (already modded if possible)
Tokina 12-24 (only needed in a few years, for my 2nd Eurotrip)
half-dreaming: Zuiko 18/3.5 (after getting a FF DSLR)
That should cover the whole range I need. Also, I read about that Coastal Optics 60/4 on Diglloyd's blog and its a total beast. It looks like an absolutely flawless lens (well, aside from price point )
(Current Lineup: Just a Canon 50/1.4 and Kit Lens )
I actually don't really want anymore lenses since I don't really use anything too long, but if I had to make a wish list, I guess it would look something like:
Contax 85/1.4 or FD 85/1.2 L
FD 135/2
I really want to try other older film cameras and rangefinders (both 35mm and MF), like an FM3a, Bessa R4a, Mamiya 645 or Hasselblad 501cm.
What I really want is a scanner so I can edit my negatives...
I suppose it should really br broken into a need list and a lust list.
Either way I wont be purchasing many lenses for QUITE a while now...
Surprisingly the top looks something like this:
70-200/2.8L non-IS (to replace or complement my f4L)
28-70/2.8L
21/2 Zuiko
35L
50/1.4 Contax N
Sigma 400/5.6 APO AF or FD 400/4.5 SSC or FD 300/4L/2.8L
FD 35/2.8 TS
24 TS-E II

I have a ridiculously long six year plan of buying and upgrading lenses. I get three or four lenses a year and the plan includes upgrades. I will give you just my plan for the rest of this year and the next two years. 2009- A fast 35mm--I am still deciding which one and I have a thread on than now. 2010 - Zeiss 35-70 f/3.4, Canon 85mm f/1.8; Leica 60mm f/2.8 macro. 2011 - Early in 2011 I plan to get a 5D Mk II, Canon 70-200 f/4L IS, ZE 21mm f/2.8, upgrade my Leica 90mm f/2 (non-AA) to a Leica 80mm f/1.4, upgrade my CZJ 135mm f/3.5 and sell the Canon 85mm f/1.8 to get a Canon 135mm f/2L.
Hmmm, I'll play. I already have half of the lenses, I have ever wanted/ needed. I have not done much research, into alternative lenses, thus this list is all Canon... EXCEPT for my Dream setup, which one day, I MIGHT be able to afford. I primarily shoot: Sports & Events, Architecture, Landscapes, & Portraits.
Primes
35L or similar
50L (1.2)
58 1.2 Rokkor either in original SR or converted to EOS
85 1.4 Samyang/Rokinon or 85 1.2L
TS-e in 24 or 45mm
Lensbaby Composer
If you're talking about a serious wish list here mine is, in order:
EF 300mm f/4L IS USM (with 1.4x extender)
EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM macro
EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM
I dream about:
EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM
EF 500mm f/4L IS USM
EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM

I am concentrating more on lens collection contraction than addition. Trying to whittle down the collection to only those lens and cameras that will get regular use in the future. I find I am shooting more Tilt Shifts, APO, and Alts
