What Jack Flesher said....
I've become tired of the mental paralysis I go through deciding which lens to take with me - and your list is several times longer than mine. This summer I started downsizing by selling selected gear (and not replacing it with more) and am finding out that I seem to be in a happier place. In the middle of your post you expressed that you'd like to move to Leica, and I think this is really the backstory and I'd be happy for you if you get there. So how about starting your Leica system a single purchase at a time rather than all of it at once? Appreciate the opportunity to offer my thoughts...
Good luck.
Thanks! .ore likely than not, if I go Leica, I'm going to have to start with used equipment because I definitely don't have the $30,000+ to start off new.
Funny somewhat related story. Several years ago I planned a road trip from Florida to New Mexico. I spent weeks overthinking what gear I would take with me. On my first overnight stop, I reached for one of my camera bags and it was empty! I had packed my camera bags, but forgot to pack cameras an lenses in them!! All I had was a spare beater D200 with an AF-D 24mm f2.8 prime that I always carried in the trunk of my car. For the rest of the 3 week trip that was the only camera and lens I had at my disposal. I did get some nice shots, mostly because Taos and Santa Fe are beautiful, but there were so many shots I missed due to not having the right equipment!
