Boris, if it helps, I believe the way to go is to hang on to your FF lenses as long as you have a camera that needs them. I still occasionally use my MZ-S (and other earlier cameras too), so I've kept a range of lenses from an 18-35 zoom to a 500mm long-focus which will cover all my needs there - and a few screw-mount for the Spotties and SV too, though not with the same range of focal lengths. But, and principally because I'm going on a three-week overseas trip where carrying a lot of gear is impractical, I've just bought a DA16-45 and a DA50-200, which will be my travelling kit, along with the *istD an M50/1.7 for low-light stuff. That's it - I'm reasonably sure I will have enough coverage and sufficient quality that I won't regret not humping a great range of kit with me! So for both film and digital, I will have dedicated gear, but with the possibility of cross-over where needed/desirable.
Incidentally, it must be some sort of tribute to the DA16-45 that the MTF program line in the *istD always chooses maximum aperture where it can: must have been designed to be used mainly wide open!
