Back in the days if you wanted to consolidate your lens collection or even if in that moment you wanted to get rid of a lense you were not using much, you knew you could always buy it again a few years later if you needed to. Now that EF lenses are no longer being made, would you sell the lenses that you do not use much right now knowing you may never get them back down the line if you ever wanted them again? Just curious everybody's take on this.

I have built up a decent size collection of EF lenses over the years and recently purchased the R6. Thankfully all my EF lenses are as good or better on the R6 than they are on a DSLR. I have a few lenses I do not use too often, but I keep them anyway. That being said, I have no problem selling lenses I know I will likely never use. Two reasons for this, any money from the sale could go towards equipment I would use more often, also would rather see someone putting them to use as opposed to them sitting in a cabinet in my man cave.
