George, as there is no limit (yet) on bodies, I would suggest you get more bodies before it gets too late. I see you have not yet got a .72 body. Have you got at titanium body? Have you got a non-TTL body? There are almost endless possibilities how you can combine black/chrome/titanium finishes with TTT/nonTTL and then .58/.72/.85 magnifications. If you want to get two new lenses in one month in spite of the limit imposed upon you, I suggest you get rid of your 15mm in the process, and then your actual number of lenses has not increase by more than one. Avoid letting your girlfriend getting to close to the lenses, this to avoid her noticing the upgrades.
