Anyway, here's the mount end, Steve.
If you sold 2/3s of the crap in your gear list, you'd have that Hasselblad, Don.

Zuiko 70-300 F4.0-5.6

That's rich (pardon the pun) ... I wish I had that kind of investment. $41K is serious money. I'd have to own all-Canon glass to even get close (yes, you lucky Canon-owners know precisely what I refer to). I know, that's precisely why I abandoned their ship! 
Still ... I am trying to finger out why buying a MANUAL lens boils down to some kind of major mistake. Just who are you trying to convince?

Look, I did not create the optical laws of the Universe ... I simply learned to deal with them.
Remember: It is usually the GLASS, not the camera (except for moving to Full Frame), that gives you the most improvement in your photography.

BS. The same glass Sony offers in the same focal lengths is more expensive than the equivalent Canon glass in almost every instance. Tamron is usually inferior in some shape or form, whether it's focus speed, or IQ, or build or all of the above....The only thing you've gained by moving to Sony was the in body IS, and I took on your challenge and conquered that too.
It's not buying the manual glass necessarily, it's the buying multiples of mediocre glass that add up to more than the necessary funds to buy top quality stuff and then complaining you don't have the money to buy that expensive stuff.
I've said it before: You've already purchased fantastic glass, unfortunately you've just chosen to buy it in $200-400 increments of mediocre glass instead of going for the gusto. $200 here $200 there, 5 $200s = one nice piece of CZ or top quality Sony glass.
A good photograph is knowing where to stand.

i had the Hasselblad hd3..broke 3 times in 5 months...i told them to shove it the 3rd time

I'm not waiting for the build up ... if I want that lens, I will eventually buy it. I'm still not convinced it is worth the coin.
I would rather concentrate on acquiring a 400mm f/4.5, if anything. The economy has been brutal ... I need to become a pilot of something.

Wow ... that's not a good track record, Steve. What's the alternative ...?
Mamiya?

my sony ..
the hass was a bit overkill anyway

 what is in a number?
It certainly had its costs ... @ $21K for the body
That's quite a nice set up in SONY stuff, that's for sure. All the killer glass ...
70-400mm f/4-5.6 G SSM = $1600
70-200mm f/2.8 G SSM = $1800
24-70mm f/2.8 CZ = $1600
16-35mm f/2.8 CZ = $1900
135mm f/1.8 CZ = $1480
85mm f/1.4 CZ = $1370
Total (ding, ding, ding) = a wallet shredding $9,750 !!!
I think they give you free delivery with that, too. 
Toss in a pair of α900s @ $2700/ea = $5400
for a grande total of $15,150
