As an IT guy with a photography hobby and a Lumix S5 with a Lumix S 24-105mm/4 lens 90% of the time in my backpack (the other 10% of the time I have a Sigma 100-400mm lens mounted on my S5), this does indeed make me jealous...
I really like the idea of a photography collective. I've yet to achieve that but in the meanttime, my friends and I have just shared lenses with each other. Works great if you live in the same city and if not, mailing lenses isn't super expensive.
