Not nearly enough. SM58, SM57, D112, 2 Realistic crap mics, Realistic PZM, MXL 990 and 991, crappy Sony electret condenser, and occasionally a borrowed beta 58. next on my list is a ribbon mic, though i havent decided which yet, followed by either a darker MXL (is it V67? or the 960 tube mic) or something else.
 
a modest collection, mostly ldc's - blue bluebird, karma k-58 tube, (2) karma k-6's ribbons, (2) rode nt1000's, rode nt4 stereo, audix i-5, (2) karma k-micros, and, in canada being modded, a nady tcm1100.

OK...

Shure Unisphere B (2) (old dynamic)
Shure SM57
Shure SM81 (2)
Shure Beta 87C
Shure SM63 (omni dynamic)
Oktava MK-319, unmodified
Oktava MK-319 with Oktavamod Floating Dome + PE
EV RE10
AKG D80
seven or eight other old crappy dynamics, hi-z's, etc.

I'm a newbie retread - the last time I did much home recording was in the late 80's/early 90's with one of those Unispheres and an original 8-bit Soundblaster, and Win 3.0 (then 3.1) - [ http://www.myspace.com/melvinchuckwagon, if you dare]. I'm just getting back into it now, and haven't done too much with the other mics (except the 2 SM-81s, a bit - I like those).

I just got the Oktavamod back from Mr. Joly, and haven't had a chance to test it much, except that I could quickly tell that it was now of a profoundly higher quality than what I sent (which wasn't at the top of the QA curve). I've used the other MK-319 to record my daughter and her friend, but the unfavorable recording conditions in my house led us to use the Beta 87C instead, because it didn't pick up as much room noise, and sounded pretty good.
