Deep breaths...say it ten times.....I will stop looking for another X that I don't need. I will stop lo....

Andy, get a grip on yourself. Take a deep breath and say to yourself, "I will control myself, I will only buy one more time then quit".

But then you see that Graflex, and think, hmm, It might be neat to have a pre-anniversary to join my Anniversary and Pacemaker... he only wants $200 and thats a nice lens on it... Plus it comes with those extra holders, they never hurt.

My go to excuse is "they ain't making any more of them!"

I went from no Polaroid Land Camera's to two in a weeks time. I am now up to 11 cameras total since August 2011.

Gas Attack.. Then Cured?? There is no cure! You have to learn how to live with it and keep it under control.. I was looking at a 35mm kit a few weeks ago and thought "wow.. this would be nice to have" then i realized that i have 3 of them already! Well.. to make a long story short I'm going back and forth emailing the seller to work out a price. Let the wife hold onto the checkbook and credit cards until you get it under control. There isnt a cure, you foolish young man

Reason why? Because the cameras aren't 3000$ per body. It *is* enjoyable...

Lenses on the other hand.....

Just tell her that you got at a swap meet or off Craig's list for $5 or $10. That way she will be even more patient with you. [Just passin' on one of the tricks of the trade. ]
