GAS attack...then cured, GAS attack...then cured....

Good gosh, I am in recovery now and resisting! Anoyone coping or I in the wrong forum? Maybe I need to join a gardening forum and they can tell me to kick my analog habit to the curb so I can get better....paving bricks...

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.

 

[Sirius Glass]

This last lens will be different and enough for now.

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.

Why on Earth do I need an Ilford Titan pinhole, when I have a perfectly good 5x4" Field camera and set of lenses?

Blast, too late, I already pressed the 'confirm' button....

If it gives you joy, why fight it?

Marc!

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

Want:

Hassleblad Flexbody
Alpa 11 half frame rangefinder

Why:

They look cool

 

[clayne]

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

Lenses on the other hand.....

OK, i give up, what does GAS stand for?

 

[zsas]

Gear acquisition syndrome

Tis fun to keep in check, or not...he

 

[summicron1]

ok, don't tell my wife -- not that she doesn't know. We have cameras the way some people have mice....i have the most patient wife on the planet.

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. ]

I'm unemployed, so my GAS has stop for a while.
