What interest me is, at what point does obsessively buying far more photographic equipment than one person can possibly use in a lifetime become mental illness?.

Not mental illness. I am corning the market on photographic equipment.

When you are crushed to death by a mountain of falling camera gear in the bathroom...

When the bank account dries up. Well then there’s credit.

I went to a hoarder-photographer estate sale about 2 years ago and found a shoebox FULL of credit cards in the basement with a box full of demand for payment notices next to it.

Guess they didn't get their money back...

So when one dies, they do not take the debt with them. Good to know. How back to hoarding . . . preventing hoarders from buying . . .

35mm
I didnt know which discussion to put it under so i put it under the 35mm forum but it can apply to any film camera. I only own 1, a Rolleiflex SL35. I dont need another.

(maybe ill get a range finder one day, i dunno)

After selling a dozen, losing several 35mm and 645's in a hurricane, I have 9 left! Is that too many?
