I realized that the problem with that is finding time to actually use it all.
Then I resolved to sell the least used items, and managed to sell some of that lot.
Then I realized that I have a deep emotional connection to stuff I almost never use.
I am in existential crisis.
(Anyone want to buy a really, really nice Mamiya 645 system? Hurry, before I change my mind.)
What is all included and what is your price? I might be interested! Possibly
I sold a trendy digital camera to a good friend last week. XPro3 and all my Fuji glass. Never been so happy, both of us. 
Now I can keep up with my Nikon Ai-s GAS

Yah. Digital has always been nothing more than a reckless snapshooting convenience for me, even when shooting with my Nikon D2x.
Only film makes me feel like I am doing something serious and worthwhile.
One does reach a point when, after experiencing and acting on GAS, that one does not get tempted by GAS. After I obtained all the Hasselblad lenses that I wanted, I am no longer tempted by other Hasselblad lenses. For example the Makro-Planar f/4 120 mm when offered does not move me in the least. Even the Makro-Planar f/5.6 135 mm with a variable length extension tube does not tempt me. So the lesson learned, if one gives in to GAS completely, the GAS does go away.
I do not have a digital camera, iPhones do not count for this discussion, and I feel the same way. There are many more that strongly prefer digital over film. Whatever floats ones boat so that one can sleep at night. All is good.
I feel much the same way, but every now and then I see something in digital that makes me surprise myself. So good work is certainly possible, I just don't have enough lifetimes to master this medium.
My observation is that digital forces me to think differently in three dimensions:
- It's color not monochrome. Yes, I know you can desaturate, but digital is an innately color process.
- It acts a lot more like color transparency film than negative films, particularly as regards to exposure control.
- When I shoot monochrome film, I am trying to anticipate what the result will look like on silver paper - a reflective surface. With digital, I am trying to anticipate what an image will look like on a screen - a transmissive surface.
I am saving my serious digital exploration for the age when I can no longer hump around a backpack full of camera, lenses, and sheetfilm holders and/or cannot stand for 5 hours in the darkroom ...
I think what you are trying to say is that one does eventually run out of GAS ...
Yes, but after that I can still drive around.
I don't seem to run out of GAS. I will when I'm broke.
