Your already on it .
Unfortunately it's easier to give in and buy more .
Resistance is futile .
Your already on it ."Should I buy another film camera?
With most people here I think it is can I resist buying another film camera?
I am still looking for the photographic version of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Cameras are cheaper than therapy.
Should the situation arise again, consider buying your "end game" camera! Mine has been:
Canon flagship
Nikon flagship
Leica R
"Barnack" Leica
Leica M
Hasselblad
Rolleiflex
Alpa
Then I discovered the perfect thing, the Kwanon:
View attachment 372290
There is a minor matter of none being known to exist, but pfft, trouble me not with technicalities.
Then I discovered the perfect thing
Back when film was inexpensive I would sometimes use 12 exp roll but even when I used 36 exposure roll I processed the film by the end of the day regardless of how many frames I shot. Today with the cost of film and processing I always use 36 exp roll and finish it up before I process. I can wait weeks or even months to finish the roll.
Guess I was too late to save you.Thanks everyone, I went ahead and got one.
Why on god's green earth would you ever want to save someone from buying a camera?Guess I was too late to save you.

They're not actually duplicates- each one has a different brassing pattern and is malfunctioning in slightly different ways...
They can still count as duplicates.
Not to mention a Leica!
PS: I would suggest a Linhof instead of a Deardorff...
Don't sell or trade away your present kit for a new format, you'll likely regret it.
I suggest you look for a Speed Graphic 4"x5" or, a 5"x7" and shoot that for awhile, using paper negatives when film is too expensive, for day to day shooting, especially in public, where you want folks to stop, watch you and ask questions, giving you the opportunity to shoot portraits, a true objective for your public use of the Graphic.
The trick will be to learn how to set-up the shot quickly for rapid documentary work and, the resulting photographic works.
Folks get impatient quickly, this the need to compose and shoot, in situ, which will sharpen your skills, hopefully getting good, fresh shots most any day.
IMO, it'll be a good "project" and good fun.
There is a Leica at the store I borrowed. I seriously considered finding one.... It was so nice to shoot with. the R4.... I can't; I can't; I should not....
At the store you borrowed?!
Wow , now that is GAS , you borrowed the whole store ???
I guess I could borrow the whole store. But not all at once.
Thanks everyone, I went ahead and got one.
