I'm happy to announce that I won over GAS, at least for this time !!
I've been dreaming of a third large format lens, that should be about 300mm in focal, light enough to keep my Tachihara happy, cover 8x10 (just in case I'm tempted in the coming years
Of course, when I finally managed to get the money for this, one showed up at a shop for a price that seems fair. But in the same time a Leica M3 also apperaed on my radar, offered with a lens (OK, a Jupiter 3) for almost the same price.
I've had some hard days but I made up my mind today and immediately ran to the shop to get the Fuji 300/8,5 C !!!
So I consider I won over GAS, since this was a planned acquisition, which complements my 4x5 kit.
The lens looks like a gem, I'd rate it EX+++ (the only missing thing is the box, no scratches or cleaning marks !).
