I'm in the shopping mall now with money buying a hole in my pocket. So far I've looked at a Sony RX100 V, a Nikon 35mm 1.8G ED and a power bank for the one time in my life I've ever allowed myself to run out of battery.

I came for coffee to calm down but realised I've now had four cups before 11am and my GAS is now worse....:eek:
 
Well, it would be rude to leave without at least the 35mm after all of that!

You say that James, but what happens if my battery dies during the 5 minutes walk home? The power bank is surely a must!!!

Are holes expensive??? ;)

I have a mk1 sony rx100, it does get some use and it does produce nice enough images ... but it doesn't get as much use as I thought it would.

I have a few "GAS" issues too just now ... I've always wanted a Coolpix A and/or a DF - I quite fancy a DF with a 35mm on the front but it is not exactly a pocketable camera, that is where the Coolpix A comes ... oh, and then there is the 105mm f1.4 ....(and the 58 f1.4 but I won't mention that)

I have that 58.....yeah, that was a GAS purchase too :D
 
A spare battery rather than a power bank. Nod's law would mean that if I had the power bank in my pocket and ran out of battery, the required lead would be at home! Only 2 of my cameras can be charged using a power bank anyway.

Assuming this is for your camera ... as you have run out once, I doubt that you will let it happen again so I'd ditch this as an idea. Buying an extra battery may be a better option IDK ...
 
That much coffee will give you the runs, never mind GAS :D

I'm satisfying mine by looking at ancient manual lenses and adapters.
 
Just tell yourself that you will come back and buy it the following day. I find that this helps a lot and I end up forgetting all about it. It just shows that I didn't really want the damn thing to start with.

I've got some good news on that front.

Thanks to the support I received here on this very thread I ended up in starbucks (fizzy water, no more coffee) and ended up finding a used 35mm in tip top condition for sale a few miles away from me. Saving me about £100 on the retail price, with warranty. Just waiting for a call back from the chap when he gets out of his meeting.

G.A.S satisfied, money saved. Thanks TP!
 
I'm a bit late now, but next time you have GAS stop messing about and get the 200mm f2 :D
 
I've had a bad dose of GAS lately, a 300mm f4, 85mm art and looking at camera bodies now. Ouch
