The GAS confessional - all who suffer are welcome. :)

It's very fortunate for my bank balance that there are no R5s in stock anywhere....

I bought yet another camera bag from the show.
Yet another Vanguard - Alta Sky 53.
£249 on the Vanguard website
£199 on the WEX website
20% Vanguard promo code = £160 :banana:

I'm sure I didn't need another bag but I couldn't pass this up
GAS at its best - or worst

Your gear needs protection after all....

b****r. Somehow I’ve got a Leica Q2 in my head. I know very well I don’t need or afford it.

For some reason a mono Leica really appeals since I'm doing so much in mono at the moment, but that would be a really stupid, self-limiting to buy. :rolleyes:

So, any rain induced GAS confessions this afternoon?

I spent an hour during the night very thoroughly researching the Contax G2!
en.wikipedia.org

Contax G - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org
Why? I have sworn never to return to 35mm film photography and yet it still bugs me. So no confession regarding purchase just lust!
 
Only 3 bodies? I've got 3 Fuji bodies alone. 2 or 3 Nikon DSLRs and 2 1 series. Not so many lenses though!
 
Presently getting GAS for a house in Italy (HOW MUCH???!) and wondering if it would be possible to give up the day job & move.

Well, that's not entirely true, but if wishes were fishes I'd have a netfull.
 
G'day from downunder.

Last year had to yield to gas when ex-pro posted whole heap of gear for sale on Gumtree classifieds , some items had been on my bucket list for years , large-format film and developing stuff .

Funny as I’ve spent about a week doing the same although I thing the G1 would suffice, especially at the price point. That with the 28mm lens would be an excellent setup.

Honestly not me, he is a Pentax man and :canon:.
The most lenses I have ever owned at any one time is 6. What I am guilty of is buying, trying and then selling. Does that count as GAS:thinking:
Click to expand...
Yes.. repetitive, recurrent gas!
 
Confession time, today I bought a light box from Amazon and an automated macro rail on here.
My wife gently reminded me that just a month ago I told her that I had all the gear I needed for the foreseeable future :LOL:

Tell her to try looking through your glasses! :LOL:
 
Summicron 35mm is in my head. Problem is I’d need to move all my Fujifilm gear to fund it. It’s a tough call at present. :banghead:
