No Time to Shoot. Obsessing on Gear!

[dazedgonebye]

HELP!

I hate when my schedule keeps me from burning any film. I start obsessing on gear.
Right now I'm trying to figure out what 4x5 or 6x9 system would make me happy.
Fotoman anyone?

I'm ready for the 12 step GAS program. This is just too ridiculous.

Convert an old camera to a pinhole or something. It's like a nicotine patch - calms the gear pangs without hurting the pocket. Worked for me, and it used to get me shooting too.

yes gotta love the pinholes... if u really want to test your stuff, google DIRKON and make one from scratch hehehe... that was a fun assignment in Photo Class...

If you have no time to shoot, you don't need any gear?

Look around at used Horseman and Linhof outfits. There are some bargain outfits around, especially in Horseman.

Here are a few from it...
These were taken with a .35mm hole I had laying around. I've since replaced that with a .30mm hole...still not ideal, but better for that 42mm fl.

One in the desert.

Two shooting in to the sun. I kinda like pinhole glare.

I don't know if this constitutes a bargain...but this VH-R kit would make me very happy.

Or, how about this 4 lens Pentax 67 kit? That one looks very tempting for the price.
