The reason I'm done:

[Michael I.]

ooh ooh ooh aaah aaah aaah says the monkey on my back

 

[FrankS]

you will not even fall for the latest dhaaaling of the gotta have camera craze,
the Nikon S2?

No. It won't help me take any better pictures, so no.

 

[back alley]

i'm pretty sure my nikon s2 is the key to being a better shooter!

honest.

I have to come clean and admit that I bought a second Rollei 35S last week that I really didn't need, but it was a great deal and not a lot of money.

Ummm... title of the thread is "The reason I'm done"... and then you add this admission of "un-doneness". Frank, Frank, Frank... please be honest with us... your NOT done; you're ALMOST DONE!

Good mantra, though; and good decision-making criteria - buy cameras only if it improves photographic results... or is cheap... or can be obtained without anyone noticing

 

[akptc]

Frank, have you tried the Contaxt G2 yet? Just asking...

Ha I knew it!

 

[clintock]

I was done until the contax G1 bit me. Now that I have the three essential lenses i'm done again.

Brian, I just wanted to get that small transgression off my chest. We are all imperfect.

I'm okay with that! If I had the power/authority of absolution I'd absolve you... but since I don't I might just have to emulate you. I have been lusting after a "new" lens for my LF camera.

 

[iml]

I'm done. Apart from the little matter of recently having sneaky thoughts about MF.

Damn.

Catholics are lucky - they can get their sins absolved. Buddhists have to take responsibility and live with their karma.

 

[sebastel]

is "being content" a sin?

Frank,
LOL. That's what we all say when we fall off the wagon. Do you need a hand getting back on?

[FrankS]

Just a small slip. I'm back on.

 

[Tuolumne]

Hang on tight. It's a bumpy ride around here.

No... just food for guilt.

When I read the name of this post I almost thought you were done with photography.

Anyway, I was thinking that I was going to be done after I got a reasonably fast LTM 35 but now that I have a Canon IV pc cord I am now bidding on flashes. I don't really use flashes, but you never know. I'll finish buying stuff too...One of these days.

Wasn't the idea to get done with this karma/sansara stuff?

 

[ChrisN]

There is not any piece of gear that I don't have that would allow me to take better pictures than I can already take with the gear I do have.

What's that got to do with it?
