Are YOU an ADDICT?

[yankeedoll]

I can still just "window shop". Must be the practical accountant side of me.

I am more interested in using what I already have - my Oly 35RC ( & Shhhh! an SLR). And maybe borrow a few of greyhoundman's many neat cameras.

Although I did surprise him the other day when I told him I could aspire to a Leica M6!

oh doll, say it ain't so...!
a leica?

hold a canon p in your hand before you spend all that $$ on a leica m6.
the artist & the accountant will like it.

It's not an addiction. It's a disease.

I think I've got GAS even worse than I had imagined... I just bought a Fuji G645 on eBay (the one with the 60mm f/4 lens). I was trying to resist, but I really wanted to take a medium format camera with me to Florida in a couple of weeks and I wasn't sure I wanted to drag a TLR around and it had only had 5 rolls of film through it and it was super clean and cute and... well, I WANTED it, damnit! 🙂

I think I'm going to be selling a lot of cameras... soon.

I quit smoking and photography twenty five years ago. In the last week I have bought two rangefinders and a J9...I am not taking up smoking again, too expensive. 🙂

good choice 🙂

LOL, somehow that all sounds so familiar, Doug! Congrats on the new rig... It sounds like a GS645S, though there was also the later automated GA645 with the same lens. I too have a GS645S and it's really quite nifty lightweight compact that produces a very impressive neg! I took only that cam with me to Hawaii a couple years ago; great for travel. Hope and expect you'll get real fond of it...

It's the later GA645. Would've been nice to get the rangefinder version, but I just couldn't find one in good condition at a price I could afford/justify.

 

[jwcat]

Make that three RFs in the last week. Gotta ban myself from this place. 😱

 

[Doug]

It's a disease alright, JW! Doug I have to admit owning a GA645 as well, but mine is the wide version with 45mm lens. While larger than the GS, it's still sleek and easy to carry, and can be quicker to use. It also focuses closer, to 2.3 ft, which is handy, but I don't know if that is true of the 60mm lens model as well.

I think I'm not but I'm not sure...

I think I'm not but I'm not sure...

No I'm not.
Now there is :
Minolta Autocord CDS 2, Baby grey Rolleiflex, 3 Yashica 44, 2 Yashica 44 LM, Yashica LM, Yashicamat 124G, Rolleiflex Automat IV with Zeiss Opton Tessar, Salyut C, Zorki 1b export with 3 lenses, Kiev 2, 2 kiev IIIA with 5 lenses, Zenit S with 2 lenses, moskva 4, Voigtlander bessamatic deluxe with 3 lenses.
I could not carry all on the picture, because it hurts too much !

 

[jtzordon]

Not yet! I only have 1: the Canon GIII. I am looking on picking up a Yashica GSN in the near future; it'll probably stop there, right?

 

[back alley]

it'll probably stop there, right?

oh yeah, i'm sure it will...😉

welcome jt!

Wow, Marcel, that's a photo of a man with a problem! 🙂 And you must be very fond of TLRs...
