GAS attack lightens wallet

[peterc]

I shouldn't be allowed near camera stores.
A nice little black Bessa R accosted me today and forced me to buy it. New in the box too.
My credit card is gonna hurt. :bang:

It lightened your wallet - but it's a trade-off - the seller's wallet got heavier! 😉

the world is in balance...🙂

Never let a little cash come between you and a cutie like Bessa. She will treat you nice.

And Peter will take better pics with that R than with his credit card. 🙂

hmmmm While I am still a noob on this forum, let me do all the questions...

What does GAS stand for?

Camera phones and the Credit card camera. Maybe we should patent that idea

Too late Rick - do a google on "credit card camera"!

And it costs less than a Bessa. :bang:

Credit cards. Love - hate relationship there.

I am impulsive and have been described as insane and obsessed with photography - the result is : my Discover card's fantastic balance. Last night, I bought a Yashica Electro 35 GS, somewhat on a whim. With the card.

where'd you buy that camera?

Henry's Outlet Centre on Queen St. It was an "open box" camera.
Downtown Camera, half a block away from Henry's, is a Voigtlander dealer.

Nice to hear, Peter! The R is a really nice cam and you'll enjoy it.

I'd been drooling over Bessas for a a while and this was just too good to pass up. It should look good with the black J8.

I look at it this way, so long as I get freaky flier miles with my card - I'm not really spending money - I'm "earning" my next trip out to Tucson! 😀

Yeah, but the kids playing hockey on the back are SO cool.
