I feel the need to trim down my kit. This just isn't like GAS at all and it ain't fun!
Since I bought my Bessa R, CV35/2.5 and Nokton, I have got use out of some MF kit which arrived at a similar time. As I tend to go for landscape/scenic work, the Bessa doesn't get out much. I also now fail to use my Ricoh GR1v much as this was my secondary camera always loaded with colour slide film. My photographic club has now dropped slides in favour of a digiprojector (with a resolution of 1024x768, would you believe, and they call it progress 😕 ) This mint kit might be difficult to replace, if I try to replace them in the future.

Is this a recognisable part of GAS? Is it no more than guilt? When looking at what I wanted to part with, the Bessa came before my best FSU cams, how weird is that?

not that wierd. When the decision is not one of practicality (ie. all are equally impractical, and with about the same amount of use) then it falls on the camera's character. The bessa is a great tool, but has none of the character of the FSU's.
