Having sudden GAS over a camera you already own.

Probably my Rolleiflex. I use my Zeiss Ikonta more, because it's tiny, but the Rolleiflex has a real appeal which makes me want to force myself out to use it.
 
I get this with my Nikon F5. I put a roll or 2 through and then it sits unused for a while and then I'll read some thread or other about them and wish for an excuse to carry that big lump around! Same with my 2 Leicaflex SL's.
 
This happens more with lenses, for me. In particular my 90mm Elmar. It's always in my bag, just in case, but ill rarely take it out. Then suddenly I will take a portrait or two, or see others' photos using it, and I will start using it all the time. Its fleeting, though; a 90mm has its uses, but it's just not an everyday kinda lens, at least for me.

My favorite part of using it with my Barnack is that i have to use the VIOOH with it. I get some crazy looks when I'm out shooting with that combo. People think it's an antique gun!
 
To "Mister Forrest",you know it's a wee bit lame to say you don't have space to develop
a roll of film,those canisters and one shot chemicals don't take up that much space,do they? (or would you be talking about printing?)

I do film in my kitchen, then scan it.

For me, the camera that keeps getting me to pick it back up after long dormancy is probably my Kodak Medalist. I rarely shoot it, but when I do I do a spree!
