I'm done, but ...

[FrankS]

I'm done, and I'm happy with the gear that I have, but sometimes something comes along, like on Craigslist, and I can't help myself. The seller said that he wasn't in it for the most money possible, he just wanted to find a good home for it. I've promised to send him a print made with this new camera.

$100

nice find... I tell myself that I'm done as well, but somehow I find myself on CL far too often... ;P

No self control. 🙂

Jesus, 100 bucks!! Why I never come across such luck >.<

I don't look. It's the only way to truly be "done".

I thought I was done as well, as I have 3 new (new to me) cameras to learn to use. Then last night I was rummaging around in a box of odds and ends and discovered a couple rolls of 120 film that was developed but never printed or scanned. So I fired up the scanner and BOOM what wonderful photos!!! They were pictures taken with my old Fuji G690 (sold long ago), now must find a Fuji GW690. Will this madness never end???

Or,,,, maybe a Fuji GA645 would be nice......

 

[johnny9fingers]

Sometimes you think you are done. But cats have 9 lives! Life won't be worth living without the toys!

I have what I need. However there are so many beautiful cameras and lenses out there, I´m tempted each time I see any old picture of any old camera. Same goes for watches, knives, Land Rovers, Fiats and other things of beauty. Luckily I´m poor, otherwise I´d be even poorer.

I think one appreciates these things more when one is poor. In my younger days, when I wanted something I would work silly to make the money to buy it. I am sure the fun would not be there if I was rich and could just buy anything I liked. I am not rich even now at much older age. But then I do not have many hobbies. My cameras are good but not too expensive.

It's a pity we don't have something like craigslist here. We just have ... well... the "BAY".

 

[FrankS]

We do have the RFF classifieds.

There's not much risk in experimenting or having some GAS fun with relatively low cost items - like the $100 Mamiya. For seriously expensive gear, more planning is required.

As long as one still has one finger, one eye and two legs...it's going to be hard to stop ;-)

There is one good-looking Leica CL with M-Rokkor 40mm on a local classified here in Bangkok. I know that I can't possibly need another M-system body...but oh well...

Not looking is NOT Self Control.....

Not looking is NOT Self Control.....

Self Control is Looking, Enjoying and Not Buying!!

I love to look at pretty ladies, but I have been done with them for almost a decade. I can even talk with them, but I am not intrigued.

Now... to do that with cameras and cars.??????

Thats a great price. I've just spent $800 buying several bodies, a lense and ,a bunch of backs and cutfilm holders. I now have a great Mamiya Press camera kit. I bought my first 12 years ago and just keep adding on backs and other accessories as they become available. Hope you enjoy your find.
