Is it me but do we have a problem here?

Toby, I absolutly needed the 35 so I mustn't constantly change between the 28 and 45 and it is perfectly clear that I needed a second G body so I mustn't constantly change between the 35 and 90.
Of cause I needed a TLA200 because it's the smallest zooming TTL flash and the BP-8 batterieholder to save on the expensive CR2 batteries and a TLA30 flash for the same purpose.
But that's too big to be carried everywhere and the Rollei 35TE has no rangefinder so a Contax T-VS is in order.
And everybody has a Zorki and the Kiev was just sitting in the showroom when I heard it saying "Volker, I'm lonely, release me from this showcase"

Everything perfectly normal! If I had more than six computers at home, then I'd be the first to admit that I have a problem.

Oh, wait, make that seven computers, I may win the 12" iBook on ebay 🙂
 
I became a rangefinder user because I wanted my pictures to contain more of myself and less whizz bang technology. Surely the most important part of any camera outfit is the person holding the camera. I am as guilty as anyone of saying "If only I bought X my photos would be better and I would be a better phographer". Unfortunately this isn't true I just have a heavier bag to carry and a dented bank balance. What I should have done is shot more and tested more. I'm not against having lots of equipment (I have a lot) but surely craft is the most important thing?


Oh and I bought a pentax optio S55 -It eats batteries at a truly frightening rate I got through Six AA's just working out how to use it! ( maybe I'm just slow)

You found us out, Toby. We are an international syndicate with operatives always on the lookout for equipment bargains around the globe. A $10 RC somewhere in Canada? A $15 Konica III at a swapmeet in the US? Porta 400UC is on sale at Target? We've got that covered. Agfa masquerading as Arista II? They can't fool us.

And you say ebay? We've got snipers on every timezone in the world.

So, welcome, and enjoy your stay. For if you are anything like us, "you can never leave... (Eagles)"

Dang, Brett. I exercise the shutters on mine and I wonder where the day went. 😉

But seriously, Toby. If you think that the members here are not dedicated to improving and enjoying their craft, then surely, you must not have been reading posts for too long.

then get a mirror, we all do it, sometimes in the bathroom, sometimes in a public bathroom in front of the toilet..... 😀 😀 😀

Zero feedback seller, I don't know, risky. I will send you a PM with the link.

Gotta keep this one under my sleeve guys. My bet is that it will go over my head, but you never know.
 
I'd still consider it if the seller gives you the option to pay with a credit card and it's a good deal

Toby, one nice thing about this place.. we're all gentlemen and gentlewomen in regards to not outbidding each other on auctions.. at least not knowingly
