level of contentment

[denishr]

I already have more cameras than I can shoot. Some are gathering dust. (...sigh...)
Still, I'm always on the lookout for smaller stuff - lens caps, hoods, filters, light meters, and other accessories....
And, of course, if anything comes along with a good price... 😉

Mostly satisfied. I have no real needs just wants and will buy if it is cheap enough or weird enough . Like Denis says there is always the smaller stuff that keeps calling too.

Thinking about it:

I could never think of checking the "Completely Satisfied" column until I own a "Canon P". The L1, although rare and very good, just does not fill that void in my life... A Canon with a 1x finder and metal shutter curtains.

After 50 years of photography
It's not that I need more gear...
it's just that I want more gear.

A month ago i said in a post: I feel i have everything I need, photogear-wise". I swear I was meaning it.

Now, alas, no contax and no medium format gear at all, i had to check the "I am not satisfied" option...

 

[RML]

Pherdi, you're excused, of course! Going from "completely satisfied" to "no gear left" because of a thieving rat will make anyone need/ want/ lust after more gear. 🙂

 

[peter_n]

Totally agree with Remy. I would have said exactly the same thing in your situation, Pherdinand.

I have all the lenses I need but I only have one RF body, so I think I can legitimately aspire to a second. I would really like an AE camera and would love an M7, but I wouldn't mind a Canonet either... 🙂

 

[taffer]

Thanks for the link Rover, but I was talking about the GOI one, check your Princelle 2nd, p.57. Now tell me, wouldn't you lust after that one ? 🙂

 

[denishr]

Well, there you are - I'm actually NEVER content.

Just bought some Series VI accessories on eboy - a 39mm-Ser. VI adapter, and a Series VI polarizer... to be used on several cameras, including Leicas 😀

[back alley]

just checked the poll results...i wanna know who thinks i'm a fool??????😉

 

[rover]

I love the GOI one, but I don't think it was a production model. Was it? Even in it's final form the Leningrad is quite a fine looking machine.

 

[24x30]

Always when I think that I'm complete now, something new is comming around the corner ... so I will be never satisfied.

Just spend a lot of Money for a new enlarger head ... and now I looking for a TLR (must be crazy)... oh and those Bessas are looking fine 😉

I hit "mostly". I'm really happy with the gear I have now, can't imagine what else I'd want (at least seriously, there are occasional mad urges towards Mamiya 7's or 645's, but I manage to resist them)
But I know that there is always something that will come up that will ignite the lust in my camera loving brain....

No doesn't look like it was series produced, or even produced in any serious way 🙂 Agree that the Leningrad is nice and in fact would like to try one someday.

Anyway I know this may sound odd but I FEEL that I need to at least try to make something decent enough from the stuff I already own, mainly when I've got that equipment from other photographers, all of them happy that those cameras/lenses were going to get use and not lay on a shelf or being re-eBayed.

By not doing that (using them) I'd feel as if I was deceiving their old owners, that's also why I prefer to let them go (if needed) to another photog.

 

[SolaresLarrave]

A while ago, I was the most satisfied camera owner on Earth... until I looked into my SLR assets and didn't like what I saw. Sold stuff here and there, bought some more...

Now, I'm mildly interested in a long lens for my Leicas. If I don't like/use it much, there's always the chance to sell again.

So, mostly satisfied only.

And Joe, you ain't nobody's fool! 🙂

 

[Honu-Hugger]

P. S. Okay, maybe one or two more: does anyone have a 16mm f/3.5 Nikkor for sale/trade? Or an ED 50~300 Nikkor Zoom? A 200mm f/2? Now that I have an Alpa/Nikon adapter I'm beginning to miss many of my old Nikkor lenses...🙁

I am satisfied with the stuff I have... but everytime there is something (the last thing?) I want to buy even if only "needed" for testing. So I just aquired a Yashica YK and at this opportunity I also took a Jupiter 12 for my Kiev from the same seller. That's life and I do not know if there is a cure for that.

 

[CleverName]

I'm mostly satisfied. I'd like some wider lenses for my SLR, and maybe a good flash if I ever decide to start using one. All of my rangefinders are fixed lens and I'm fine with that because they are all in the "normal" range, which is what I usually shoot anyway.

I'd be happy with what I had if you guys would just shut up about the Canon P. Yea, it's a nice camera, fine. Ya don't have to keep going on and on about it. Have mercy on the weaker ones of us. 🙂

I am completely satisfied with what I have now. I know Leica MP feels better than a R2, but salivating in front of the display window whenever I visit the local photography equipment shop to buy films is not my idea of a meaningful life. Being contented with what you have and enjoy the 'minute part of reality' that your camera captured is my idea of a good life. 🙂
