new plan!

[shadowfox]

I must be slow.
Help me out here, Joe.
What's wrong with selling a lens to fund another?

 

[monochromejrnl]

first FrankS talks about not buying any more, now Joe is promising not to sell and only buy... LOL

 

[Sonnar Brian]

Only sell lenses after you have replaced them.

 

[noimmunity]

Have you asked your lenses how they feel about this?

 

[kuvvy]

I suppose you'll still be buying bags too Joe?

Spoken by a true forum member. Gear is not inanimate!

nothing wrong with it at all...in looking back there are a few lenses i wish i had kept.

it's a rite of passage...as you begin the journey to your zen place you will start to understand...

pretty much settled on 2 5xb bags...but i still like to look at other bags 😉

 

[FrankS]

I'm doing just fine with my plan, good luck with yours, Joe.

Ah, I see.

Actually, I've been doing this all along, it's rare for me to sell a lens, they don't take a lot of spaces and there will always be situations when I really need it.

I've replaced three I regretted selling. Looking for the fourth.

this plan makes a lot of sense. i have sold lenses to fund lenses only to find that i missed the lens i sold after working with the new lens. moral: don't sell before you're sure of the replacement

 

[MCTuomey]

if someone does, and the lenses answer, it could spell trouble

They (the lenses) do tend to have their own perspective on things, however 😀

 

[noimmunity]

Oh yeah, I support and admire Joe, and I'm doing the same thing! (until I get so infuriated with the disappearance of film and the lack of a viable digital platform that I cash out of the M system altogether).

I recommend this book highly.

 

[robklurfield]

I regret every transaction that involved giving up a lens.

 

[gilpen123]

But Joe didn't plan not to look at a nice good condition M8/8.2 though.
