I'm trying of convince myself to sell my Fed-5 and my Fed-2, and it seems that I'm rather adding a Fed-3 and another Fed-2 to the collection... wunderbar!
I'm so hopeless....

My brother (a gun nut) warns me, "Never try to sell anything! It only makes matters worse. The one you sell is the one you'll regret from now on!"

We need our own kind of AA only Range Finderholics. Get in a support group. Weekly meetings. Last night I told myself I was done, less then 20 minutes later I was bidding on a Leica IIIf that I did'nt get. Right now I'm 3 hours away from the close of an auction on a MF range finder I bid on and really don't need.

What I really need is another lens in M mount for my ZI. What I want is a contax IIa. 
GAS is hideous!

Slow learner,but keen!
I have two v.nice Fed 2's,having decided that the Fed 2 fits the bill for me,so I don't really need another camera body,but .....
I also have a REALLY nice j12,which won't fit comfortably on EITHER camera as both of their rangefinder arms seem a liitle low.I'm not sure what the chances are of having two Feds with this particular set-up,but it leaves me with an un-used lens.Not wishing to mess about with the Feds,which are ok.in every other respect,does this mean another body....?
Unless of course the rangefinder arm is too low again....!!!

ha ha. I read the thread title as "oh, no more gas!"
not
"oh no, more gas!"
not funny probably. But either way, it has strong relevance to my day.

I'd love to get a Contax II and a Contax IIa ... I don't see why I bother myself with getting LTM cameras when I've an almost full Kiev mount lens outfit... but the Fed-3 was my first rangefinder ever, and I sent it to my girlfriend as a gift (with prints of the photos I took with it) so I need a new one

Very good advice, usually you take a loss on the first, get the second, later sell it and take yet another loss, long slippery slope.
I have a friend who every year gets a new deer rifle, tricks it out, gets it shooting perfect, sells it at a loss buys a new one and starts over. It costs money and a lot of time to get a factory rifle shooting right, let alone price of shells to break it in, a scope, sling etc.
My Grandfather once gave me a finely engraved Browning sweet 16 shotgun, and I traded it off in a trade for a deer rifle. You can't get a sweet sixteen without paying a ton for it now adays, not to mention it was an airloom.
Selling to buy is like :bang:
