I am scheduled to travel to Korea and Japan in the future

In Japan, GET for me is "Gotta Eat Tempura and Takoyaki". Korea's no less a foodie destination, but I can't think of any Korean T-dishes off the top of my head.

"Gyoza (and gyudon!) Eat Too" sounds stilted, but sure, why not.

Pentax SMC K 28mm f/2.0 lens--because I've discovered that I "need" something a bit wider than my SMC K 35mm f/2.0 lens as my single, wide-angle, walk-around lens for my Pentax MX, and Pentax photogs venerate this fast, manual, 28mm Pentax lens.

Yeah, I could do with a Pentax 28/2 as well. And a SMC 35/2 wouldn't go astray, either.

Currently have a hankering for Nikon DE-1 plain prism for F2...

😂it’s always something new. For me it changes all the time — one day it’s lenses, next day it’s some random accessory I suddenly “need”.
That Nikon DE-1 is a cool piece though, especially if you’re into that classic F2 setup. There’s just something about old gear that hits different compared to modern stuff.

I cured my case of GAS yesterday. I'm no longer feeling bloated and uneasy sitting on my now thinned out wallet. I am HAPPY though.

I think it is generally the case that we all feel better after we pass GAS.

Is this GAS or a bad dream?
The Mamiya RZ67 Pro II drifts into my mind like a slow-moving moon—heavy, sacred—nestled on its tripod. Beside it, the Billingham bag yawns open, soft fabric spilling packs of 120 film and a handful of Mamiya lenses that glint like small planets. A light meter swings from the tripod, keeping time with my breath.

I see images unfurling in my head—fresh negatives of the surrounding landscape, unprocessed and luminous. Each frame is flawless: every grain, every shadow, every horizon sings with a clarity I've never known. Offers arrive like falling stars—publishers whispering, bidding, promising futures full of work I have not yet made. Their voices are both distant and eager.

And beneath the glow, a quiet knot: yesterday I vowed not to bring any more gear into my life. The promise hums like a low tide. The choice stretches ahead—want pulled thin between the certainty of golden images and the steadiness of my resolve—soft as a dream, impossible to weigh.

Wow! Maybe you were taking absinthe? 🙂

Yes but that's just the norm for a Sunday

SLR Magic 25mm T0.95. Like I said in other threads, I've wanted one of these for many years, at least since about 2013/2014, but never got around to getting one. The distributor in Australia no longer seems to carry it, and it appears to be discontinued at SLR Magic. It is one of their first superfast lenses for micro four thirds, created in a time when m43 was a major choice for lower budget video shooting. I've had the Voigtlander 25mm f0.95 and Olympus 25mm f1.2 for a long time, but the SLR Magic has been a bit of a completionist wish lens for me. Reviews suggest that it is very sharp wide open, without the glow of the Voigtlander, and faster than the clinically perfect Olympus.

This is what it can do. The rendering and bokeh are quite special, I think.

VERY nice. Poetry for the eyes.

As the happy owner of a IIIf RD with a few lenses ... yes, yes you do ...
