My VI-L and Canonet GIII 1.7 were lonely.

I reckon Rangefinder GAS was really a Russian export drive plot as I have now started to look at Kievs

So................that's how Putin balanced the Russian budget.

Paragon, I can understand you perfectly. My advice would be: think for a while what type of photography you really enjoy to do, like portraits, or landscape or urban/streetshooting, or available/low light, etc

Then think about the equipment that you like using best for a given type of photography, test it against all the other stuff you have, and finally get rid of the redundant equipment, or, better still, if you have younger relatives, make it a gift to spread the photo fever around.

Next step would be, to buy some photo albums by your favourite masters, and analyse their shots thoroughly.

Finally, set yourself a project to do a streetshot like HCB, a portrait like Ralph Gibson, etc...

These projects will keep you busy for a while, and you will save lots of money in the meantime...

Best of luck...

My mother visits, my girl says, "He's bought another camera." My mother slowly shakes her head and lets out a genuine sigh. She returns home and calls my brother to tell her about my camera craze, sometimes he calls her and makes up stories about how I bought some pricey exotic camera. It's tragicomic. I asked my girl and my mother if they would rather see me putting needles in my vein or hanging out at the kiosk all day with the local friends of beer. No, there is no known cure for camera addiction....
