What are you trying to talk yourself out of?

[kehng]

I noticed this morning that the "What have you just bought?" thread now has 1,893 posts. In the meantime I am trying to fight off GAS at the moment and am trying to talk myself out of my eternal lust for a Noctilux. I know I don't need it as I should be satisfied with my 35mm 1.2II and 50mm 1.1 Noktons...

So.... What are you thinking of buying but find yourself trying to rationalise yourself out of at the moment?

well there happens to be a camera flea market thing organized by a local camera store and im resisting the urge to not splurge on a new camera since i just bought an olympus pen ee that has yet to be delivered.

Leica M8

I know it got some bad "press" lately (availability of parts) but I still want one.

EDIT: I failed, just bought a M8 5 minutes ago.

Converting from Canon EOS to Nikon

The idea that I need a Fuji GW690II or III... I already have the 90mm version

A Harman Walker Titan. I just handled one in a store yesterday and I want it (although desire and ability to pay do not always intersect).

Selling off all my Nikon DSLR gear and buying a Fuji X100 or XE1.
If I get the XE1, I could keep and use my CV15mm.

M10, but I still got some time for that 🙂

Leica M9 really really want one but sure I can justify it given the cost and how little I'm shooting these days. Could try and tell myself I'd shoot more if bought it but not so sure of that given the fact that not around here really motivates me to go out and shoot.

Trying to ignore / avoid listings for Bessa III and GW690III.

I don't need them, I can do the same without them.

Wish I had a local store with things like that to handle! Sure it would be bad, but in such a good way....

To go with the original post topic - trying to talk myself out of a 4x5 monorail and field camera, and stocking up on film heavily.

I'm trying to get three of my digicams onto eBay. Keep finding lots of excuses not to do the pictures or the blurbs...

[seifadiaz]

A Leica R lens for use in my only DSLR body, Canon EOS 400D. I'm still wondering if it is worth doing that or not.

 

[jonasv]

A Nikon D800.

 

[jesse1dog]

Sony RX 100 or a Lumix LX-7.

Selling my D200 & 6 lenses to be replaced with an XE-1.

 

[Expatinprogress]

A Leica M6... :bang:
...the only thing between she and me is the lack of places for developing film here in Mozambique.
In the meantime, I will have to be satisfied with my RD-1s. Easier to develop in my Mac
