With all the recent talk of GAS, maybe we need a thread to celebrate what we didn't just buy?
I just passed up a DP2m for AU$500 (~$450)!

I'm passing on a VF-2 for my GXR.

I bravely resisted a LN low actuation boxed M9 with grip, for 2600$, now that was tempting

This week it would be a Canon 35mm 2.5 FL lens and a Nikon MD-4...
I hope to wait for a bit before really trying to get either one...

That's a coincidence, I bought a 35mm 2.5 FL on a whim a few days back (awaiting delivery). I know very little about the lens other than the fact that it's slightly faster than my 3.5 and I like the 35mm focal length.
What are you looking to get out of that lens, if I may ask?

I was just about to buy an Olympus 35SP for 95€, but I had just dragged myself from my hair away from it (and the more I think of it the more I want to start screaming).

Ride, dive, shoot.
What a timely thread. I'm trying super hard not to buy new gear this summer.
In the past month or so, I've dodged
• X-E1 or X-Pro1
• GR
• Summaron 35/2.8
• Summicron 35 v3
• Elmar-M 50/2.8
• EOS-M
• E-P5
• Oly VF-3
• R-D1
• Oly 9-18mm for MFT
• CV 28/3.5
• CV 35/1.4
Wow. Typing these made me scared and also a tiny bit proud of myself. I'm also parting out my unused bicycle parts (I have 4 bikes...) I gotta keep going!

My name is Richard. I have bought some cameras and quite a few lenses but no new camera for nearly a year. I let go the sister chrome M9-P to the one I have, the last new one available here. And then it miraculously reappeared at my first visit to the shop in months, a demo model. And I let that go. And I haven't ordered the Monochrom still. In fact I am not allowed to. The only camera I have bought in the last 12 months was a $350 Rolleiflex from the classifieds here, and that was 11 months ago. I am doing pretty well.

I bought-it-now a No.2 Kodak Folding Pocket Brownie on Ebay, but the seller couldn't find the camera anymore. ...cash refunded... :|

Clive, why are you passing on the VF-2? I've resisted for quite a while, in the hope that a used Fuji X-e1 will come my way for not much more than a new VF-2. Then the X-e1 (with m-adapter) will become my VF!

Adobe Lightroom. I keep thinking I should, then I wonder what it will do for me that my current workflow won't. My answer so far is "some, but not enough to be worth the cash and energy". While I know I'll go there some day, that day isn't yet.
