what if they made a lens and no one wanted it?

IF buying, trying, and selling photo gear provides some pleasure, then why not? This endeavour may not be as lofty a pursuit as making satisfying images, and it may even get in the way of creating satisfying images, but why deny a harmless pleasure?
 
You feel like you are being thrusted through the 21st century at warp speed. You need an Anchor. Something to hold onto as the world moves by at dizzying speeds.

You need the 1950s precision of a Canon P to get your bearings straight and give you direction in your life.
 
Somebody thump Brian - I think his needle's stuck! :)

(and don't tell me you don't what that means!)

Just bought a 1935 Carl Zeiss Jena 5cm F1.5. Let's see if that Optics Module fits into a J-3 mount...

Pretty much ran out of lenses that I want that could be bought.

As I cross into my 50s, it's nice to get results that people like with equipment that's older than me. It's re-assuring. Like the smooth precision of a Leica M3, Nikon SP, or Canon P. Or a Dual 1249...

Stuck needle- you were not around when I used Subliminal Messages in my signature line.

Is it a bad sign when you read summer to be summicron ?
I´m a bit dyslectic but probably more into photography ..

But I can relate to the lack of "feeling" to gear and stuff, but it tends to end after a while, just take the e**y test and see after a while ;)
Being uninspired is a as fun as having a brought a TLR and it rains all day.

i have fruit shakes with some protein powder added for breakfast, mmmm.

i bought a gourmet bar, nice box, thick dark chocolate coating...

but my computer is still slow as poop in winter!
maybe it has bugs?
 
I too became very weary of the gear talk. I'm spending more time at production. The egos become tiresome too, although some threads (like the recent CV lens thread) can be hilarious (especially towards the end).
