No more Cameras! I'm done! Finished buying! That's it.......

[Pirate]

I've got every base covered, so why would I want more?
I'm done. Spent way too much money and I've got more than I need.

Two little Point and Shoots (just in case)

Nikon, Mamiya-Sekor, Yashica SLR's

A couple old zone focus 35mm's

Three Rangefinders

Hasselblad medium format SLR's

A 3.25 x 4.25 and a 4x5 Large Format folding Rangefinders.

That's it, everything is covered. I don't need any more!

.........

Um, so... where's that therapy group meet at? :bang:

[david.elliott]

subminiatures?

[ItsReallyDarren]

They still make 8x10 film. We gotta shoot that before it disappears!

[FrankS]

A TLR? A press style camera?

[Spavinaw]

Stereo, instant film, panorama.

[bob338]

3D? the world is much prettier in stereo!

[back alley]

you poor *******...

[Keith]

Yep .. it's all over! No more gas!

Once my Pentax 67ii with 105mm and 75mm lenses gets here from the US I'm done!

I can relate to this post. :angel:

[PMCC]

pinhole? (no offense) :)

[Alpacaman]

I have gotten rid of gas forever! Right after I buy x product, it will be all gone! :D

[ItsReallyDarren]

Don't forget about the backup backup's for those cameras you really really like.

[semilog]

I'v heard that digital cameras are pretty cool (*ducks*).

[Pirate]

Doh!!!.......

[cnphoto]

once my 21mm SA arrives i'm going to go 6 months with no major purchases. if i go 6 months, i'll try to go 6 months more etc.

[jarski]

That's it, everything is covered. I don't need any more!


a classic :D

[maddoc]

Leica M2

Nikon SP

[gcsk76]

An Xpan will be a good complement to your arsenal.

[pvdhaar]

Have you thought about lenses ?

Just doing my best to help you in your moment of weakness :).

And I am on the other end of the spectrum...just starting out (only have a P&S). But I'm already hooked.

Maybe I should just stick with my Canon Tx-1...and curb my enthusiasm.

...or maybe just get a Canon S90 (it's still small and inexpensive), or maybe just a Contax G2 set (smallish and fantastic lenses), or maybe Canon 5D MII, I meant Nikon D700...

Or maybe I should just stick with my Canon Tx-1, and take a vacation to Turks and Caicos.

I feel your pain, I do :)

This will help...

[jbielikowski]

I think u need new fridge for film...

[FrankS]

I'm pretty much done. Got the bases covered.
From the top: fixed lens and P+S, medium format, Leica M and screwmount, Olympus SLR, Nikon SLR.

[back alley]

no one is ever done...

not until you have reduced the photographic experience to it's final essence...

one camera and one lens...

[wollivp]

one camera and one lens...

Are you nuts? :p

[ampguy]

how many lost souls out there are obsessing more about 1 camera 1 lens, than how many spouses are the ideal # ...

[SteveM_NJ]

"Steve Martin -- (in THE JERK -"That's all I need, I don't need anything else...oh, and I need this, but that's all I need...")

sounds familiar.

I'm never "Done", I won't even attempt to kid my self.
I know I'm only taking a break until the next inspiration hits.

[FrankS]

I think 7 would be ideal, one for everyday of the week.
Oh wait, are we still talking about cameras?

if this were true...we would want more days in
the week.

[back alley]

Are you nuts? :p


only just slightly...

[ampguy]

I wouldn't know, but from watching "Big Love" I think I'll stick to multiple cameras and lenses... :D

[Pirate]

Ok, I know I will have a problem with this when I start to consider selling a guitar to buy a camera. Then things will have gone over the edge.

Do we have types of cameras for different seasons yet?

[kshapero]

Pentax 110?

[leica M2 fan]

I just wish that I could say that I'm done, but I will never be done! Something will be in the mail and I'm already searching for the next purchase........... lost, lost lost.

[back alley]

winter and summer lens kits for me.

winters here are dark, dark, dark...so i have a high speed kit ready.
lots of light in summer...lots of 2.8 lenses...

[JamesH]

Um, so... where's that therapy group meet at? :bang:

LOL. :D This is it! I think HERE is where we come to comfort each other.

Anyway, you're too late mate. Your next camera is in the post! :D:D (really) ;)

[Peter Wijninga]

An obvious case for Cameras Anonymous.

[SolaresLarrave]

If I had a buck for every time I said that to myself or read anyone saying it...

I'd have more cameras! :)

[bmasonoh]

Sure keep telling yourself that. GAS is not only contagious but incurable :rolleyes:

[oftheherd]

They still make 8x10 film. We gotta shoot that before it disappears!

How about:

[gliderbee]

An obvious case for Cameras Anonymous.

Ah ! Now I realize what CLA really means: Camera Lunatics Anonymous ..

[PatrickONeill]

so, what camera bags do you use to carry your equipment around in? :angel:

[Keith]

I've started shopping at 'Aldi' so I can spend more money on my hobby without starving to death!

It's quite sad!

[Vince Lupo]

I'm in the same camp too, really. I just sold my Contax I camera kit, just shipped my Super Nettel II off to Japan, and my Olympus Pen FT is up for sale. I looked at all these cameras sitting around, and realized that I probably wasn't going to be using them anytime soon. Soon to be on the chopping block is my black Pentax SV outfit, my Toyo 45A outfit, plus a few other cameras. Downsize downsize downsize!

Besides the digital 'money making' equipment, I'll probably hold onto my M-series Leicas, a few screw mount Leicas, my Hasselblads and my Contaflex TLR outfit. Do I really need anything more than that? Probably not!

[raytoei@gmail.com]

hey...what about the indestructible Nikonos, the mighty underwater camera ?

[Keith]

Amazing that they can make cameras that are waterproof ... but they are yet to make one that is gas proof!

Selective technology obviously!

[Vince Lupo]

Oh yeah, forgot about my Nikonos. I still have my Nikonos II, and will probably hang onto that one.

[rover]

You are all thinking way too small
http://www.mammothcamera.com/index.html

[-doomed-]

I'm actually trying to cut down my collection of stuff down to just what I use. I am setting aside money for an M8 as a future purchase.

[israel_alanis]

Hey Pirate, I think you have a lot of cam and kind of them and lenses to do everything (I wish have many of your cameras :) ), I think if you have the best equipment for you (camera and lenses) its all you need, but if you have a new (very new) project unthinking that you can do..... you could need new cam, new lens and new knowledge... try astronomy for example or submarine http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/images/icons/icon10.gif, its just an idea.
That is what I said: New project then new camera and new lens.

regards.

[naruto]

I am done... cleaned out is more like it. But, I am satisfied. :angel:

[Alejandro CD]

Hi,

First came my second hand SLR Canon EOS 1.

Later my girlfriend bought a DSLR EOS D400 which i borrow her sometimes.

Then i bought a Panasonic DMC-LX3 as a lighter and compact camera.

I've recently purchased a Bessa R3M + Nokton 40/1.4. It arrived yesterday.

I think it's time to improve my pictures. I don't need more cameras for the moment.

PS. Maybe i'll buy a digital rangefinder in the future. But i see that future very far...

Cheers,

Alejandro

[barnwulf]

Oh, let's face it. We are only done for a little while aren't we?

[Pirate]

Picked up my M3 from the Post today....

[cnphoto]

21mm SA is on it's way, so my Leica kit is done until I can afford a Noctilux ;)

The only other camera I can see myself buying is a nice, cheapish TLR or 6x6 folder :) that'd be nice, but not essential so I'll wait for one to 'fall in my lap' at a great price.

Somehow, I just can't stop browsing the classifieds section though.........

[nakedcellist]

How about a mobilephone camera...

Anyway, I like to think this as a grid:
digital & analog
medium format & 35 mm
rangefinder & slr

That gives.. 8 combinations...

[stompyq]

Ever seen a 12x20 contact print....

[arunrajmohan]

"No more Cameras! I'm done! Finished buying! That's it......."

Amen

PS: Got a Zeiss Distagon and a nikkor 16-35 today and will henceforth visit RFF, large format photography forum, nikonians, photo.net etc. only on Saturdays between 7-8pm.
