So I am in good company? Or should I run for the hills????


Company is questionable. Run for the hills if the obsession is such that you sacrifice things like food, clothing and shelter to acquire the newest gadget.

There are a lot of vices that will get you into real trouble - this one, not so much.
Happy shooting!!!!!!

You’re in good company. My D500 probably cost a little more, but same illness.

There was a time that I owned two sailboats and a 22’ runabout so three serious cameras and a few PSs seems fairly tame. Lenses are costly but price out a set of Mylar/Kevlar racing sails for a 34 footer.

I just put yet another camera on lay-a-way.

This will be my third in less than a year. Granted they are used and from the pawn shop, but still...

Help?! LOL (not really, but it sounds good.)


You need help finding more used cameras? You need to train up to serious GAS.

Example: my wife used to run 3 marathons a year. She just finished running her 52nd in just under 11 months. You need to up your game. Start with buying little cameras on ebay every other week. Then every week. Then move to one larger more complicated camera every month.

It is all about TRAINING!!! We can get you up to 30, 40, 50 or more cameras a year in very short order.

There is no goal you cannot achieve if you set your mind to it!

Since I bought a Canon 1Dx a couple of years ago I'm temporarily immune to wanting another body - I tried carrying two 1D MkII bodies in the past and they are so heavy that you get discouraged from that pretty easily.
But I'm not completely off the hook, as there's always the "just one more lens" syndrome.

It is an area which we call the Hedgehog Zone. Unfortunately, there is an epidemic in the Hedgehog Zone known as GAS - and there is no cure!

What type of help do you need? Three cameras in one year sounds like a lot to me considering it takes some time to learn and understand the functions of just one of them.
You are becoming a compulsive buyer and the only help you will need is good advise on your finances.

WHAT!??? CURE!?!?! Cure makes it sound like it is a PROBLEM in need of a CURE!!!

GAS is a VIRTUE!!!! Not an ILLNESS!!!

LONG LIVE GAS!!!!

It is called “GAS”. We all have it from time to time!
