Ever agonize over

Two competing pieces of gear? Doesn't matter what - you know you have it have this gear, but there are at least a couple choices and all kinds of pros and cons for each. Makes having GAS that much more painful! Spending time searching through forums, reading reviews and comparisons...

Nope. I impulse purchase and hope for the best (or return it) :)

Yeah, I do that too sometimes unless, as in this case, there is a larger sum of cash outlay at stake.

I come to UHH and ask, then I get more opinions and more ideas of why one is better than the other. Then of course you get the wise guys that have a smart comments. Then you get the guys that say only I can make the decision because its my money.
Then you get the Canon guys saying why are you buying NIkon you should buy canon. Then the Nikon guys respond ...
when actually I was just looking for more info. Maybe someone here had good or bad experiences with said item.
Then pretty soon I will have forgotten why I actually posted a message .

Like the old song "Didja ever have to make up your mind, say yes to one and leave the other behind...."

I'm doing it right now. It's between the Sigma 150-600 "Sport" or "Contemporary". Before this, it was either 24-120 or 24-105. :|Two competing pieces of gear?

I am too impulsive to agonize over things like that. When buying our first house, many years ago, my wife and I shopped Saturday morning and half a day Sunday before putting a binder down to have a house built. We went to contract Wednesday.
When moving to Delaware, friends we were visiting over Christmas planned on us going house shopping. Never happened as we bought one on the way there.
Boats, cameras, etc,. are the same. Once I decide I am going to buy, I buy. That's not saying there is no agonizing over putting the money together to buy something. Once that's handled it doesn't take long.

Basil, I don't ever have that problem. I'm probably just a crappy consumer. I don't get involved with hype. I'm sure nobody pays attention to much of what I write here, but I'm also am an anti techno weenie. I don't get to involved with things like DR, noise or IQ. My only requirement is whether some bit of kit will do a better job than some other piece of kit. Take say cameras, a new replacement only comes out every 3-4 years, so what is there to clamor over?? If I have maxed out the old model and it's holding me back, it's a no-brainer, I need the new one.
I now guys with no jobs and no life, so they tend to make even tiny mole-holes into huge obstacles and mountains. Some need that in their lives, others don't.
Anyway, I'm just pitiful when it comes to GAS!!
I'm probably just no fun to play with!!! :lol: :lol:

You're probably a great consumer, SS! I think my problem is that I am "relatively" new to digital photography (at least new at trying to be semi-serious about it) and once I started really getting into it in a serious way, I realized how many choices there are out there! Someone like me has some experience, but not the level that some of you guys have. As a result, trying to balance getting the best lens, filter, flash, what have you, with keeping things within a budget can be challenging.
