After a little more than a year of GAS I have developed a serious problem with GUD (Gear Utilization Dysfunction). It started last year with my upgrading from my D5000 to a D7100. Then I added the 10-20 DX Nikkor. Then I picked up a used AF Nikkor 35-105 which is primarily for my film FE but also works on the D7100. Then a late summer flurry which involved a full CLA on my Rolleicord III making it usable again, a cheap 500 Bower mirror lens for the FE (CAN be used manually on the D7100), a one month project acquiring a used Bronica ETRSi with 4 lenses and two film backs, the 40mm micro-Nikkor for the D7100, and finally a PhotoDiox adapter allowing me to use all 4 Bronica Zenzanon lenses on the Nikon FE or D 7100. AND an eBay pickup of an Olympus XA 35mm pocket rangefinder camera. I've stopped the GAS, but now... I've got a DSLR with a bunch of new lenses, a film Nikon SLR with additional lenses, the full Bronica 645 kit, the newly refurbished Rolleicord 6x6, and my old standby Pentax 6x7 with 3 lenses. So digital, 35mm SLR & pocket RF, and 3 formats of film MF. Sometimes it's random which camera I'll take out with me. It's become overwhelming. Beware uncontrollable GAS especially when it's in 4 different directions at once!

" full CLA on my Rolleicord III "
Does that mean you got it cleaned?
I've got one, takes gorgeous pics.

I know what what you mean. I have a few lenses that don't get much use, I got carried away too. BTW, I have the 35-105mm you mentioned. Nice lens.

Clean, lube and adjust.

I don't see a problem here. When my stepfather passes away he had more than 100 guns. We do it in less destructive ways.

I used to really enjoy shooting Kodachrome 25 with my old Nikon FTN that I bought at Altman Camera in Chicago back in 1970 when I was in the Navy and stationed at Great Lakes Naval Hospital. I still have my Nikkor-Q f-1:4, prime 200mm which is in mint condition.

So, start wandering around with camera, and post pictures in the Gallery. I don't see a problem here.

You could pick up one of those pull behind shopping carts and take them all with you. Just saying...................

Perhaps...but you’re still dead.
That’s a problem.

But inevitable.

I miss Altman's - gone the way of far too many camera shops.

A woman uses her head in the face of GAS, men (note the replies to our exchange) press on, no matter what.
