This 'stay at home' during this virus has given me bad GAS.....I tend to 'look for bargains' on line...plus the mental fatigue of nothing to do....cept house clean, watch re-runs, clean out puter junk.....I guess'n I'm get'n "SHOPPINS DIESESE" I moved up a notch in camera bodies...bolstered the batteries....added a couple of those lens multipliers'....several prime lenses...(all over the last 9 months)...and 2 hard shell cases...I buy all used....except for the cases (Harbor freight)......Will I EVER get well???

You’re almost there. Tripod upgrade or maybe some faster memory cards.

After the pandemic is over. Then you can play with all of your toys. I’m having the same issues. Can’t wait for it to be over. Running out of things to buy used.

During this pandemic We have bought a new camera and 4 lenses. I’m getting ready to buy another camera. A rifle, a revolver, and a pistol. God help us gassers.

Don’t have a rifle, revolver or pistol but I have an original Japanese Samurai sword. Would do John Belushi proud.

How about flashes and remotes for them and the cameras?
Plus you could get a red dot sight that fits in the hot shoe for fast acquisition of distant subjects and tracking moving subjects.
Then you will need at least one hot shoe splitter so you can use the red dot and flash at the same time.

I've bought several new "toys" (70-200f2.8, tripod & gimbal) during the this pandemic, couldn't spend it on anything else, so B&H got it.

I am a little bit jealous. Despite having some funds set back without any particular designated purpose, nothing has come along to pique my interest. It seems that for the first time in a long while, I can't identify any gaps that need or want filling. Sort of hate thst, because I know that my local camera store could use that little packet of savings more than me. Maybe I need to work up an interest in a larger LED panel or two...

Hi All,
Maybe the "lockdown" is good. Crazy thought: Look how much money you are not spending by not pay for hotel/motels, gas, travel, etc. you would normally do but couldn't do over the last several months. You could invest in more/better equipment to use when you can again start visiting "places." I said it was a crazy thought! Take care & ...

I was saved from a severe GAS attack by Canon’s refurb store running out of stock.

What seems to us as bitter trials are often indicators of the need to change cameras.
