Another forum I visit uses "UAS" - Ukulele Acquisition Syndrome.

Actually, it's an acronym, not an abbreviation.

I wonder . . . Why is abbreviation such a long word?

. . . and there is no cure. No point in entering rehab, either. Might as well just give in.

The need is for a "Gear Appreciating Spouse".

When I need new gear I ask her about a trip to somewhere and new gear gets bundled in to package.

Three nights at Tahoe is worth one body and a lens - lol.
Make it a foursome and guys get a photo day while girls go shopping (their GAS - oh no)

There's a vast difference between a DSLR and a mirrorless, one isn't even an acronym.

I am blessed with a wife that says: "if you want it and think it is going to get better results, go for it".

Another abbreviation for the same affliction is LBA (Lens Buyers Anonymous). I am an honorary member.

Back in the seventies we called them
Gizmologists. Someone who wanted the latest gizmo thinking it would help their photography.

Hello every one. I have been reading this forum for about 2 years and it has been very informative, sometimes funny. I would like to know what the abbreviation GAS means. It is used in reference here frequently. Thanks to all. Bob


Gear Acquisition Syndrome... It causes severe wallet farts.
