Acute Mirrorless GAS Attack
Jun 12, 2021 11:51:10 #
Yesterday I was up in Manchester (NH) and took the opportunity to go into Hunt Photo to buy some PhotoFlo because I have a wayward roll of film from my Bronica to develop. I bought that along with a couple of plastic bottles. Then I looked at cameras.
45 minutes later and some $2600+ later I walked out.
With: A Nikon Z6 kit (with the 24-70 f/4 lens), an FTZ adapter ($99.95 if bought with the camera), a CFexpress card of some 128 gigabytes, a reader for the card, a polarizing filter, and an extended 3 year warranty against everything including loss and damage and destruction. The Z6 is currently on a Nikon-wide sale.
GAS attack has been assuaged. The menu and button structure is somewhat different from my D7100 but close enough that intuition and judicious use of the manual will get me through. And ergonomically, it is a joy to hold and to use.

You could have saved a lot of money by just having the film developed. 
Of course you spent $2,600 investing in a lot of future fun.

Congratulations. I can identify with your GAS attack. Went into the Hunt’s Store in Providence, RI and walked out spending about the same amount for my new Canon R6 mirrorless. Have fun with that new toy!

The only way to get out of a gas attack is to fill 'er up. Enjoy your new gear.

Good deals north of the border. I’m from the Merrimack valley in MA. I could walk to NH (weather permitting).
Walk in, no shipping, no state tax.
