Just received my “new” 150mm Hasselblad lens from KEH labeled BGN it’s perfect. I think my 60 plus year Hasselblad collection is complete. Now I have to get out and use it. A real GAS attack.

In my instance buying new equipment means i have more practice to accomplish and become a more well rounded and experianced photographer. Lol

Photography and golf are identical.
You need professional instruction to master the basics.
You need to practice to get great results.
When you fail to achieve your goals- - you go out and buy new equipment for instant success!!
