Thank You all for encouraging/discouraging replies.Another guilty party is Ken Rockwell - until I have read his "macro lenses" recommendations, I was happy with Sigma/Tamron selections. Now - I am dreaming about Nikon 200/4 macro!!! Anybody with knowledge how to print $100 notes?
Contact the Federal Reserve. They seem to be printing trillions.
Welcome to the GAS black hole of no return. There is a great sucking shout as your money leaves for other places. As I replace my cameras my children and grandchildren get my old ones so they can develop GAS.

It's a start to the cure. The cure will come many thousands of dollars and years from now. Meanwhile, I hope you love your new delivery. Happy shooting!
Well said, and very accurate!

GAS is terminal.
Ummm... I think it is chronic rather than terminal, you don't die from it, you just die with it.

Hahaha! good luck with that :D
(I've got a Canon EOS 6D with 24-105mm f/4L and 50mm f/1.4 lenses, T3i with Sigma 18-250mm and two kit lenses, SX50, and G16, all acquired in the past 15 months. Now looking to expand my lineup of lenses for the 6D and T3i.)
The only known cure for G.A.S. is passing on to the other side, something I do not wish to experience for many, many years to come! :lol:

I've got a good shot [I wasn't driving] of someone passing on the left, over the double lines. That might be another possible cure. :?:

Die from it unless your wife/mate has a CCW permit
Spousal unit may use GAS as justification, but the cause of death would more likely be bludgeoning, evisceration, flaying, impalement, incineration, decapitation, gunshot, bloodletting, shame, asphyxiation, or suicide from guilt induced depression.
Either way you are dead for something else and GAS was a catalyst for the lethal reaction. As in all things, moderation is best.

I was a small boy just after the end of WWII when a favored Uncle bought me an Ansco box camera. A few years later I used monies earned on a paper route to purchase a folding roll film Kodak. After the birth of my children and a whole slew of box cameras and instamatics, I bought an Olympus RC35, followed in a few years by an Olympus OM2n it was stolen, so I replaced it with an OM1n, then added an OM2s. By now I was middle aged and auto focus seemed the way to go, but wasnt available in an Olympus SLR, so I soon owned a spanking new Nikon 8008.
Then I got serious, bought a studio with a couple Nikon F3's, a couple of Mamiya RBs, a Synar view camera, lots of lights, lenses, et al! The studio failed and I got rid of the view cameras and one of the RBs, but soon I added a Nikon F100. Then I tried early digital with a Nikon 5mp point & shoot didnt work out for my style shooting, but soon there was a D100 followed by a D 70. After I wore out both their shutters (having Nikon replace one of them), I upgraded to a D200. Then I retired and we moved back to the Midwest where my photography was limited to family and occasional wildlife, as I concentrated on working around the house. Then, for no reason I can ascertain, I started following the Ugly Hedge Hog blog, and the next thing you know, Im the proud owner of a spanking new D800.
I explained away the significant cost of the D800 to my wife, by reasoning that this would probably be my last camera. I dont have the heart to tell her about all the new glass Im going to need to make use of the capabilities of this beauty!
