Screwing up a photo, or photo-shoot, because it's my fault!
Boy I resemble that remark. I truly dislike that aspect, particularly if it's a shoot for someone else. In fact they don't usually notice what we consider screw up's, but still.. it matters to us.
But unfortunately, that is how we improve.

Studio work... The hours of waiting around... clients not showing up on time or cancelling an hour after shoot time.....
I agree with you 100 per cent. I just want to get the best image possible with what I have round my neck and what subject matter is in front of me. I don't want to spend hours on the computer cleaning up a bad shot.
I don't like all the work of getting back up to speed after a 25+ year photographic hibernation. I have to learn everything anew, Canon 5DSR instead of a Mamiya RB67, learning to see again, learning to read the light, etc. :-(

I have 3 MF cameras. 120 film is plentiful. Why worry? Shoot film and learn digital at your own pace (like I and I suspect many other Hogs did).
I HATE photography....., but if I'm gonna get sexy shots of naked girls...., I'm driven to do what I HATE....,do I even have a choice???

There's the rub: I was never keen on chemical processing, but put up with it. Now that digital provides a chemical-less environment, I decided to take the plunge. I just wish the water wasn't quite as cold.

Considering the content of a contemporary thread, I'm inclined to say Leitz (the member, not the firm). But that would be a terrible misuse of an otherwise thoughtful thread such as this, so please forget I said it. Thank you for your understanding.
ADMIN, I would not blame you in the least for omitting this post!

I am in the same place. Used Olympus OM 2s (two bodies) and some fine manual focus lenses for years, including during travel to Kenya, Afghanistan, and Turkey. Now have just bought an Olympus OMD E 5 II, and boy is it complicated! I had a Nikon D60 and decided to downsize in weight and profile, but it upsized me in complexity. I'll catch on eventually, but I wish it were easier.

...and you can do that, too, if you want through making a book or printing your images...it's all about choices.
The fixation on gear to the exclusion of all else- including actual photography.
Definitely one of my top dislikes.
