Porn for Gear heads? I've been suffering form PGAS. Photo Gear Acquisition Syndrome! With a trip to the US coming up, I'm finding myself browsing photo retailers web sites, trying to figure out what I should buy. Am I nuts? Look at the gear I've already got! These are my Canon EF lenses, 6 of them. 3 zooms giving a continuous range from 17mm-200mm plus three primes, 24, 50 and 100. If I want to use 100mm, I have a choice of 3 lenses, I have 2 each that'll give me 50mm, 35mm, 28mm or 24mm. What more could I possibly need?
Want, of course, is different to need. I want the newly announced Sigma DC 30mm f1.4. I want to upgrade my 50mm f1.8 to the f1.4 version. I want a Canon EF-S or Sigma DC 15mm f2.8, which neither company makes (yet), and I want the new Canon EF-S 60mm f2.8. Then there's the non Canon EOS wants. I want a Voightlander Bessa R3A, with the 24mm, 40mm and 90mm lenses. I want a vintage Leica IIIG. And I want a Pentax M-100f2.8 for my MX. But I don't need any of it.
So, I'm not going to buy anything. I'm going to focus my efforts on making photographs rather than buying photo gear. That'd confuse 'those' people on 'those' forums. But I really do want that 30mm f1.4!
