A man doesn't need five flashes, though I'll keep one SB700 for when I need to carry flash but need light weight. And then suddenly a pair of SB-900's came up at a reasonable price. I have two, that I run from the SU-800 commander. No your Honour, it's not about the extra four megapixels it's about the improved colour, focussing, and the self-cleaning sensor significantly reducing post-processing time. Again I underscore this isn't GAS, it's to avoid injury! The D4s is lovely, BTW. Oh well, sell my D3, end up with (effectively) a pair of D4 bodies for handling consistency (I often shoot with a body on each shoulder I errr may have recently acquired a Black Rapid double harness to aid ergonomics. Then soon after paying for the service, I found a D4s for a little less than what I was into the D4 for (and 1/5 of the use). Result is I have a very fresh D4 fully serviced, new shutter, rubbers, should be great for years. The cost of D4 service was higher than I expected/estimated (though within the service agent's final quote). I acquired a well-used D4 from a pro, after the D3s wrong-turn (above). You'll note I sold kit to balance out the inventory almost immediately. Your Honour, I chanced it and was caught off guard not GAS, it was all strategic. Value slashed, replacement needed (see below). Not a favourable outcome the D3s had been dropped, it was uneconomic to repair. I sold my best D3 (reasoning that three bodies - although nice - was uncalled for), while I dispatched the D3s for service. I'd also sold one D3, so a D3s bought at reasonable price and then thoroughly serviced, seemed a good opportunity for more buffer and the better performance. I shoot sports, and have had three D3 bodies since 2015, and sold sold my D700 (a gripped D700 is heavier than a D3, and handles worse). The coming sale list - with back story of 'why are you quitting that? Oh I see, you bought some carefully considered equipment. They're all rational responses to what I shoot, and am consequently firmly in denial about suffering GAS!

I'm about to photograph surplus kit - as a result of strategic upgrades - over the last six months.

The positive thing is that I've not actually succumbed to any cameras/lenses/tripods/etc but I'm not sure this staying at home is good for my wallet - I will try to do better next week Portra Orginal Preset Pack from Mastin Labs The Militarisation of Dartmoor by Nicholas White What is it about the male collecting gene that forces this? Set of 13 issues of Black+White Photography 2013 (eBay), I need 6 of these issues to complete my collection of every issue. In the last week I have 'sinned' and bought the following:. Now, nearly all of us suffer from some form of photography GAS, I don't know a photographer who doesn't! I thought it might be 'interesting' to have a thread for all those lovely photography related purchases we make - some of them might be useful to others.
