AlanJW Posted April 7, 2015 Share #21 Posted April 7, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) John, you just spent a small fortune on a M60 and you don't have GAS? BTW, do you ever, ever, ever peek at the LCD on the Monochrom? Come on, be honest now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan c. davis Posted April 8, 2015 Share #22 Posted April 8, 2015 Even the benighted (by some) Leica T is fantastic - it takes very good pictures, and is useful when I'm riding my motorbike, hiking or otherwise in the outdoors wanting something small, AF and zoom, that will take M lenses for macro if I want it. Cheers John John, all the Kiwis I know don't hike, they go TRAMPING. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IkarusJohn Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share #23 Posted April 8, 2015 John, all the Kiwis I know don't hike, they go TRAMPING. Peanut Slab to you, Alan. I was internationalising my language. Al, the thread was started AFTER I bought the M60. Now, I'm on the bones of my ass. Alan will explain that! As for chimping with the Monochrom, it's an easily broken habit. Having said that, if I've taken the time to set up a landscape shot, I will often check the histogram. If I remember ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanyasi Posted April 21, 2015 Share #24 Posted April 21, 2015 It is not just photographers who have GAS. My wife attended a pastels workshop in Seattle, Washington this past weekend. She mentioned that there was an opportunity to buy all sorts of painting and drawing supplies. She noted that it is ridiculous how much equipment all the other pastel artists brought with them--"they couldn't possibly use it all." I note that before she took up pastels, I was the recipient of most of the UPS packages from Amazon and mail order photo dealers. It is now 50/50. GAS comes with any hobby, passion, or career. Once you start to take something seriously and put all sorts of time in it, you starting bulking up. And as I have said before, most people realize that all the gear in the world will not make them better at what they do, but it is part of the experience and it is fun.
