WvE Posted May 22, 2019 Share #3 Posted May 22, 2019 Other people buy boats or cars, so enjoy it! Buying new stuff is always fun but so is improving your photography skills, in the long run perhaps even more satisfying than buying gear... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.noctilux Posted May 22, 2019 Share #4 Posted May 22, 2019 😂 That stuff is only at the beginning stage 😉. I know some (more than one person) who began buying big stuff and the stuff becomes bigger and bigger, till now. As side note, the same people bought something "new", then realize when at home time to store it, discover that the same stuff was already there, ...where is the place to store the "new" before use 😵. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverchrome Posted May 22, 2019 Share #5 Posted May 22, 2019 If you actually actively use the stuff you have bought then I don't really see what the problem is. It's only when the kit starts gathering dust, because of a lack of use, that you have to worry. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M11 for me Posted May 22, 2019 Share #6 Posted May 22, 2019 I just come home from Cannes and there I learned that a so called Day Boat is called a Day Boat because it can not cruise longer than one day. And this goes as follows: The fuel tank contains 10'000 liters and the consumption of the engine is 600 to 850 liters per hour. So pls. do not tease PasMichiel. He is extremely modest. I made a lot of photographs of many of these beautiful boats with my M10. I might post a few pictures. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gobert Posted May 22, 2019 Share #8 Posted May 22, 2019 I recognise the feeling. I’ve experienced the same. But, as I explained to my beloved wife, it is always better to spend our money on Leica gear than on hookers and liquer. 2 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only use one camera and most of the time one lens. The rest stays home most of the time... 😊 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatihayoglu Posted May 23, 2019 Share #10 Posted May 23, 2019 I have had a very similar episode in my life about 2 yrs ago when I have purchased my first Leica, M10. Now I have 3 Leica cameras, 5 M lenses, 1 R lens, 2 extender, 1 Zeiss lens and 2x Ona bags Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
louys Posted January 1, 2020 Share #11 Posted January 1, 2020 In January 2019 the number of Leica products I owned was 0. Now I have 3 cameras and 5 M lenses. But that’s it. I am not buying any more Leica gear until ........... until the next time I buy some. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many things of which a man could be a connoisseur that are exponentially worse than M cameras and lenses. Somehow, these words are of little comfort to the wife of a Leica enthusiast. 😎 Edited January 2, 2020 by Herr Barnack 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobey bilek Posted January 2, 2020 Share #15 Posted January 2, 2020 Don`t smoke or drink or have girlfriends, don`t have a big house, one car is 15 years old and the other is 6, each bought new and still look new and have unbelievable low mileage . Have money in the bank and invested. I do have perpetual GAS and she does not complain much. It is getting better because as old as I am, I can only carry so much. Learning to love three lenses. 35, 50, 90. Teaching my son who is 50 darkroom process. Got a nice payback yesterday when wife and I could not find more than three11x14 trays, nice cescolite ones, not the cheep ones. Searched all over with no luck. How many did I have? At least 4. Well when spread the 3 trays I had, the one marked developer was missing. Son found two under the darkroom sink cabinet and I have no Idea how they got there except a plumber installed a new faucet. Anyway saved me $50 and we got to work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In defence I plead not wife/spouse acceptance factor but age. I am in my early seventies and I reckon that, If I am lucky, I will have about ten years of healthy activity in which to enjoy using my Leica gear. And I am NOT going to buy a Q2 or even the M11 (if and when it appears). Honestly😆. But I am not ruling out another lens or two, when the need arises.

albertknappmd Posted January 3, 2020 Share #17 Posted January 3, 2020 sounds perfectly reasonable to me! Albert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
