oops.... you could go into business with @Phiggys You're both doing a wonderful job of making me feel restrained.Got to love Sigma.. Ooops
I have actually bought a new camera, and all being well have also sold a camera. That doesn't really count as acquisition does it?
Oh, you've not ordered a new lens for one of those new full-frame mirrorless cameras have you?
Full frame- what's that?Oh, you've not ordered a new lens for one of those new full-frame mirrorless cameras have you?
A world of bokeh goodness!Full frame- what's that?
Until I could get back courtside, I kept wanting an R5 - fortunately, there were none in stock - so perhaps this GAS is a Covid thing. Try going out for walks with a lens you don't use very much for a while. Worked for me earlier in the first lockdown.So, I thought I was done. I really did. After a few years acquiring Nikon dslr's (850 and 810) and various high end lenses, i truly felt happy with my setup. I still do.
So, why the hell am I getting ever closer to deciding to buy a Z6II mirrorless? Arggh.
Incomplete post - against confessional rules!OOPs, might open my own shop I think.

T o ensure complete forgiveness, would you like to list all here that mean that you have to open a shop?It's the Sony FE28mm f2.
Insight always deserves a reward in my book. Have at it!I had a kind of epiphany last night while taking a wee (I have my best ideas with my hands on .... lol ), anyway, I realise all my life I like hobbies where there is some product at the end of it. I have always loved Lego, and I don't smash it up once built. My first degree was in Architecture, I like the satisfaction of building something, I did Law as a detour in my life, there is a product in that career but not as tangible. I take wedding photos, I love taking photos and during lockdown, at the start I would have thought I would spend all the time playing computer games but in actual fact I did none of that. In fact, I am not bothered about computer games to the point I never even bothered pre-ordering any of the new consoles. Instead I bought a new Guitar, new Amp over the lockdown. The other thing I have leaned on is cooking, making lots of things I have missed from my travel to eat at home. Right now I am thinking getting a Synth to make random sounds, again GAS for things to make things.
I appear to have dipped my toe into the 100mm square filter pond - a K&F concept soft ND 0.9 grad & holder...
If the performance of the filter is as impressive as the packaging, I'll be a happy bunny. Just need to be "not at work" when it's daylight now
I'm working on the basis of a soft, hard & reverse grad at the moment... I can be strong, I know I can, just this last one and I'll stop
Are you opening a shop? [emoji15][emoji23]

I already have a 6, 12 & 16 in rounds of suitable diameter - 3 seems hardly either bothering with - just use the 6 & increase the ISO by 3 stops (I tend to always be in the 50-200 range - so 3 stops only takes me to 1600)Don't forget the 15 for those bright sunny days.
is that the reverse grad? I think @hunnymonster seems to have most bases covered. Do you have a filter case @hunnymonster ? I need to sell one of those that I bought on here and have never usedAnd then there's the one with band across the middle whose name escapes me right now...
