I have the urge to buy a Leica Q2 Monochrom but the saving grace is they seem to be rare as hens teeth but do I really need one when I own a Fujifilm X-Pro 2?
I think you should go and sit on the naughty step for that one. It does make me wonder why so many tho.Not that I'm much help but there are 9 in a MPB at the moment

I think you know the answer to that!Forgive me father for I have sinned, it has been two lenses and some accessories since my last confession. A couple of filters, a Lee adapter, a zoom lens and a .. a ... a fisheye!!!
OH THE HORROR, WILL I NEVER LEARN ...
I did just that. Bought a Plustek (from tp forum no less!) and scanned them in. Took a while but got into a good routine to do it. I then sold it on at the same price I paid. Now I wish I'd kept the plustek as they seem to have gone up in price and I'd like to scan some new film I've taken.For a while I've been thinking about digitizing my old film negatives but couldn't really justify the expense of buying a scanner to do the job, until I came across a Plustek film scanner up for auction on fleabay. It gave me the idea that if I won it cheaply enough I could use it to scan my negaitives and then could sell it on.... Surprisingly I won it within the budget I set myself. Now just awaiting delivery. Hopefully I'll be able to get back what I paid for it if I decide to sell it on, but having just retired it will give me something to do for a while.....
It might even tempt me to dig my Nikon F75 out of retirement and fire off a few shots with it....
No, just buy the lens....should I seek some sort of help !
That was very careless of you - congrats!I may have accidentally bought a Nikon 16-35 f4...oops!
You need retail therapy.I seem to have developed a fixation with the Nikon 300 PF lens, I can't afford it, don't really need it - and yet I spend far to long thinking about it - should I seek some sort of help !
Thats my conclusion - its on order and should be here next weekYou need retail therapy.
So the beast has arrived, damn this thing is big, but, it isn't half as heavy as I expected it to be, which is why I stumped up the extra cash to go for the MK III rather than the heavier MK II which is over 1KG heavier I think.

If the rain holds off I'll go to the foxes tomorrow morning and try it out.
Also got the 1.4 extender which will give me 560mm at f4.

I think you have a variant: nostalgia gas!I'm severely in need of help!!! After acquiring my D700 for some strange reason I started looking to see if there were any low shutter count Nikon D70 on the market.... Came across a mint boxed one with a mere 1276 shots...... and now it's in my possession.. My first DSLR was a D70 and it cost a hell of a lot more than what I paid for my latest acquisition!!!
The X100V is a better camera for many reasons and you'd end up strapping bigger lenses to the XPro at some point just because you can, it's what we doI'm fortunate enough to own an A7R4 with a selection of nice lenses, and an X100V. I don't need an X-Pro3 and a 35 1.4. I really, really don't..... do I?
Nope! I think you are 'toast'......Forgive me, for I have sinned... Seriously. I've got all the gear I need. All the gear I want. But last night I found myself on eBay. And saw what looks to be a pristine Billingham 555 in black canvas with tan trim with a reasonable 'Buy It Now'. The bids were low with a day and a bit to go. But.... 'Buy It Now'!
I've a bit of a thing for Billingham bags. I used to joke my wife had a thing for handbags until she looked up the list price of my Billinghams. I keep quiet these days.
The largest bag I have to date is a 335. I can cram all I ever need into that for a weekend's shooting. It weighs a tonne. Makes her shoulder ache... apparently.
So, here's my predicament, do any of you think she'll buy into it being my 'weekend bag with some room for a few bits of camera stuff'?
