You know you have LBA when..

I may have overlooked in this long list, but here's an acknowledgment of LBA:

You have LBA when the drybox you're looking at, is almost worth a Limited lens, because you need something BIGGER.

You know you have LBA when... you post a 2037 word essay on how to know when you have LBA

This thread had been idle for a long time. I though there is a cure for LBA...

You know you have LBA when your telephoto lens collection looks like this (and you live in Seattle)

There was.

Until that lens tournament re-ignited my LBA again.

I don't think LBA ever goes away.... it just lies dormant, waiting patiently and when you least expect it... BAM! Back it comes again.

Yep...My recently acquired DA* 200 f2.8 was just a brief moment of weakness in what was otherwise lining up to be a gear free year*.

*Well, not counting the Mamiya C33 or Rolleiflex MX, but they don't count on the basis that they aren't camera's they are..um..collectibles.

bwahahahaha. My LBA is in remission at the moment, after I somehow managed to acquire 2 Q fisheyes and bodies. I don't know how that happened, I swear... Then someone watched me use my 23a on my k-01 and wanted to know where they could buy one for them as they were in the market for a dslr. Next thing I know I'm checking out cameras for her, and am toying with the idea of upgrading to a k-50.... I mean, weather sealing would be pretty handy...

I think my LBA is cured - until Black Friday lens deals flare it up again
