I call this variation of LBA
LADD--Lens Attention Deficit Disorder. The person who has LADD makes a habit of buying lenses, only using them a few times at the most, and then selling them once again before they really have a chance to get to know them. You'll notice that they are constantly buying and selling on places like Fleabay and the Marketplace. They are easily distracted by the array of great lenses out there and tend to buy on impulse, not necessarily thinking about whether or not the lens would be a good long-term keeper. They can be easily talked into buying something that they really don't need.
How did I come up with this? I'm one of those people and I've realized the err of my ways. I've realized that in the long run, it makes no sense for me to have a huge collection of mediocre lenses when just a few really good lenses will do the job. Since I don't have a massive lens budget, I have to be patient and ignore the voices in my head that are telling me to BUY BUY BUY now! I need to get to know what I already have better.
This is my current kit:
Sigma 17-70
Sigma 100-300 (will possibly be replaced by the 55-300)
FA 43 Ltd.
On the way is a DFA100 macro.
At some point, I'd like to give my 43 a couple of siblings in the way of the 31 & 77.
To enhance what I can do with my kit, I also want to get a better tripod and Lightroom.
All this should have me set.
