After reading this post and the DPReview post mentioned in this post (
https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-slr-lens-discussion/35787-practice...sible-lba.html), I really think that I need to take a break from buying lenses for a while. Therefore, I am not planning on buying any more lenses this year and spending that time really getting to know the ones I have.
If anybody cares to join me, that would be wonderful, as we could be our own little support group--safety in numbers.
We can hold each other accountable in cases where someone's fingers are tempted to click the "place order", "bid now", or "buy it now" buttons.
While this doesn't apply to me, I suspect that there are some of you LBAers out that need to get rid of lenses, as opposed to buying more. Earlier tonight, I responded to a posting where the OP asked whether he should buy a much-desired lens or some useful camera accessories. While I won't mention any names, this person already has 19 lenses, plus a TC. For those of you in this boat, you can put the proceeds from your lens sales away from safekeeping. You might be surprised at how much you might be able to accumulate.
For those of you who wish to join me, I'm curious to find out your experiences as you actually use the lenses that you already have. I'll be happy to share mine, as well.
Note--This does not apply to other camera gear, like bodies, tripods, bags, etc.--
just lenses.
I can't help but wonder if some of you are going to get together privately and place bets on whether or not I can do this.

LBAers--come to your senses and accept my challenge!
