I have gone a little berserk, at least thats what the missus is tellng me. This week I've bought a
K110D,
F 70-210,
FA 28-200,
DA 18-55,
SMC M 28 F2.8,
2- SMC M 50mm f2,
ME Super,
Program Plus,
2-Flashes
and a couple cases.
In the last few weeks I've purchased
Makinon 28-80,
Takumar 28mm f2.8,
ME Super,
SMC M 200mm f4,
SMC A 50mm 1.7,
and another SMC M 50mm f2.

Out of pocket its less than $350, finding stuff at thrift shops. I'm hoping to resell some of them for a little profit to purchase a 50mm f1.2 and a DA 18-250mm.

When I first started shopping I wanted to try them all out. Only buying what I thought I needed, boy was I wrong! It seems like I NEEDED to TRY EVERYTHING! I can't wait to find some limiteds!!!

If you find some Limited's in a thirft store. Don't tell anyone but me. Enjoy the doghouse. Course there's always 1-800-flowers

This is very amazing list for one week. looks like my LBA is not bad at all. It is more that a month since my lens purchase so maybe I am healing..

The Kurly One · 04-08-2010, 02:22 PM

Its been spectacular! The K110D came with 2 lenses F 70-210, DA 18-55 a flash and a case... I may have overpaid... is $100 too much?

axl · 04-08-2010, 02:34 PM

YES!

just get the best lens in each category you want to use and you are done with LBA!

good luck

That is not even bargain, it's almost a robbery. I could pay $100 for F 70-210 only.

The complete lack of used photography equipment here is most dismal. Man I would love a visit to a big N. American city.

The Kurly One · 04-08-2010, 03:38 PM

Now if I could only really learn to use this stuff!

edumad · 04-08-2010, 04:01 PM

I thought I had found the cure, intensify the disease...
Get lenses, try them out, keep the better ones (until better come round) and sell the rest to finance more lenses.

I ran into the same problem as you. Buying is easy, selling not so much...

But minimizing packages is the best way to avoid problems, that is ... if you than can prevent the misses from finding them out :P

TOUGEFC · 04-08-2010, 04:05 PM

wow thats alot! How long you in the dog house for? Lol

amoringello · 04-08-2010, 04:11 PM

Curable? Certainly. I've been cured many times!

Although sadly, I think your case is too serious and is beyond help. I'm jealous. :-)

That is excellent advice.

The Kurly One · 04-08-2010, 07:42 PM

I'm slowly working towards that! I love the 28mm I got today! This is the first pic I took with it... JPEG and no editing...

Or you could buy her a new lens....or two.

Try buying a boat, that will cure LBA really quick!! think hole in the water.....

Pentaxor · 04-08-2010, 10:28 PM

it's cureable alright. but just like the common cold, it mutates into a new strain and you go back full circles again.
