Hey everyone,
Ive been thinking about the ones that got away when it comes to gear and figured Id throw this out there.
Most of us have bought and sold a bunch of stuff over the yearssome sales feel totally fine, and others you kind of regret later. Sometimes its not even about sharpness or specs, just how a camera or lens felt, the way it rendered, or the memories tied to it.
For me, the one that really stings is the Leica 35mm Summilux steel rim reissue. I sold it for practical reasons at the time, but I still miss that lens a lot. The way it drew, the character, and how perfectly it sat on an M body it just had something thats hard to replace. Every now and then I catch myself wishing Id just kept it.
What about you?
Would love to hear your stories (and know Im not the only one kicking myself over a sale)

If I sell something and really miss itI can just buy another one. In actual fact I dont believe I ever regretted selling any photo equipmentbut then I really dont buy or sell much gear.

Thats a great point. Im definitely guilty of romanticizing gear. Even though I know theyre ultimately just tools, I often find myself forming a real attachment to a specific piece based on the mindset or memories I had while using it.
