p.1 #1 · Anybody done buying?

Is there anyone out there who is not in the market for anything. With my recent purchase of a low click 1DSMK2 I would like to think I am. I have all the lenses I want, all the lighting equipment I need. I would like to think I am done. Has anyone here gone more than 6 months w/o buying anything?

No. I just bought into a Contax G film set up for B+W.

Assuming your gear list is up to date, you still need a fast wide prime (alas 24/1.4) for your ballroom dancing group shots.

I really should dispose of some equipment before buying more. The cupboards are filling up and there is a 200-400/4 with my name on it come December.

Yes I had done buying when I got my 10D. Wait damn it - then I got my 5D and decided that one is the last one.....

Buying for now YES!!! With the economy in shambles and I am nearing retirement, the DsMKII I bought last Fall is my last BUY. Now selling is another matter. I am always in the market for something BUT......do I need it

? Probably not. My arsenal is full.

My last purchase was a Canon 24-105/4, this was in November 2006, more than 18 months ago.

Sometimes I really think I'm done buying. Now if it weren't for these AF problems with the 1DIII....

Always think I am done...keyword think. Friend was selling a used tripod at a good price that found its way into the gear collection. Now the ballhead is ordered. Tacked on another column for giggles and grins lol.

Glass, good deal on a fisheye came up here, NAS strikes again lol. Have good coverage up to 200mm now. But go to local autocross and drifting events, putting off getting up to the 300+ range to get up close and personal without being on the track. For how long, who knows...

Although X-mas is jsut around the corner

Yes, because I'm too cheap to go digital.

I haven't bought a camera body or lens yet in 2008. Does this mean I am cured?

I am not really in the market for anything either and in a month or so I will group a few bits and bobs together and put them up for sale. I am even considering parting with my trusted 1D2N.
