Hmmm... I wonder if this explains why I never got married....I've got to show this thread to my wife...
"I love my Verito lens, but I always have to sharpen everything in Photoshop..."
Well, at least I know WHY I can never find one of those old lens or win one on that site...between Jim, Mark and Will (and I think Ole might have a lens or 2 sitting around as well - seem to recall a photo of his lens collection looking something like Mark's)
Oh, well it left me with enought $ to have a Ritter Camera made (not a bad deal after all)
You're obviously not married (or if you are you won't be for long). : - )

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do criticize them you'll be
a mile away and you'll have their shoes.
More like Will's, but less well organised:

That picture is a little out of date, but there will be a new one coming as soon as I've got www.casket-set.com online. That will hopefully be in a few weeks, but in the meanwhile I'm concentrating on that when I'm not working.
My "accumulation" is more of the "yes, I've got one of those" variety: There seems to be one of every major type, one of every focal length, one of every age, and one of a surprising number of very obscure lenses. That's why if someone has a question about something really obscure (and German), it's quite possible that "yes, I've got one of those".
In the meanwhile here are some convertible Symmars - the 150mm was hiding from this picture, I found it later inside the Gandolfi Variant!
Told my wife I thought she needed a new dinning room hutch. She asked if had a another style in mind. I showed her this picture and said "Just like this one"
Somehow she didn't find the humor I was hoping for
Congrats on both of your passions!
Mark,
there seems to be something in the desert air that fosters (infects?) lens owners. There are at least a couple others in Tucson with more lenses than we can use in a month...or so. My brass ones:
Being a teacher is hardly lucractive, at least when you're starting out....
I'm looking at my empty bank account right now.
I showed this to my wife so she'd quit bitching and moaning about how much gear I buy.
All I succeeded in was getting a stern warning to to get THAT carried away. We gotta get together some day, Mark. I'll bring a couple of the textbooks I wrote and you can tell me you don't want to use them, and then I can write the expenses off on my taxes.
Re: Old lenses have turned me into an equipment geek...
My husband doesn't want another camera to show up in the house. But I only want one more! I suspect if I try that one, I'll have to sell some stuff. It might actually be worth it though.
