Well, I came down with a bad case of Large Format Acquisition Syndrome the other night.

I got a Pacemaker Crown Graphic 4X5 off E-Bay which is in decent shape. It came with an Optar F4.7 135mm lens by Wollensak. I have 2 lenses from my Toyo 45C that will fit in the Crown.

I have a feeling that LFAS is a recurring condition and the only treatment is to buy more LF cameras.

Happy Shooting

You are fine, since you are in the early stages of the illness; you are really in trouble if you start buying larger than 4x5!

Welcome to the club:
I've had N.A.S (Nikon Acquisition Syndrome)several times and it is bad for the bank account. :D

I feel better knowing this forum is an asylum for us "livin' large" people.

Is there a cure for LAS (Leica acquisition syndrome)?
I heard it can be lethal ...

Only if your wife finds out...

As a former sufferer of NAS, LAS, HAS (Hasselblad Acquisition Syndrome), and LFAS, I can tell you the only effective medication is RLOFI (retired living on fixed income). But, all these strains of GAS remain incurable. ;)

Have fun with the Pacemaker, Moose.

I cured my GAS with BURN OUT
(I don't know which is worse)
