Hi,
poor man, I really do understand your pain.... Now, there are two ways - you either keep your mind cool and stop that crap (LOL) or you'll end up with all possible lenses, accessories etc, but empty pocket. And then they cancel MF film production...
I 'm talking my personal experience - I tried to avoid, oh' boy, I really tried. Fortunatelly, I got slightly easier form of this disease, so I could fight back Pentax Fever or Mamiya Flu and even Hasselblad Illness. I just got all available soviet Kiev-60 (manual 6x6 SLR) lenses and accessories. But afer a while it got worse again and I ended up with full Kiev-88 set as well. Now I'm a collector... Time to time, I stand against a mirror, look at my eyes and say: Hi, my name is Margus, I do collect cameras. And have to admit - I take pictures, too.
BR, Margus (Z-1p plus ca 80 other different cameras)

This medium format thing is going to be my financial undoing! The obsession has now taken full control of my mind and the compulsion that follows has now led me to buy a 645 with 75mm lens and extra 220 film carriers, another 67 lens, a converter so that I can use the 67 lenses on the 645, a couple of straps, another slave flash and another Pelican case. Today I went out and burned up three rolls of 220 on crap!
But damn it was FUN!
OOOWAAHAHAHAAAR!
Maybe there's a 12 step group for this...
Regards, Bob...
