I sold a lot of My Canon FD gear keeping only my F1 and F1N and a couple of lenses. I sold the T90 to a guy on Nelsonfoto. As soon as it was gone I regretted it. Then by a stroke of luck he did not like it(to big for him) so I gratefully refunded and it is back where it belongs. I also bought a nice Tokina 80-200 f2.8 to use with it. I had sold most of the big glass to fund a 600mm for my Canon EF lens systems so I am bidding on a Tamron 400 f4 to use.

Oh Dear, Oh Dear.
This from a man who thinks he is immune from the disease!
Like alcohol, the first sip will lead to another ......... and another
You are on the brink of a wallet threatening, downward spiral.
You are, sad to say, becoming a ..................................... collector!
I'd sell the lot Rick and take up something to occupy your time - Golf? Chess?

Hi Ron,
I decided to cut the rate of acquiring lenses rather than to limit the numbers. I would be glad to bring the number of Rokkor glass down to 50 - but in fact there is still a slight increase.
I did resist in spending 300 € on a 2.5/180 Tamron SP last week - I wonder by myself, how I managed to keep my fingers still. Must be the figures on the bank account... the same happened for some fish eye Rokkors (but these are really horrifying expensive). But when one of these MC 2.8/21 lenses comes up again, I'll be ready for the fight ;-) I just missed a first generation MD W.Rokkor 2.8/35, which sold for only 17.5 € yesterday.
And hell, my stepson started playing golf. I can assure You that golf club collecting is by all means just as serious as lens or camera collecting. Maybe a bit more expensive, as no one seems to be willing to play second hand clubs.
Chess - OK. But You needed to forget about everything beyond those 64 fields. Never heard the reports on the behavior of these weired chess grand masters.
Best regards Peter
PS: sorry for the seduction ;-)
