Do you ever suffer episodes of high GAS?

Does the cinema line FX30 count? Should I count my GoPro?

There's a reason my screen name is 2manycamera...

Been away on vacation so was interested where this thread has gone. I do consider myself a Minolta collector so I have a few.
But Sony, both A&FE mounts, have become more numerous on my shelves and in my camera bags.

5 E mount cameras, 2 FF, 3 aps-c.
15 lenses

4 digital A mount bodies, 2 FF, 2 aps-c, including my Maxxum 7D converted to IR.
16 Minolta film bodies, from my 1st Maxxum 7000 to the Maxxum 9
32 Minolta & Sony A mount lenses

9 Minolta SR mount cameras, includes my 2nd SRT-101 from 1971 (first one was stolen) and the XK-M my wife gave me as an engagement present.
18 Minolta SR lenses, about 6-7 third party brands I didn't count

WAY too much other stuff, Konica-Minolta A2, VECTIS bodies and lenses, 35mm rangefinders, all the yellow Weathermatics, and a Autocord.

I've sold a fair amount of stuff, but it's really hard to part with so much of this because I've formed an attachment. And fun.

I don't think there is a TTArtisans 55/1.4. Do you mean the 50/1.4 ASPH? Lovely lens, bought in M-mount for that M3 - before I found out the Leica 50/2.8 "versenkbar" that came with it was fine. The TTArtisan 50/1.4 ASPH is classic (some glow wide open, stop-down to f/2.8 for better results). Compared to modern lenses it lacks some sharpness, but it is sharper and better behaved wide open then the old A-mount Sony/Minolta 50/1.4. One weird thing: if t]you stop down it seems the colour balance changes - have to do more testing on that one...

Well, at least it wasn't a camera this time!

I think I will be able to avoid episodes of GAS for a bit longer. Two months in China starting late next week, should deter any new purchases.

Nope, it has never occurred for me

I thought I had clearly illustrated that GAS is not happening here
Now, if Sony someday enters the MF market….

Will be comparing my Sigma 100-400mm to a Sigma 150-600mm, both from the Contemporary series Tomorrow.

We'll see what will happen. I guess the longer one is much heavier .
