Yes you need to sell 2 kidneys when you are buying phaseX and 1 kidney if you are buying Hasselblad.
For Pentax, just work overtime for a month will suffice

Hmmm.... Come to think of it, I've shot Pentax for 3 years already.. I believe you have been a longer user therefore, $100/month and finding yourself with a 645Z or whatever MF in 10yrs time, that's not too bad!
Just don't keep upgrading bodies unnecessarily.. Hee!

That CBA has to be curbed first though . . . I find that I only use a certain number of lenses and not necessarily all that I currently own. Might get rid of those I hardly use like the DA*200.

marcus, so u getting 645D or 645Z? let's do macro outing once u get it...
your 120mm macro lens has been waiting for the body far too long already
* thumbs up *
But yes.. GAS is so tough to combat! Best solution is really to have no money. LoL! Planning to lock mine away in a savings bond and still benefit from medical coverage along with it too..

Yes, that would be the ideal solution to really curb gear purchases for a time. What kind of savings is that?
this is getting interesting. convert to Singapore dollars, its sing 8853 todays exchange rate. Yen is expected go go down further and so in 2 months time its going lower and hence a cheaper Z.
Iitto, sigma 500 f4.5 aldy cost 7K. Top up a little and can have a ZZZ
:bsmilie:Any one going Osaka in 2 months time?
