It started innocently enough. I just wasn't feeling the thrill with my DSLR. The images were great (or at least as great as they could be with me behind the camera). But the joy of use that I felt with my X100 was not there. And then I started looking back through my flickr stream and ran across a stretch of photos I had taken over a year ago with my old X-Pro1. They leaped off the page. That was it.....I knew I had to re-get the X-Pro1. I checked the forums and no one was giving one away. Then I peeked in on eBay. I spotted one that had just been listed. A few days later I had it...... and the 18mm lens they were selling along with it. I quickly traded the unwanted 18 and a little cash for the 35mm I coveted.
So I was good.... I had the 2 pieces I REALLY missed. But I needed a little extra for variety.....right? Then, I found a used 18-55.....and then a 55-200. Sweet. Now I'm done.
And then I started thinking about what a hassle it can be to change lenses out in the field. I know X-E1s are dirt cheap on the used market. I check eBay quick and see one that was just listed and "priced to sell". And sell it did...... should be here early next week.
It's been a whirlwind couple of weeks. Luckily all my Pentax stuff has found new homes, so it didn't really cost me anything. But I gotta quit it. Seriously.....I'm good now. Although if a used 56mm shows up in the low $700 range, I can not be held responsible for my actions. But really I just to start saving for the future 150-400mm.
