Worse than Cocaine, worse than heroin - 03-17-2008, 06:36 AM

NAS! Yes, Nikon Acquisition Syndrome! Its horrible, you walk into a camera store, and hear them calling to you, that sensual whisper in your ear: "Buy me, you know you want me, and you can HAVE me..." The horror, the horror, and after the last hit, you know you say; "Thats it for me, no more", then you turn the corner, or load the page, and there it is staring at you. You feel the sweat start, the longing, the craving for JUST ONE MORE LENS! You smuggle that new lens into the house in a plain brown wrapper, you tearfully deny that you have a new lens, and then, in the end, you admit it; You have NAS. Well Buddy, I ain't going on no twelve step program, I like it here!

BTW I am thinking of selling my 4x5 equipment, that 14-24mm is calling to me......

NAS is like a mild cold compared to Leica Lust....

Leica Lust is the Ebola of small gear cravings.

My name is David, and I have NAS. My latest ordeal is B&H sends me emails and even then I'm not quick enough to order the 24-70mm f/2.8 AF-S Nikkor zoom lense with exclusive nano crystal coating technology, silent wave motor, and extra-low dispersion elements.

Don, is there a 12 step program for this that you can share? I always say "that's it, this time I really mean it, I'm done" and yet eventually I get weak and I fall right back into it.

My name is Chris and I have NAS...

Current NAS obsession is the 17-35 (since I own the 35-70mm 2.8) and a just received my 70-300 VR today.

After the 17-35, I will probably need the 14mm.
