Seems to be a hoarder. Yeah It is also said you can never have too many
guitars but they take up more space. It is an excuse to not have to
make hard decisions. Something I am confronted with now. My camera and
lens buying spree needs to be subsidized with the sale of some owned
gear. I may have a 77/1.8 up for sale soon.

I often browse through a travel/vacation message board forum; one of the many
sub-forums within the site is centered on travel photography, and one of the
continuing threads there is “List Your Cameras.” As I understand it, this is a
holdover from early days and was intended to facilitate finding someone else
with the same camera gear if/when you needed someone knowledgeable to give you
some help with a camera question.
Anyway, I was struck by this person’s collection (including the Pentax gear
which makes this a bit less OT…) There have been comments here on PDML recently
about buying/selling gear vs. holding onto the old, and I thought this example
might nicely illustrate one person’s struggle with this issue.
