My name is Whelmed, and I too have an addiction.
It's been 24 hours since my last lens purchase
12 hours since my last photograph
... For what it's worth, I'm happy you passed on the 10-20mm as I got it in the end

I'm finding that the LBA is slowing down as I've got most of the glass I want now. I wouldn't mind a 28-50mm, 35mm, 100mm, or any K series lenses but I've got most of the common ones worth owning.

I spent ages hunting for a special lens but Gareth outbid me yesterday so I have to start again!
Best wishes,

My name is Tim, and I am also suffering from LBA Although thankfully it seems to be subsiding somewhat as since getting the Sigma 70-200 I'm not really lusting after anything at the moment. Having said that it is still less than 48 hours since my last lens purchase! (A £20 cheapie!) And I wouldn't say no to a £99 1.4x Sigma TC

LBA, whats that, never heard of it
I worked out that I have owned or own every DA lens, except the DA*200 and the DA*55 1.4 and that includes all the Ltds and a large portion of Takumars, K,M,A,F and FA lenses. Is that what LBA means :

I currently only have two lenses, and no body to put them on.
I pledge to get this resolved quickly though (K20d on its way, a couple of lenses to be purchased this week )

If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.

Yes. Exactly that.

Clarky, this is a thread for the guilty not the smug (been there bought the A*Tshirt (in S,M,L,XL and the rare XXLaf never worn, in box, with receipt,got it cheap in a garage sale )). You can't be tempted as you have everything.

Sorry, didn't mean too gloat
I'll take the M size T shirt if it's available.

It is 30 minutes since my last lens purchase.
It is 3 hours since my last body purchase (£20!).
It is 18 hours since my last photograph.
I have blown the idea of saving for a 10-20mm and have to start again. The guilt is saturated like the ceiling in a William Eggleston photo.
1. I promise to classified and ebay the unused kit I have.
2. I promise to use all my pentax lenses and bodies in the next 7 days. (note Pentax otherwise I'd be in trouble)
