It's all a GAS: Gear Acquisition Syndrome

TimG · 13 hours ago13 hr

I came across the following article by By David Clapp, published on 31 July 2025 in Digital Camera World. Worth a read, I thought! "It’s getting near that time again - as September means a new iPhone. Then there’s a new Android. Then it’s the turn Fujifilm / Canon / Nikon / Sony / Panasonic etc - all of them use tried and tested strategies stretching back as far as the 1930s to make you, the consumer, feel dissatisfied with the equipment you own. Let’s be frank, you are a subliminal and anonym

Mafia Island is not difficult to reach via international flights from Vienna/Austria to Dar es Salaam/Tanzania. From there, t

The strobe is a bit larger than the AOI RC strobes, and a bit smaller than the YS D3 Duo. The strobe is machined aluminum and appears to be very solidly built
