>I shot with all the expensive cameras in the world
>A Leica and expensive lens which is basically just a full frame camera with an expensive lens.
>The Fuji MFD which is like the APS-C of MFD

He left out Phase One/Hasselblad MFD's, oops.

>instead of buying new cameras, buy experiences
Or you could buy both. Because when you buy a nice camera or lens, you're not paying the camera company to make your photos better. You're investing in longevity and ease of use for your own sake. You might as well get the tool that you feel the most comfortable with shooting, and if you can afford the nicer thing, just buy it. At least in my case, the best cure for "Gear Acquisition Syndrome" was to simply acquire the gear I wanted the most at the time. Then I stopped caring about it.

I already shoot photos every day anon.

Getting an absurdly expensive camera cured my gear acquisition syndrome.

Any time a new high-end digital camera comes out I check the photos it makes on flickr. And while it might have some cool new features, I realize that it will never make images that are as pleasing.

Two years later and the Sony 33x44mm sensor still has the best combination of resolution and dynamic range of any camera.

>caring what other people care about
>being under the impression your views are important
>watching youtube videos of successful people telling you how to be succesful so you can shitpost about it on 4chan
>trying to justify being a poorfag with shit gear

Lol, stay insignificant, poorfag.

>>3070658
What he meant was to not overreach your budget.
Like everything in life it's about balance.

How come people with the best gear do such terrible work? I've so often seen that case.

>>3070670
>why do people with the best gear take the worst photos

Confirmation bias.

Search any camera on flickr and an abundance of fucking awful shots pop up.

>don't overreach
Don't imply what my budget is, or what's affordable to me. If I don't flinch at the cost of my private parking space in central london, I'm probably not going to care if my camera is 'overpriced' or 'more than I need'.

You don't need to eat anything but rice and tofu, but you do, despite it being no better for you and costing much more.

>>3070673
So if your pocket money is that high, why are you here and not seeking professional help? Rather than being here, shouldn't you be somewhere shooting topless bimbos in your fancy flat in central London then?

>>3070669
>pretending to be Mr. Rich on an anonymous forum

stay stupid, fucktard

>>3070675
>>3070677

And here's what the gearfag argument boils down to.

Why are you angry at me because I have more money than you and qualify different things as affordable?

If you were that conscientious why are you not donating everything you have to those that are worse off than you?

Ah, because it's petty jealousy.

Also, I don't have a flat in central London, I have a house just west of central, also not terrific value for money, but a heck of a lot better than a parking spot in Soho.

Also, what do I need professional help for? I'm not the one having a meltdown over how a stranger leads his life ;)

Nobody is mad but you. Turning it around now is not how it works. I haven't studied medicine for too long, but what I can assure you is that your mental state is delusional.

>>3070689
>Nobody is mad but you

>stay stupid, fucktard
>why are you here and not...
>projecting health conditions

Lol.

Stay mad.

I'm gonna go buy some stuff.

>I'm gonna go buy some stuff.
And with that young Moopco stomped off to Tesco to get two tins of baked beans and a loaf of bread. As he went he could be heard muttering to himself "Why oh why won't they believe me ... just wait till that new Sony comes out ... That will show them!" But as we all know, it wont.
