There is a difference between Need and Want. I have all I need, if I didn't I'd get what I need. There is a ton of stuff I want.

Agreed, huge difference between need and want. I also have all the cameras and lenses I need.
I've committed to not buying anything in 2014, at least no material goods. So no new camera gear, no new gadgets, no new clothing. I'm sticking with what I've got. It's helping me focus on what's important to me: my photography, friends and family, sports and travel.

Just what I was thinking. I have what I need NOW, but what about tomorrow, and the day after that, and etc. We have to think about the future, right? Constantly changing, improving technology, right? You have just convinced me that I NEED to buy more gear. Thanks, I just needed a second opinion. ;D. And more money.

In Israel, the 800mm costs 60,000+ NIS. A local shop listed the lens, and apparently whomever typed the price dropped a digit, listing it for 6,000+ NIS. Now, by law, shops in Israel are obligated to sell products for whatever price they listed, even if it's clear they've made a mistake.
Yes, I could ordered the EF 800mm f/5.6 at 10% it's price, and the courts would have forced them to deliver the lens at that price, just because an employee missed a digit.
[I know from experience - that law saved me a lot of money as a student. I've abused a local pharmacy so often, one time an employee noticed I was looking at their deals booklet and said "oh, that Dior deal should say 50% off except perfumes". The shift manager's facepalm widened my smile another inch.]
I was nice, and sent them an email to point the typo before someone screws them up. You'd think they'd send a 10 words email to say "thank you for pointing out the typo", but no - they fixed the price w/o any reply.
And that was the last of me they've ever seen.

To be honest... I think I have... I have all the gear I need. I am not, at the moment limited by my equipment, but by my own imagination!
I do not, however, have all the gear I want, nor the finances required to get it!

Yes, I did post about this and in terms of lenses, now that I have my 50L back, I stand by my statement. You'll notice that my post was just about lenses, not other gear, though. Now that the new firmware update is out for the 1DX, I would really like to get one. Alas, it's a want, not a need as is being discussed here.mrsfotografie said:
Now that I've built up a pretty serious collection, I want to spend future funds on travel, which is made easier by all of the AMEX points I've racked up buying all the gear of course!
