    The death of a gear whore.....

    I just realized there is only one piece of gear I really want, the 280/4.0 APO Telyt-R. It's sort of the empty feeling I had when I got the last item published by H. Beam Piper. A little of the pleasure died. Not there aren't more lenses and bodies out there but none offer any challenge. I...
