rose_duclos Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Since the game begins today and we should keep track of this - who's playing? I know Hin suggested it and seems pretty gungho from all the posts he's written, this past week. Who else will be joining him. I will... 1. Hin Man. 2. Rose Duclos 3. ? 4. ? 5. ? others? Let's begin the list here, and that way we can monitor each other's progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgredline Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Wow, to July 15th..That is kinda of long. Let me see what I can buy today and start tomorrow.... Just kidding, I am in #4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
personalphotos Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 #5 I'm in no $$$ left (spent it all on the weekend - no kidding) and the kit is in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abe_hollander Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I don't think I post enough to even count, but I'm in. The DA* 50-135 and DA* 16-45 (the only 2 lenses I can imagine on my list) will take me many months to save for. I can live with my kit, my FA 50, and my Sigma 70-300 APO for quite awhile (like I have a choice). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jptreen Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I could not play, and try to play tempter with photos of lovely lenses I've just bought, and the lovely bokeh they produce... ...but that's far too expensive, I have not been here very long at all, but count me in!

miserere_mei Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I would be in...but I just cannot give up my eBay watch list. Sorry guys! There is also an auction I'm watching that ends in a few days and I would *really* like to win. But I'll be sure to stop in and let you know about all the awesome deals I get. Just kidding! I fully support your cause, guys. And remember, *I'm* the one who hasn't bought any lenses in ~40 days :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose_duclos Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Ok John Paul, I'm putting together a list - and being here long or not - you're now committed to 'playing' our 3 month hiatus-challenge. - you're player #8. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abe_hollander Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I forgot about the "no watch-list" rule... lemme go knock that out now. I can still have my monopod watch-list, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose_duclos Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Abe, just no watching lenses and cameras. the other equipment is open season. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny_wong2 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I will join as soon as I am finished buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose_duclos Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Danny, that sounds rather wishy washy - you must give a date to start - if it's not in keeping with our 'competition' standards - Or I won't put you on the list. If I did, every purchase you made would deserve considerable nagging from the rest of us - and, we'd probably have to prepare a punishment for your crimes... When will you finish 'buying' exactly?

14mm 2.8l Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Sorry but, please don't assign me a number. With ya'll out of the ebay auction insanity I'll be able to score a bargain or two. Though I know why you pick'd July 15th cause on August 1st or soon after you get shot at one of these: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/539403-REG/Tamron_AF001P_700_70_200mm_f_2_8_Di_LD.html Lindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerdaltx Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I just pulled the trigger on a FA 31mm limited this morning... Guess I'm already out game ;) (GAWD...I hope it's worth it...) The FA 77mm limited is not too far behind, then I'll be done, really I'll be done.... I can stop any time I want...I don't have a problem... You know I've been thinking that DA 18-250.... sure would make a great walk around vacation lens. There were a lot of casual shots I missed in Florida last weekend because I didn't have the range covered... hummmmm.... OK the 77mm limited then the DA 18-250, then I'll be really done.... yea, yea that's the plan.... /Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose_duclos Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 a_hem... you do realize that this particular forum entry is to list the people WHO are taking a break from LBA... (As if those 'non-competitors' aren't obvious enough in their desire to rub our noses in it... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shots worth sharing Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I'm going to keep my options open. I figure the prices for top-notch lenses is going to plummet if you guys stick to your vows. If a serious upgrade presents itself at a great price, I'm going for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snik75 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I'm in. Just didn't have time to post last night. Master of my domain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose_duclos Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 Ok, Nick - I believe you're 9 on our list. I don't believe our group are really going to 'lower the prices on lenses at ebay' Dave... WE may shop - but not THAT much... Day 1 today... be strong folks. If anyone asks you to look at any glass, or tells you about a sale - please don't look... I don't want to be the only one crossing the finish line, in July. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abe_hollander Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Rose, you're soooooooo safe with me. My allowance total might be enough to pawnshop with some of these playas, but the priority is just not there.

davidmantilla Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I'm in... I keep torturing myself by checking out ebay once a day (down from every 2 hrs), so i'm on the right track... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrummey Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I haven't purchased anything in the past 48 hours so can I join too. I do contribute here, if somewhat irregularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmantilla Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 not to be pessimistic, but where do we post when we are no longer masters of our domain? will there be a separate thread for non-masters of their domains?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff_baur Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Cout me out. With Spring scheduled to appear here in Maine later in May, I am looking at getting a macro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snik75 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Perhaps as each of YOU drop (not me, right? :-) one should post "I'm out" or similar with pics of new gear, and photos with it. Just to up the ante for those still in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
