This has to do with the functionality of my image making and really hits me where it hurts. Once I get an upgrade down I feel I have to redo any image I've previously made as they are coming out much better now. My Nikon system started in October 1972 when I was 21 that's 40 Year's & 3 Month's ago and since than I have gone through a dozen bodies and a room filled with glass. Half the camera bodies I still have and use.. That act of buying another body or a lens and how that affected my fragile ego never got near to the point. I was always looking to my next image not my next camera system.
