Har jag drabbats av NAS eller inte?


Nikon Acquisition Syndrome:
"NAS is normally characterised by the fatal first step of acquiring or inheriting a Nikon camera. It really doesn't matter which model. Once you have your first Nikon, you're hooked."
(http://www.iol.ie/~corkflor/nas.html)

Enligt definitionen ovan så har jag det, men sen hittade jag det som står nedan i ett fotoforum och inser att jag har en bit kvar då jag bara har ett fast Nikkor 50/1.8 AFD.

The 7 levels of NAS:

(Level 1) You've set your mind on a Nikkor 50/1.8 AFD, but ended up buying that *and* the 50/1.4 AFD, because you heard it was better.

(Level 2) Graduating from Level 1, you've sold the 50/1.8 AFD, because you heard it was made in China. Shortly after, you picked up the 50/1.8 AF version, which was made in Japan.

(Level 3) Realizing your error, you buy the 50/1.8 AFD (Chinese version), just so you could compare it against your 50/1.8 AF version. You end up keeping both.

(Level 4) You're starting to wonder how the AF Nikkors stack against the manual focus AIS bretherns. You buy the 50/1.4 AIS, and 50/1.8 AIS derivatives. You keep all 4 50's.

(Level 5) Just to be sure, you add the 50/1.4 AI, 50/1.8 AI and 50/2 AI, because they can be bought for peanuts. The 45/2.8P, 55 Micro Nikkors (3.5 and 2.8 version), 60/2.8 AFD join the arsenal.

(Level 6) You got to have faster glass. You first purchase the 50/1.2, then the 55/1.2, and then the 58/1.2 Noct Nikkor. You spend sleepless nights photographing brick walls, Financial Times double spreads, and USAF resolution charts. You contemplate which filters, hoods, and close up accessories best complement each lens.

(Level 7) You apply all earlier levels to any Nikkor out there, F-mount to Large format.


Hur som helst så har jag numera bytt ut mitt Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8D ED-IF AF-S Zoom-Nikkor och igår köpt ett nytt Nikon 70-200 f2.8 AFS VR IF-ED.

Lite NAS är väl bara naturligt som fotointresserad. ;)

Dessutom skulle det vara svårt att ta de bilderna som jag vill ta med den utrustning jag hade när jag började med digital systemkamera eller ännu tidigare med vanlig systemkamera.
