GAS = Gear Acquisition Syndrome? I was a little confused by the post title. (Farting interrupting your stealthiness? Need to be downwind?)

Right first time. It kicks in as the dark nights and dim days draw into winter, demanding more expensive new gear with better high ISO capability, faster AF in low light and wider apertures...

Oh yes, I know it well, just not by that name. "Well, that extra boost from f1.8 to f1.4 could come in really handy someday!" And who doesn't want a $20K lens that weighs as much as a small child?

Given the choice between another small child and the $20K lens, the lens sounds like a bargain to me!

Bumper sticker idea: I don't have kids, I have lenses.

To satisfy your GAS, check this out.
