Good morning, Chris;

I am involved in a related activity at this time; performing an inventory of all of the things I have already. This task is turning out to be time consuming, and perhaps embarrassing. The length of the computer file is impressive.

Ridiculous stocks of paper (b&w and colour) and chems.
When one of the Profs in the College where I teach retired, (he taught photography), he called me to his office and said (while pointing to the shelves stocked with photography books) `help yourself`. I left with 5 boxes of books.

Do you want this year's GAS or a cummulative total? Like Ralph, cataloguing everything I have is a very time consuming task. To keep the list manageable, I'll just do the last two months:

Top-RF Crown Graphic 4x5
Ektar 127mm lens

Nikkor-SW 90mm f8
3 Grafmatics
Calumet C-2 roll film back
2 lens boards (flat & deep) for a Graphic View
Canon Motor Drive MA (to replace mine which has a damaged film rewind lever)
Graflex RB Series D 4x5
Manhattan Optical Cycle Wizard B 4x5
Exacta VX with 50mm f3.5 Tessar
Zenit-C with 50mm f3.5 Industar-50

This is awesome! I thought I was insane to have a list sitting on my computer. But since you all do it, I'll post my own later.

I have wanted a Hassie for years, but I've noticed that KEH has the smallest inventory of medium format cameras and lenses etc. at the moment that I've ever seen there. So...there isn't even much to fantasize about. Rats! :(

This season's GAS only. My list is for February alone. It seems there are a couple of cumulative totals here. Though if not then I'm doing something horribly wrong.
