[AndrewBird]

Man, I thought I spent a lot until I read this thread.

$8,567.91 since 2006. 272 orders.

39 orders just this year though. That's an order about ever 3 days.

I love that lens. Great for portraits and bugs. Not my #1, but still.

Most used lens is probably my 50mm 1.2L. 16-35 f2.8L gets used a lot. 24-70 f2.8P not as much as I would have thought. Same as the 100-400. Maybe with a proper gimbal

My 16-35mm was on my camera for 2 months straight taking a lot of landscapes. I've since come to really appreciate my 35mm f/1.4. So sharp!!! It's currently my walk around.

Honestly though the 24-105mm isn't my favorite lens, but has the most use with my family. Focal length is just so versatile chasing the kids around.

Is the quality that much better on the 50mm 1.2 vs the nifty fifty 1.8? I know it most probably is, but the 1.8 is so dirt cheap! Maybe I should rent one. What do you primarily shoot on the 50 1.2? I also have the 85mm f1.8, is it worth adding to my collection?

I shoot most everything with the 50 1.2. I have a couple of 1.8s, and the 1.4. I have to say that I really hate the 1.8. Noisy and slow. The 1.4 is a pretty decent little lens actually. The 1.2 is heavy but shooting wide open give the best portraits. Great for capturing kids. I rarely take it off of 1.2.

The 24-105 is not my favorite at all. I have four bodies so that usually ends up on one that a friend is shooting with. They seem to like it.

I often think about the 35mm and 85mm 1.2. Haven't ever worked with either. Maybe I will grab a loaner at the next Canon event I shoot.

Seems people either love or hate the 50mm 1.2. My suggestion would be to try it. The sharpness of a centered subject with the dramatic bokeh surrounding them makes the images pretty special.

Do you have a flickr or website? I'd love to see some of your 1.2 shots.

beatport needs to add this feature lol

Not bad for me: $13,793 but I buy my cameras and lenses there.

Would love to have that money back though haha.

[MrBurgundy]

These amounts are blowing my mind!

The only things I buy on amazon is backpacking gear, since sport chalet closed down and rei prices are a joke. I've spent 1k in 4 years.

Seems like photography is a really expensive hobby

[ST1G]

Not as bad as I thought. 327 orders since Jan '06. $11,670.00.

You do go through a lot of lube. Surprised the total is so low.

I didn't believe it when people told me. I thought I would keep it simple with 1 or 2 decent lenses. I said I didn't need L lenses. Yeah right.

Heh, yeah. The bodies and lenses aren't the only things that add up. Lighting, Pelican cases, stands, tripods, it all adds up.

I still need to get some backdrop stands and backdrops, I would like some strobes, a good three axis gimbal and a large lightweight tripod. I have a large heavy and a compact lightweight. Getting the best of both worlds is expensive though.

Batteries, chargers, proper remote shutter releases, field monitors. It all adds up. But when I go out and have fun with it and see the images I get I realize how worth it it is.

Truly does, I started with one sigma art lens and I ended up having half their art lens lineup. I have their 24, 35, 50, and 85. I want the 20 and the 135 in the future.

I have a 3 axis gimbal that I wanna sell since I don't shoot much videos as it is. It's the TurboAce Allsteady 6.

What are the chances my wife is on Amazon right now...
