wowsers thought the camera was expensive:)  

Ha ha yup, told you, it can be a massively expensive hobby and a minefield of GAS, if you want to make it that way.  

The real money is always in the lenses. That Leica lens is an extreme example but those huge lenses you see the press guys at football matches using cost £1000’s too. I’ve got a decent but not top end camera and four or five lenses but I’m probably something like £10k in the hole through chasing and upgrading my gear 

What system are you using? (Sorry for minor thread tangent)

Currently a Canon full frame DSLR (5D3) with a couple of L lenses and some Sigma ones. I started out with Canon crop frame stuff. 

Bugger, never really added it up myself. I’m in for a 6D and a bunch of Ls/flash guns etc. Oh dear 

I’m counting all the upgrades over the years as part of the £10k. I started with a 30D and some EF-S lenses, but yeah it really adds up when you think about what you’ve spent. Even little things like filters are £40- 50 a pop.
