Pretty simple, take a educated guess as to how much money you have spent on camera gear you currently own. Previous gear does not count.

*Edit* well I tried to make a nice poll but got timed out. Dang it.

Right about $10k. If you include computers, almost $20k.

I'm guessing around $9,000, because I've spent a lot on stuff I don't have listed in my sig like a bunch Sandisk Extreme cards at $220 a pop, or my set of Whibal cards that were like $80, just little stuff you don't think about...
