what exactly do you people count? 15K is a lot of money so i am wondering what exactly do you add up when you find the number...

I'm counting everything that aids me with photography, or is a tool I use. Cf cards, bodies, lenses, bags, tripods, monopods, etc.


Canon EOS 30D, Sigma 30 1.4, Sigma 10-20, Sigma 105 Macro, 135L, 430ex, Lowepro Mini Trekker AW, Manfrotto 3001pro w/486rc2 and 804rc2 head, Manfrotto 681 w/ 3232 head.

I didn't even think about bags, tripods, etc. I don't even know why. I just added up bodies, lenses, flashes, strobes, and CF.

Heh. I guess when you start out all the accesories look like a big deal, but when you get deeper in it's a very small percentage.

Right now it is showing just over 85K and that doesn't include computers or software which is pretty siginificant right now.

Where's Petkal? I want a spending-duel to the death.
