How much have you spent on photo equipment in the past 10 years?

[Tuolumne]

Here we go again. How much have you spent on photo equipment of any kind in the past 10 years? This includes dark room equipment, cameras, lenses, lights, meters, filters, etc.

I dont even want to guess that one!!
More than I would like my other half to know about!!

 

[mike goldberg]

Really now, I didn't keep a record...

If I had kept a record, I might not have spent that much

Not quite $10k, though definitely more than $5k.

A scary question, think i put the amount at the vote too low . .
Have a vague idea that I one year spend 5k usd on super8 and 16mm film and gear, and that was in 98 I´ll think, can´t believe I have improved since then

You buy some and sell some, have a trade going on soon, which gives me 2800 usd,
Quite sure they would be used for rent and food, unless I find a 1500 dollar Noctilux

You expect me to leave a document of my spending that my wife can find with a simple web search????

Which probably explains why this thread isn't moving very fast.

1000 - 5000$ is merciful!
Even with 4999$ I can still say to myself "well I am not in the highest category!"

 

[chris000]

Well I voted $5000 - 10,000 but I'm converting from pounds sterling and with the current state of the dollar I might have to return soon and revise that!

 

[back alley]

i have no idea...and i like it that way

 

[DavidH]

25k+ and then some...

Good grief!

 

[HuubL]

a couple of oldies. Can't be more then a couple of grants

 

[markinlondon]

Who's counting, it's not like I can write it off against tax or anything??

 

[Chris101]

I dunno! 25K seems about right.

 

[Al Patterson]

I won't answer as it would be too easy to find my house and steal all my equipment.

Actaully, since I buy more used stuff than new stuff, my total is one of the lower ones...

 

[x-ray]

Becaue it's a business I spend about $40,000 per year.

 

[kshapero]

Isn't it funny dear that someone at RFF would ask this question. Of course I checked off $100- $1000, dear. I know I told you only $75 over the last ten years, but they did not give me that option. You understand sweetheart. Now can I get the M8 and the three Leica lenses? I think the clerk said $9995. I guess that would put it over $100, but not that much.

 

[hopelion]

i have spend last year $ 372.-!!! I`m not a rich man.

I refuse to testify on the grounds that I might incriminate myself...
