How much money have you spent on your camera equipment?
Of course I also sold some things to buy things, so the actually out of pocket expenses would be about half that amount I guess.
Oh and I CAN do weddings!
Just don't like it much.
First body/lens kit - $650
First telephoto lens for crop sensor - $300
First camera bag - $50
First upgrade for a walk-around lens instead of the kit lens(used...and it sucked
) - $15050mm f/1.8 - $125
First speedlight (used) - $150
Cheap used sigma wide-angle (also sucked) - $65
Second body (used 5D) - $800
First L lens (used) - $900
Bigger speedlight (used) - $230
Telephoto lens for full frame (cheap used one since I don't use telephoto much) - $200
Second camera bag - $50
Other various items like remote shutter release, flash extension cables, softboxes/diffusers, etc - not sure how much
Given to me for free:
Nikon 35mm body with 50mm prime, 36-72 f/3.5, and 70-210 f/4
Tripod
So what I can remember comes out to about $3,670 or so.

Well I'd be in the same boat.
