I doubt I'll even see that much money pass through my hands in my entire lifetime. But not gonna lie, if I was in a better financial situation I'd probably be dropping a lot of money on gear. Not THAT much, but I'd certainly have more than what I've got.

The cost for the gear doesn't bug me, but the SIXTY grand sales tax? Another reason I don't live in a sales tax state....... :angry:

Why so serious?

This kind of conspicuous consumption is dismaying to me. I hope this person is equally generous to charitable causes.

Closest ive come to this is when Hasselbald gave me $50K worth of gear to play with for a couple of shoots , and yes IMHO it was worth every penny

OMG, Exposure tours brings up a good point. Imagine what your insurance coverage would cost for this gear! :pinch: You'll need to take a second mortgage out just to pay for insurance :rofl:

I would take the rest to sell. I don't need all that stuff.

Well about the only thing I saw in the list that I had a half interest in was the HP printer, but that was only because of the size. I am not sure I would go with an HP though, because I have never had great luck with their junk, errrr.... I mean fine products.
For a MF/LF camera I ould go with a Red One with an f-mount.
