[QUOTE="piperbarb, post: 143031, member: 12214"] Between lenses, camera bodies, and all the paraphernalia (filters, sd cards, etc.), I think I have about $8000 in photo equipment. Add to that about $1800 for my Macbook Pro, upgraded memory & hard drive plus software. It adds up pretty quickly, but once the investment is made, there is not too much in recurring costs. Now, my other main hobby, knitting and hand spinning (to make yarn), total recurring costs. I must admit, though, I do not have as much money invested in fiber and needles as I have in photo equipment. When I bring yarn home, my spousal unit just rolls his eyes. It's no worse than all his power tools and nuts, bolts & screws that he hoards in his man cave. :) [/QUOTE]
