This hobby, I swear!

[weebee]

I've owned my D3100, which is my first DSLR, for almost 4 months now. I can't believe how much I've bought so far. This is worse then my watch collecting! Somebody help me! This picture doesn't include the filters, wide angle and tele converter lenses, the packs, the batteries, and the stuff I already upgraded. Lord, do I love this.

Is that all you've got? I'm thinking of lining up all my kit, but first I need to get a wide-angle lens ...

Welcome to the club. You should have stayed with golf or tennis. I heard collecting stamps is cheaper!

Think of it this way. It is cheaper than collecting hand guns or riffles.

It is an addiction, we need a therapy group

 

[gqtuazon]

I can be your therapist. However, I do not consider what your spouse might say about my recommendations. LOL!

That's very true. I used to collect long guns. Got out of that years ago.

Probably not! She's tolerant to a point.

Has anyone admitted to their significant other just how much they've spent on this hobby?

I guess I am lucky in the fact that I only have to justify each purchase to myself lol. But yes I have a nice collection of camera gear, and it keeps on building.

I've admitted to about 50%

Not so much on the stamp collecting: British Guiana stamp could fetch $20m, says Sotheby's

Yeah, mine is pretty tolerant. She just shakes her head when boxes show up now.

You went through the watch collecting thing too?

 

[Whiskeyman]

Isn't it time you changed to full frame? Either the D800E or D800? Of course, you'll need a ton of new glass for the FX format...

Does that help?

I'll admit I've had a lens or two just pop up in my collection without any formal introductions to my wife.

Maybe a camera body as well.

Once you have a few lenses it's easy to sneak in a new one, after all, they all look the same

What are you? Nuts? She knows a bit by the packages that arrive.

I still collect watches. Just bought another last week.
