this is me holding a camera from the 70s. the body, the lens, the flash, all older than i am. the oldest, also the cheapest; free. it still works, too, that's the crazy thing. but it gets used 0% of the time.. well, .01% if you count it as a prop in this shot.
so, i'm going to attempt to total my costs for photography since july of this year [trying for chronological order, too]:
- sony alpha a100k: $650.00
- minolta xtsi, minolta 50mm f1.7, and minolta 28-85mm f3.5-4.5: $80
- adata 2gb cf card: $35.00
- minolta 50mm f2.8 macro: $235.00
- minolta rc-1000 cable release: $15.00
- calumet photo bag: $60.00
- calumet medium tripod with head: $110.00
- minolta 70-210mm f4 beercan: $100.00
- tiffen haze-1 filter for 55mm thread: $10.00
- hoya uv filter for 55mm thread: $10.00
- sunpak uv filter for 55mm thread: $10.00
- minolta 135mm f2.8: $100.00
- cokin filter system with yellow and orange filter: $25.00
- minolta maxxum 7 film body with vc-7 grip: $375.00
- konica-minolta 5600hs-d flash: $250.00
- minolta rc-1000L cable release: $15.00
- manfrotto 190xprob tripod: $150.00
- induro sa23 ball head: $80.00
- sony 16-80mm f3.5-4.6 carl zeiss: $660.00
- heliopan es 6 uv filter for 62mm thread: $45.00
that's not even including film, paper, developing costs, or even tax..
anything in orange indicates a good deal, yellow indicate incredible deals, and black is.. meh. the way i shop, i'm never in a position to get raped on a product. overspending is a no-no, and to think i dropped a good 3Gs on photography and its accessories makes me a little nauseous..
can i be stopped?
