I guess it gets even worse when you get more than one L lens. Especially, I think you will go without meals for about 2 to 3 years if people decide to get the 300 f/2.8L IS USM.

But to others, what I said would be a huge :nono: :nono:

Photograph in general is an expensive hobby. The bodies, the lenses, the flashes, the film or CF cards, making prints, photo-imaging software, and a fast PC and backups to process your photos all cost mucho buckos.

That said, you DON'T have to keep buying top of the line stuff. You can get by with, say, a 2nd hand, lower end flash if your body already allows you to control the flash output. That saves you easily $400 instead of the high end stuff. Same for lenses : I bought a 2nd hand 80-200/2.8L in excellent condition years ago at around $1100 when it was going for $2000 or more brand new.

For lenses, although most hobbyists dream of Canon L/Nikon ED/Leitz/Carl Zeiss/etc lenses, it's not really necessary unless you are selling your photos. When I look at my images, I never go "This must be taken by my L lens". Instead, the first thing I look for is if it's any good from the composition, sharpness and exposure point of view. If composition or subject matter is bad, then the photo is considered no further, and even if its sharp, contrasty is of little significance. Not to say that the L lenses are not worth it. They are worth every penny. But to me, the shot is important, not the lens. Many cheaper lenses do produce more than acceptable results when stopped down to, say, f8, and are even good to the casual observer wide open. I noticed that most people ( except those serious photogs with a very critical eye ) cannot really tell the diff anyway.

Also, most lenses (esp cheaper ones) are "weak" at the corners where most CA and softness appear. Good thing about DSLRs is that due to the FOV crop, only the better quality center of the image circle is captured, so you get a free improvement when using any 35mm lens.
