Many cheap, or few expensive?

[mynameisjizeng]

hello hello,

jus out of curiosity..
how many of you would rather spend on more expensive (and better quality) products, even though you would get less variety of stuff? like lenses/filters/accessories?

or would you rather buy cheaper and poorer quality stuff, but get MORE of such things?

i realize that after taking up photog for abt half a year, im beginning to sell off alot of my (slightly) lousier stuff and buying pro stuff. even though it means selling off alot just to buy one or two things. haha.

your 2 cents.


regards,
jizeng

Seems you have see the "light"

That's why some people here "advise" others to get the Best lens first before camera body.
but sometimes been "told off" for advising, so let with no choice to let them experience the loss.

Don't you feel good, when using the better quality "products"?

 

[mynameisjizeng]

haha.. sort of. except the pain on my wallet.

i feel more compelled to take photos and actually USE the stuff i buy, since i've spent so much on them. haha.

quality of results speak for themselves.. haha

I just get something that I will most probably use, doesn't have to be the best or worse...

Know what you need, want & will use. Then buy a good or best quality. Wallet pain once initially and it wun hurt again, knowing that you'll be keeping and enjoying your investment for a long time to come! :thumbsup:

*Can be applied to lens, filters, tripod, head etc* :bsmilie:

Part of growing... if you never experience lousy, how do you know quality?

Learn from others' mistakes.....U'll never live long enuff to make them all by yourself! :bsmilie:

Also can borrow from friends who have the piece of equipment to try out 1st.

There was once I had over 20 lenses ... now I've cut down to 7, but don't think I can keep less than that though
