I remember the early days of CS. When having a Pro SLR let alone a DSLR was the biggest thing. You could count with your fingers and toes the nikon users that had even just one of the AFS (trinity???)lenses. And the no. of L glass users? About the same. In its short lifespan CS has certainly evolved. Granted DSLRs have become cheaper, but the price of a pro level one is still as high as before, yet the no. of users have grown tremendously. The prices of lenses has not dropped much, yet these days, you see almost every canon user with at least one L lens and almost every nikon user will get the 70-200VR eventually, skipping the 80-200ED completely. The 'class' of equipment offered on CS has also gone up tremendously. I remembered how it was hard to find proper SLR stuff cos most of the stuff on sale was for prosumer or consumer digicams. These days, i'm just waiting to see when someone will put up a digital medium format back. AFS lenses and L lenses pop up almost every day, and pro DSLRs every week at least.
Is not the general wealth of CSers increasing?
