let's share on how much u willing to spend on equipment and the quality u wiling to pay.
 

i like second tier equipment. i go for yesteryear 'best' models, where everyone dump them and buy latest stuff. i embraced the old models like 28-70 or 17-35 to newer models like 24-70 or 16-35 as the earlier are 'workhorses' for photographers years ago. and thereare at least 40% cheaper than the current ones.

all my cameras are 2nd hand except my woca. i only bought 1 lens, my first 1st hand.

i bought a tripod and head 1st hand

1 bought the wireless transmitter 1st hand

and my camera bags

that's it, the rest its all second hand, i save quite a bit.
 

alright, i am not alone. not that i am looking for company.
 

all my zooms are second hand haha.... and though 3rd party i tink its pretty alrite..
 

u all very serious about your hobby/profession.....get the BEST u can AFFORD. hee hee...

very few go for average equipment......

for me, i am the only cheapo guy who goes for cheaper lens huh.
 

cheap lens can also take good pictures.
Get what you need, it will be sad if you are held back by your equipment.
 

Good that no one is under the category of "buy best equipment cannot afford" ... by loan or borrow $$$. hee hee......

:thumbsup:
 

All my Leica lenses are bought 2nd hand...for almost only half the price of a new one. My SF-20 flash unit also 2nd hand...save me quite alot of money! :)
Only my Leica M6 and the motordrive is bought brand new.
 

Sigh... If I earn $3K/mth, L lens, no prob.

But den I have to hold back and sacrifice a few things for a single lens. Buying a new lens is kinda like going overseas trip for me.
 

My stuff are almost 2nd hand too
Body + lens+ filters + tripod

The only original are
bag + flash + 50mm 1.8

:p

No matter how old is it .... as long as pic come out nice nice will do liao :)
