Its funny how many of the same people I see on this forum and Fred Miranda, seems photography and audiophilia go hand in hand. I gotta agree that photography is a much more expensive hobby than headphones. For the price of a consumer grade lens (like the 85mm f/1.8) you can get a world class set of cans (i.e. Senn 650s).

LOL will-san I agree 100% with you.
If you start taking more than two trips - to exotic places - a year only for photo sessions... then I'd say you have gone a way of no return.

well as for accessories, i know www.dealextreme.com has gotten a ******** of slr accessories lately. nothing in the line of lenses etc as come on, buying that from a chinese suplpier is suicide, bt stuff like remotes and battery grips, shizniz and whatnots

My friend, I have over $20K worth of photography equipment, and I STILL don't have everything I need.

Audio gear? Photography? Try collecting mansions or yachts!

Yeah, which is definitely something I do

I'm a yacht man!

True! 1k is nothing...
Many of us have spent several times that just on headphones, not counting source, amplifiers, cables, etc...

Shouldn't this thread be in Gear Fi?

At least somewhere else than this forum.
Cause it don't seem very related to "Portable Audio"...

Try collecting planets and solar systems! That'll cost ya.

Mansions and yachts are soooooo new money.

Yeah, almost any hobby gets expensive when you get serious about it. My wife just bought a D-30. Pricey. The Head-fi thing is actually pretty cheap (so far

) when I compare how much I've spent and am still spending on my interests. It's funny, I don't seem to realize how much is being spent because it's an ongoing thing. An upgrade here, a new part there; it definitely adds up.

Motorcycles - At least $40K (thats just two bikes!) Sold'em

Hot-rods - At least $70K Sold'em

IPSC Shooting - About $20K to have a decent set-up. Two open pistols and a limited, two reloaders and related equipment, miscellaneous gear. Also, depending on how much you shoot, a $400-$1000 dollar monthly bill for ammo.

And you still have travel expenses to shoot the bigger matches. Hope I get that sponsorship soon!
