I've got close to 12-15k in gear as well. Camera bodies cost $4000 alone when you start to push 1 series stuff.k, slightly off topic, but how much $$ have some of you guys spent on your camera rigs? I was talking with a guy last weekend (A pro photo guy) who dropped 12k on his gear. Admittedly, he is a pro, but I got my old AE1 set up for free...(Not a pro...)
