If it's so free, why do you have $10,000 wrapped up in it.
So many say, "film is so expensive, I'll never go back..., digital is FREE!!!!".
So how free IS digi...., let's take a look!!!
With film, I had probably a total of $750 tied up in a Canon T-90 and maybe 3 lenses!! I did my own black and white and sent in and paid for the color rolls.
I even had an old 4x5 with a total of probably $150 including holders and all.
So, to shoot digi, wow, it IS free..., almost.
Let's see....,
2 bodies, $3500
Previous digi cameras, $500
Computer and monitor, $1300
Extra batteries, $150
8 memory cards, maybe $250
A couple external drives(3), $250
Two printers, $1200
Past ink, $500
Software, PS and LR, $300
Courses, $1000
Good thing I'm a cheapskate!!!
That's only about $9000!!!
I'm gonna throw a lens in just to make it an even TEN GRAND!!!
I have not had to upgrade any lenses because of too many pixels, so I wont count lenses.
If you moved to say a D800 and had to get the trilogy as a result, you need to count those!!
$10,000 could buy a lot of film and developing!!! :lol: :lol:
So geeezzz, let's see just how free shooting digi is for you?!?!
Don't forget to count all the previous digital cameras, obsolete computers, monitors, laptops, printers, ink and lenses purchased as a result of digi and any courses you've paid to learn digi!!
Digi really IS FREE(almost)!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Shooting digital is practically free...it's the cost of G.A.S. that's a killer.
