Just out of curiosity.

What's the most expensive bit of kit you've ever bought?
Time to show off your disposable income.....

(Has to be a single item or a system)

E.g. MY CAMCORDER XM2

Not. MY CAMCORDER XM2 + SENNHEISER MKE300D MIC + MA300

THESE RULES MUST BE OBAYED............OR NOT. IT'S UP TO YOU.

My car. After that my XL1S.

Usually most people are shocked by the $19,000 USD Fujinon lens or the $6500 USD Sachtler tripod. When I tell people I used to own $50,000 USD cameras most aren't even surprised.

Do women count?

Most do!

Like Rob, my house, but yeah my lowly XM2.....I feel so inadequate compared to Jeff...<g>

Aaron

Mines my GL2.............(not bad for a student.)

I'm sure you wanted to hear about more outrageous buys, but so far My Vaio PC at $2,200 is the highest, after that my Panny PV-DV851, which Ig ot for far under its usual price.

G5 based NLE bay.

You don't want to know...

See I took up video production as a hobby because my other hobby, sailing, wasn't using up enough of my available (and not so available) resources.

Did I mention I'm divorced?

Oh boy...!

Well, taken as a system, my Steadicam cost over $100,000, but the biggest single check written for that was $42K for the sled.

Then there was the Hot Gears at $30K...

The SL Cine (hotrodded Arri 2C) and Steadicam mags, another $30K...

Thankfully, all have paid themselves off. Wish the house and the car would do the same!

I'm still wondering how a lens could cost $19,000!!

I was waiting for Charles to blow us all away.....somehow those $3000 DV cams don't seem such a big deal.

Hey Charles, mind forwarding that to my Ex?
