I remember the days when I never changed camera bodies for years. I experimented with new film stock when it came out, as this was a minor investment. Most of my money was channelled into getting better and better quality glass.

Today, the quality of DSLRs has approached the same point (where we no longer need to change bodies) and the minimal cost of digital 'film' means we could again plough money into glass.....but for software. THAT has become the money hole....if we let it!


An interesting side note to that... In the RangeFinderForum, the folks who use film generally don't even bother to mention the camera body in the shooting data, just the lens. Of course the digital folks have all the EXIF info :-)
