Re: Head or heart purchasing?
I think we are deluding ourselves when we say that photo equipment is an investment. Since
photography became more electronic and less mechanical, it depreciates like electronics.
Even the tru collectables are in a downward price trend. You can\'t think of cameras like they were Rolex watches. You can\'t count on not having to take a major loss when you sell them.
If you look at the B&S board here at Fred Miranda, the only things that are selling are those items which have been greatly reduced in price. There have many observations on this fact.
It is very rational to say that you\'ve gotten a lot of use from your equipment and enjoyed it emensely. However,IMHO it is not a good investment in a monetary sense.
