Wydaje mie sie ze tego nie bylo a warto aby kazdy przeczytal (tylko ang.).
Dostalem od znajomego tekst z jednego z zgaranicznych forow fotograficznych gdzie pewien jegomosc dziwil sie ze ludzie wydaja tyle kasy na hobby :):
Sorry OT... just realised that there are alot of ppl that sink a lot of money in to this hobby... 5d, 1dmkII -> 1dmkIII, 100-400... what the?!?!?!?!
no i dostał odpowiedz ktora z jednej strony rozbawila mnie do łez a z drugiej uswiadomia ze wpadlem po uszy :):
just like a lot of things, photography is like feeding heroin, its highly addictive.
before u started out photography with a 350d kit, u will think that the kit lens is the lens in the whole world u will need and u will think that the 350d body is sufficient for u.
but after u buy the 350d kit set, u went out ur house and everywhere to shoot. Then u saw a pretty gal 20-30m away and u wanted to shoot her, but the lens is too short. then comes NDP and u wanna shoot fireworks, but u realise ur lens is not wide enough. Then comes ur school/company/friends sports event and they ask u to take pics of them, then u find ur camera is not fast enough and ur lens is too slow.
wat happens after this? Wat happens is u will go to clubsnap and complain and ask for advise why the 350d kit set cant shoot a lot of things that u wanted.
Then ppl will tell u the focus of 350d is slow, then ppl will tell u becos ur 350d is 1.6x crop factor, thus the 18mm of the kit lens is not as wide as a full frame. then ppl will also tell u that the cam at best is only 3fps, and u cant do smooth shooting of sports actions. so wat happens is ppl will recommend u at least a 30d for ur needs.
Then ppl will tell u, that to shoot the pretty chiobu 20-30m away, u will need a longer lens, preferably 200mm. Then others will tell u that the 70-200 f4 IS L good enough, but others will tell u to just get tt best 70-200 f2.8 IS L so u dun need to upgrade again.
then still others will tell u that the kit lens is not good enuff, they tell u the 17-40L is much much better --> sharper, wider, better contrast and colour etc.
so by now, u will discard ur 350d kit set and grab a 30d + 17-40L + 70-200 f2.8 IS L. After that u go out to shoot, then dam, u realise the colours of the pics are not nice, and u realise the built in flash is not good enuff, then ppl ask u to save up and buy the best 580 EX II. and there u go, u grab another 580 EX II
after a while in the forums, u see ppl taking bird and wildlife pics, and u find that the photos are dam nice! and u also go out and shoot, but to ur horror, all the birds u shoot at 200mm is baby sized !!! then ppl will tell u to get a teleconverter, then u end up with a 1.4x and 2x teleconverter.
However, this is not the end, becos of the teleconverter, the focus becomes ultra slow, the apeture becomes f5.6 which is slow too. and becos u use the teleconverter, the image quality is not as good as a 70-200 f2.8 alone. then wat happens? ppl tell u to just buy a 400 f5.6 or bite the bullet and grab the 400 f2.8 or 500f4 or 600f4. So how? u go and buy the 400 f2.8 or 500f4 or 600f4.
After this u think its the end? NO WAY DUDE! they will tell u that u need new support, new tripod, wimberly tripod head, lens plate, flash extender, stronger flash !!!!!!! and they will also ask u to buy a new bag to carry ur lens around !!!!!!!
after that u look at other ppl's bird in flight pics and u find them dam nice !!! but u cant achieve it with ur 5fps 30d. ppl again ask u to go buy at least the 1ds mk II or the newest 1d mk III !!!!!!!
the end already??? HELL NO !!!!!! They willl ask u to buy a car to travel to inaccessible place to shoot birds in singapore !!!!!
the end????? FREAKING NO !!!!!! They will tell u to fly to other countries more frequently to shoot other countries' birds and wildlife!!!!
u know wats the end? The end is: Nikon release a freaking dam nice body capable of 20fps, 100 megapixels, removable mini harddisk with rice cooker so u can cook outfield. Wat happens now? U SELL AWAY ALL UR CANON PRODUCTS AND SWITCH CAMP TO NIKON AND START ALL OVER !!!!!!
Conclusion: Does this explain why ppl spend so much in photography?
