That is the problem right, some of these cameras and lenses cost more than a car! Or the deposit of a home. It is crazy that they can get so expensive, and the thing is we hobby photographers will never use all the fancy features that cost so much. Buying things we will never need.

Indeed, and that's why I stick with a fixed lens. Some lenses can be screwed onto it, but I don't need them for my purposes. A new thing is that I have been asked to take head shots of all of the staff on a wine farm, for their website, and I have never done that before, so it's going to be an adventure.
Luckily my camera has settings for "Portrait" photos, and let's see how it performs.
Exttra lenses are for profesionals like you !LOLZ
Oh wow, what a great opportunity to get some nice photographs! I am jealous. Portrait photography is fun and you can experiment nicely with it, lighting and so on. Haha, yes, the different lenses you can buy and play with it fun but very expensive. I think I have a couple of them, bought them very long ago when things were still reasonably priced, and I got some nice lenses from friends and family that threw out old cameras. (Nice thing about the changeable lenses is that if you find your lens size, you can use lenses as old as 30 years old and it will still work! In fact, I am using just such a lens and it takes some of the best photographs between all my lenses.)
I hear what you say, and maybe you should come along when they contact me for the photo session. I am a nature photographer, and taking pictures of people is not quite my thing. I do have a set of lenses here, as an uncle left a complete photo kit for me in his will, but I have never used it. So, play nice and I might give them to you mahala.
Oh that is a piece of treasure! It might be a piece of art you are sitting on.
I would love to come along! If the event has not yet happened that is.
No idea, as it's all packed into a case with the camera, so maybe the lenses might fit your rig.
Will let you know when I get their call.
I hope that I will be back in town when they call you! Would be an awesome opportunity to tag along. Maybe I can even bring my other half with!
I am not in a hurry for them to call me, and if they do, then I will schedule a date with them somewhere in September. Your other half will be most welcome. So behave and enjoy.
