Mine was $5,001-$10,000. I'll just say that the number is from my most recent purchase and not the ones before it.

I'd probably say a little over 3,000 throughout my entire history of owned lenses and body. But right now with the current, I'd say a total of around 2,900.

I reckon i'm in level 2 so far but then again I only started 11 months ago and got my original kit for a steal
Saying that I do have a couple of 85s now and a 77 on the way and my girlfriend has promised me a 43 for my birthday in Dec...
I'm a bit worried about the limiteds to be honest, like I mean if you have 2 of the 3 that means you're more inclined to want the last one yes?

Yes, my schedule of items for insurance cannot lie!!!

My schedule will definitely hit a new high after adding that FA* 250-600/5.6 purchase.... Plus sinking ~$1500 (MSRP) into a support system for the FA* 250-600/5.6. That's just a top shelf gimbal head and tripod that will meet my heavy lens needs. That Gitzo GT3541XLS tripod is a pretty penny but super light at just over 4 lbs, max. load of 39.5lbs plus max. height of 78" (no center column)!

Regards,
Marc

Currently, I'm in the $1000-5000 category. This is the most money that I've ever spent on a hobby--the rest of them all added up haven't cost this much. Thus far, this is the hobby that I've gotten the most satisfaction out of, though.

Within that category, the figure is knocking on the $5000 door--that's just my body and lenses. If I were to throw in the accessories like my tripod, head, bags, flash, etc., it would definitely cross the $5000 mark. When I had my Pentax gear, I estimated that the replacement value was somewhere around $3000 for my body and lenses; since switching to Canon, that figure has gone up quite a bit; the replacement value on 2 of my lenses alone is about half the value of my entire body/lens kit. My 40D body was given to me as a gift and I've bought all of my lenses gently used, so I haven't paid anywhere near what their replacement value is.

My 2¢...

I don't want to add it up, but I still haven't spent enough. There's more equipment I want to buy.
