I have used this approach successfully in the past, and I'm sure it will still work in the future (So long as I don't get greedy)!

A new lens a year or 2 won't be too bad. A new camera every 5 years ain't too bad either.

In which case, I've overdue for both!

That’s about the right rate of turnover. Well, it works for me, with no significant other complaints.

Talk about ambiguous titles: I just realised I should have written “significant-other”.
