Well, they're true for me, at least!

Your graphs apply to me 100%. More so now than a few years ago.

Excellent! In the last few months in order, I got a suitcase, I went on a trip, I came home, I bought a travel tripod to fit the suitcase. I have no other trips planned, but I'm ready now. No tripod on a trip is depressing. I should have seen this earlier, this chart could have got my priorities in order!

It all makes sense to me now. Lugging photo gear around will be my workout. I carry stuff more, lose weight, better able to carry even more, buy more, get stronger and stronger, replace the weight I lost with more lenses, and...

It sounds like a plan for us simple working folks. If anyone makes a bunch of money out of this photographic exercise they would hire an assistant and suffer greatly for it...right?

Only the curve of "lenses I own" is more steep on my side, but the wanted line is still high above there.

FWIW my lines recently crossed.

At a high level.

Congratulation! You can sleep much better now.
I sell off sometimes, but alway buy more back, many times buy the same lenses back.
Sony A7 opened a bad door for me...

Might I make two small additions to the top chart?

  1. Cameras I want, which will be rising curve just below the "lenses I want" curve. I expect this to increase in steepness sharply once the FF is released.
  2. Cameras I own, which be a straight line, way below the "lenses I own" line at just 1 degree or less above zero and to show no response to the release of the FF
