Frightening thought!
I'm still using some lenses I bought over 40 years ago!
I've yet to try an EVF that I'd want to use full-time, which rather restricts my choice if I want a DSLR
If everything was "fully" insured I'd probably first order a
K-3iii, then track down low-mileage
KP and *
istDL2 bodies, then hit eBay hard and trawl the dealer listings to rebuild my lens collection!
Changing hobby isn't really an option for me … I have several, but photography has been a backbone of my life for the last 60 years … a habit I probably inherited from my mother … we've both documented everything of consequence in pictures.
It's the loss of those pictures which would be the biggest problem … that concept really gives me the shivers
