Your Most Expensive Body / Lens

[Raymond Lin]

They came down in price pretty quickly once the 5D came out in 2005. I bought my 20D new in 2005 for £780.

Bought my 30D new in 2006 I recall from Jessops for £680.

Then my most expensive is the 5D3, which I got on release so was like £2800 I think and my 85L, about £1500.

Never realised the early xxD models were so expensive :/

I bought it on day of launch from Park Cameras in September 2004 so will have paid the RRP. It was probably under £1k after Xmas.
Early digital SLR's were expensive though - the Canon D60 (2002)was nearly £2k and the D30 @ 3mp (2000) close to £3K

Canon 1DmkIV and Canon 70-200 f2.8 mkII.

Got a Cannon 5D MKii which is the most expensive body i have ever bought. I will say though that in the very early 1980's i bought a brand new Zenza Bronica Etrsi, which i am sure in real terms, was a lot more than the 5D MKii.
The most expensive lens i own is a 300mm f2.8, i do use a 400mm f2.8 regularly, but it actually belongs to a very good friend.

Sony A6000 and I only shoot vintage manual focus lenses, most expensive is my Tamron Adaptall SP 400mm f4, which is very rare and not often seen for sale. Paid around £600 to import it from America.

Nikon D3s with my 14/24/70/200 all 2.8's (mk II in some case) are my most expensive purchase.

 

[lolage]

5d3 & Sigma 35mm 1.4

 

[mattyg]

Nikon D810

And then the Nikon Trinity @£1000+

All the gear but no idea. Thats me

 

[GTRacer]

D800E + 35/1.4G

Although if we're going by original RRP I'm sure it'd go to one of my medium format film cameras (Pentax 67/Rolleiflex 2.8F) or my Leica M4.

 

[D.P.]

Nikon D800 and a toss up between a Nikon 70-200mm /f.28 VR and 24-70mm f/2.8.

 

[Russinating]

5D3 and 70-200 2.8 I think.

 

[traveyb]

A7II and Nikon 70-200mm VRII (since been sold)

 

[ricky1981]

Currently my most expensive single item is my Sony RX1, will be a Leica Q soon

On the interchangeable side, I use an E-M1 and a variety of Panaleica lenses but none come close to my compact/s in price!

 

[kona786]

SIGMA 18-35mm F1.8

£600

Build quality is lovely. Shoots almost as good as my old 35mm prime.
