I seldom leave comments, but i did a few searching and wound up here From Hobbyist to Professional: Step 2. Gear You Actually Need | MCP Photography Blog. And I do have a few questions for you if you tend not to mind. Could it be only me or does it seem like a few of the remarks appear like they are coming from brain dead folks? And, if you are posting on other sites, I’d like to follow everything fresh you have to post. Could you make a list of the complete urls of all your community sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

That is a great post. I have downsized my lens list and extras as I found I didn’t really need them, but wanted them. Its tough when you hang out with photographers who own lots of lenses and the newest cameras. You know how they can be better, but you do have to find what works for you and get quality.

That is a great start. I would also add back up equipment of cameras and lenses. For archival purposes I would also back up on bluest disc.

Thank You for this! i always think “i can’t get seriously into photography b/c i dont have enough fancy equipment” …even though i have a bachelors in fine art/photography i always feel under qualified, not as much talent or skill wise, but i guess gear wise. this article really helped me realize having more gear doesnt make you a better photographer. thank you!

Great advice and some really interesting comments from everyone. Thank you for the reminder on the 1.6 multiplier for lenses. The advice I have been given is a good lens will be with you for a lot longer than your camera. So while a Canon 5D MKII waits for me to give it a home I am mindful of lens compatibility and the factor difference in the focal length on my 300D.
