I've been going through my gear, doing what I should've done a long time ago and writing down serial numbers and photographing my gear.
It dawned on me that I don't know what I need next, if anything. Here's what I'm using:
I have no interest in ever shooting video so, despite the fact that the two DSLR's are older, they do the job I need them to do. I can't think of anything I'd want to shoot which can't be shot successfully with those cameras. I've got focal lengths covered from 24mm to 500mm, or more if I use the 2X (which I never use, really). I have studio lights; albeit they're a little old, they're very nice lights and get the job done.
I'm drawn to camera stores like a moth to a flame, but I rarely, if ever, spend much money. I've turned into a tire-kicker.
Aside from more talent and a hot wife, what am I missing?

- Old set of Novatrons
- An assortment of filters which sit, largely unused
