Why carry so many DSLRs?

[Mrgiggls]

Doesn't bother me. I have ways of defending myself.

With MP5?

Smith & Wesson.

Yep....if I'm out in a park or something shooting, I have a M&P 9 in a fanny pack holster right below my navel with a velcro release. Thankfully I've never had cause to reach for it.

Just curious. Has anyone bought $7,000 to $8,000 Canon or Nikon camera?

Yes, people do buy these. And even then the lenses + filters will be more expensive if you add them all up.

Add a $13,000 lens. That is $21,000 together. Boy, I wish I can afford that.

I don't mind stopping to switch lenses .. My goal is to do things right, not win a race and I'm also not an editorial photographer who would need to access another lens in a split second. However, there's a 2nd body in my bag just in case I do need it.

Grabbing another camera is quicker than swapping lenses.

...and because the primary camera can fail.

I did. But it was $800 instead of $8000.

Yes, this is a real lens. I really like the reviews on the amazon.com page... Amazon.com: Sigma 200-500mm f/2.8 APO EX DG Ultra-Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon DSLR Cameras: Camera & Photo
