Ten years is long enough to tell the difference between a good tool and one I merely enjoyed buying. Both categories are represented.
What is in it
- 00:30 The four that have not been replaced once.
- 02:40 The one I have replaced four times.
- 05:00 Three things that did not last, named.
- 07:10 What I would buy first if I started again.
Made with
- A macro lens on loan
- One softbox, used badly
- Ten years of receipts
The cheapest thing on the desk is the oldest. I have stopped drawing conclusions from that.
