I continue to do this... Things like tools, camera accessories and just about anything that goes into or on my house. (And Vintage Leica gear)
Recently I was looking for a decent strap for my Canon 1Ds MKii... Long story short I bought 6 different straps, 2 Canon ones and 4 after market straps before finding this one.
It's on order and should be here in a few days and yes it's the most expensive strap available for a DSLR. (US Made)
Some recent and planned projects...
1. I've just finished building a table for an industrial stepper foot sewing machine. Actually saved about $700 doing it myself.
2. Researching and designing an air tight glass fronted camera cabinet with an in built dehemidifying function. This will get expensive.
3. My "clean cabinet" is now complete. I use it to store my film scanner and for repairs for anything requiring a clean environment.
