I will start with mine:

I started off with my parents Canon 400D + 18-55 kit lens in September 2022.

Then a few months later I bough an A6000 kit with the 16-50mm, camera bag and a sd card (It all as a kit).

I got a Tamron 35mm f/2.8 for my Sony at my birthday back in August.

Let me hear your upgrade/gear path!

    Gear, gear, gear. Why is this such a common focus of discussion? Just consider that no piece of gear you own is ever as important as the subject at which your lens is pointing.

      Disagree that “no piece… is ever as important”. Try shooting fighting hummingbirds in the poorly lit and dense cloud forests of South America with a cell phone or point and shoot and getting 4 perfect sequence shots within 1/5 second. Try photographing Jupiter with a kit lens. You can have the best subject or situation ever, and if you don’t have the right tool it can be totally wasted. There are plenty of situations where these things must complement each other. Gear doesn’t matter… until it does and you’re caught out. Also, for this thread (and others) people just like to see how others have progressed, and more importantly why. Like why do I have a Z9 now instead of just keeping my D90 from 15 years ago? Maybe people look at what others have done and decide they don’t need to do that. Don’t worry that other people think about gear.
