How do you deal with the fact that photography as a hobby is expensive as fuck?
>tfw since as a kid been wanting to get into photography
>never had enough money until now
>got a humble D7000 with 250k+ actuations I kid you not, can't go any higher than 1/2500s or the shutter will get stuck
>18-55mm kit lens, 50mm 1.8, a 16-300mm superzoom
>having fun with it, viewing and processing on my T430
>only recently realized that the colors look funky on my phone
>can't justify buying a calibrator for this shitty TN panel
>monitors are expensive and buying one with require an upgrade of my laptop for processing power
>also wanting to get into printing, but the colors might look like shit
>also want to get a TTL flash with trigger
>also want to get a good prime
>tfw now scared to show anyone my stuff because they don't come out as what I intended them to be
>tfw full frame inadequacy is lurking in my mind, but know that I can't justify the purchase because I already have a working camera body
Being a /p/oorfag is miserable.
