How does your camera gear reflect you status or wealth? Could people or other photographers guess correctly according to your gear? Are you shooting above your weight class, or under it?

My camera and 5 lenses amount to 1250. The other gear makes it amount to 2000. I used to buy more lenses that went missing and have a ton of filters and an expensive mattebox along with a bunch of tripod heads that I'm selling due to it being cumbersome that makes it amount to 10,000. I broke a lot of equipment too. In many ways though it is best to cut down on costs with as minimal of gear as possible.

new pricing on all my gear is probably around $40k
but a decent chunk of that was through manufacturer employee pricing, and street value now is probably like 25k for everything
i live very frugally (house paid off, minimal bills), and photo just happens to be both my biggest hobby and side hustle
status items (fancy cars, clothing, jewelry) always come off as wasteful or born out of insecurity, and i low-key love looking like a normie but secretly having money
one of the richest people i've ever met irl, i literally thought was like a homeless guy trying to scam me at an old job
