You're likely to get more use out of Photoshop than out of any one lens > Anthony, How long will that $600 worth of software be usable? A year, maybe two, before "upgrades" become nessesary? And where did you get the idea that "most" of us spend 3-4 times as much for each of several lenses? My most expensive lens was about twice the cost of Photoshop. Amortized over 21 years (so far), the annualized cost of my lenses is much less that the typical annualized cost of using the full version of Photoshop. I don't have a problem with people finding ways to reduce the cost of stuff that depreciates as rapidly as software does. We're not all wealthy.
