And I have my eye on some of the rather ridiculously priced Leica R glass out there. Seriously, KEH has lenses selling for below $400 that I would never have been able to afford even three years ago. I figure I'll be able to get 10 good years out of this stuff before it breaks or otherwise needs a prohibitive level of maintenance.
