The Leica Noctilux f/1 is a good example and that cost about USD$7,000 a piece. But as with all gadget freaks, I often wonder what happens to it once you spend that sort of money.

What I like about it is the experience. You see, there are no zoom lenses to start with. Everything is RF focused, thus you can’t have a zoom lens for this. There is no instant playback. No CF card and you actually have to wait for the images to be developed before you can see them!
As a serious amateur, you need to know what sort of subjects you’d be shooting most and when. Once you have that written down, only then you’d start to think about getting more lenses.
LCD or EVF. Take your pick. The one for you depends on your shooting needs.
