Hypothetical #1 - inheritance

I have to break some bad news, your long lost great Aunt Maud has died. In her will though she has left you $10,000 with the stipulation that you must spend the money on something photography related.......

What would you do ?

**Art Vandelay** · 24-07-2011, 6:19pm

Are you sure you're from kiwi land and not Nigeria ?

Oh, and my 10K would be spent on an African Safari.

**Crazy Horse** · 24-07-2011, 6:22pm

Did she live in an African country where a lot of rich people die and leave me all their loot? (for a fee of course)

**Crazy Horse** · 24-07-2011, 6:24pm

@ Art Vandelay
You're too fast for me...

**kiwi** · 24-07-2011, 6:25pm

No, no scam, the lawyer hands you 10,000 cash, no hooks.

**Tannin** · 24-07-2011, 6:27pm

400/2.8L IS for rainforest work

Next question please.

**geoffsta** · 24-07-2011, 6:27pm

I'd but a couple of decent lenses. But I wouldn't tell the ball and chain. I'd tell here that Aunt Maud had just past her military fitnes test.

Even then, I would check to see that they were not sequentially numbered, marked bills

**Crazy Horse** · 24-07-2011, 6:42pm

Note to self... check on surviving great Aunts, get on their good side for a larger inheritance...

**colinbm** · 24-07-2011, 6:54pm

I would not buy a Sigma SD1 or would I

If I was honest with her I wouldn't have a camera

**fabian628** · 24-07-2011, 7:03pm

1ds mk3, 50L, 200L, sell 5dmk2 and 1dmk3 and buy 1dmk 4 (all second hand

). If anything is left buy some rolls of film.

**Jules** · 24-07-2011, 7:47pm

Canon 35 1.4 L, Canon 400 5.6 L, Canon 70-200 2.8 II L and Canon 7D. Done.

**Wandapics** · 24-07-2011, 7:59pm

Pentax K-5, Macro lens, wide angle lens & a few others

Same for my daughter also.

**Lance B** · 24-07-2011, 8:10pm

Nikon 500 f4 VRII.

I would unhesitatingly adhere to her wishes.

Good to see you know the difference between hyperthetical and hypothetical Kiwi

.

Money wise I'd have a nice new D3S and a 24 - 70 to go with it!

**old dog** · 24-07-2011, 9:26pm

haaaaa....what a quandary Darren.

I`d probably go full frame with some nice lenses...

**ricktas** · 24-07-2011, 9:30pm

With my luck the $10K would be on her facebook, in some game like FarmVille, where I could only buy non-existant cows, pigs etc.

Seriously, I would probably look at buying at auction a photo from the past, that would increase in value. I am happy with my gear.
