Personally, I've bought 2 new bodies in the last year or so (*istD on Sept 16 05, K100D on Sept 16, 06), no new lenses yet, but that will change this weekend (Buying 16-45 new). Lenses have all been used so far, even the 18-55 I had for the D. I'm looking at getting new lenses over the next few months though, the 100mm D-FA Macro, 21 DA, 14 DA and 70 DA as well.
