I just discovered this fine satire by Roger Cicala of Lens rentals

Nothing has changed in the intervening eight years.

(And yes, $200 hammers are a thing.)

Thanks for posting this.  Something to keep me occupied while I wait for the usual retail suspects to start taking orders for the Fuji X-T4.

Big fun, but not far from reality.
