I just had to pass on a mint, 2600 shutter count 7D for $900. because why?
Because my wife said no.

When will they understand.

When will they just realize that we need more equipment the same way they need their hair and nails done. Uggggh.

A devastating day for me.


Gear: Yes.

Confiscate 9 pairs of shoes and call it equal rights.

They're never understand electronics the way we'll never understand having 17 pairs of nearly identical shoes.

When will you understand your wife's need for many, many different purses and many, many different shoes?! :lol:

I still recall seeing a photograph of a woman's walk-in closet with walls filled floor to ceiling with what appeared to be identical black shoes! :confused:

My significant other was almost as happy when my $975 RRS TVC-33 tripod arrived. With that being said, she is really psyched that we will be getting new DSLR's early in 2013 (most likely matching 5DIII's) :lol:

It helps when she is into photography just as much :cool:

And my woman hates the mall / shopping! She buys her clothes online... Oh, I love it/her!!

Just do what I do, buy it and tell her later.........much later in fact.

I've had my second body for 3 months now and she still doesn't know I have it. :grin:

Very simple. I have a side job. That is my play money. I can do whatever I want whenever I want with it. She has no say in the matter. She already gets my primary job paycheck to take care of everything that needs to be taken care of.

As for equal rights, she has a side job too.:D

too bad, that 7d sounds like a good deal. you shouldn't involve her in your purchases, it's obvious she doesn't understand.

That's where you've gone wrong, joint account for bills, kids and food stuff separate account for my stuff that she has no access too..


Works a treat.
