Apr 25, 2006 12:55 | #76 Considering the discussion going on in this thread, I thought I would ask this question. I am about to move my family into a brand new house on 3 acres of land where my wife has been wanting to move to ever since we met 12 years ago. Do you think she will let me purchase the 100mm Macro f/2.8 now? Kerry Sanders | flickr

No. First she needs new curtains for all the windows, then to repaint to match the curtains, then to get everything reupholstered so it fits the new decor. But look at the bright side - with all that needing to be done, you wouldn't have been able to use it even if you had got it, and that'd be still worse than not getting it. Jon

You got a new camera and all you had to hear was a wise crack about your manhood and clean your desk. Hell, Sunday I told my wife that I wasn't going to play golf, then I ended up playing (just 18 holes and $30 not a new 30D and $1,400 like you) and I am cutoff for at least a week and had to sweep and mop the floors. Good job, bro. lol.... I guess i got away pretty easy huh? http://www.theanimalhaven.com

I found out today that I am not going to be able to purchase the lens right now anyway. I have to spend $2000+ on dirt. Yea... dirt... to backfill around the house. Kerry Sanders | flickr
