At various times during the (so far) life of this thread I've considered deleting OT posts (which would leave about 5), splitting off some of the unrelated topics (except I wouldn't be able to keep up with the OT spinoffs) or moving it to GC where it'd be someone else's problem. I even considered giving you all a real challenge and splitting Dante's, Ronald's Billg's and Calico's posts off into their own separate threads. But on mature reflection, I'm gonna leave it here as is and see how long you guys can keep blethering on.

A wise man you are, Heffy !:lol: Jobs and ladies come and go, but a love affair with a good lens is forever .

Until you find a better lens for 3-15 times the price, LOL. Or something newer and better comes out. Or your wife tells you she's leaving you if you don't sell a lens and buy her that diamond earing she's been nagging at you for a few months now.

For the most part i have... i have a 5d & 30d that i use for paid jobs. However, with the inventory of n*oink stuff that i currently have, it would be a shame to sell anything. Might as well use it. I've decided to goof around with the d200 and some of my older lenses, and of course a couple of purchases just to compare (if you know what i mean).... but then,, you don't! do you?

Getting a good looking wife who lets you buy these things will be the hardest part, I wish you luck ;)

Lensview, you know how they have those spinner things..

If you put all those options on the wheel, and you spun it, I'de be happy with any of them.

Well, maybe not the hairdo. Calico's job sounds nice though, lol, and the lens does too. And the Calico's wife option depends on if she has a nice personality :).

She lets me buy all this equipment, what else do you want from a woman ;)
