I never realized when I bought my Canon that I should have destroyed my credit cards

You'd just be caving to the forum! This place can make you spend more money then you'd ever imagine.

Seriously, it's not worth it though. The worst thing I've done is the BillMeLater through B&H. That being said though, I'll do side work or trade stocks to pay the bill. I have yet to pay interest on any camera gear.

That being said, you've picked great lenses :D Except for the last one. You'd be disappointed with a Sony mount, plus the Sigma 150 macro seems like a better lens :D

Let me echo what Mr. Clean has said...save for your lenses and pay cash for them. I would not go into debt to further my hobby no matter how tempting. If I were a professional and the acquisition would pay for itself over time then perhaps yes...but that is not me.

I have a great set of lenses (IMHO) and I managed to pay for each one with cash (the cameras too)...well with AMEX to get the points...and, then cash to AMEX at the end of the month. In fact the 100MM f/2.8 MACRO I got for "free" by trading in some of my AMEX points to J&R on the AMEX Membership Rewards program. I have $600 worth of AMEX point in the "bank" now...do I hear a 20MM Prime calling???


Jim -- I keep the Leica D-Lux 7 in the Glove Box just in case!

Buddy, Leave this place, run for your life and never look back. :lol: Actually we all go through that, just have patience though because hey, its winter in Canada for the next 7 months so you'll have lots of time to save. :)
