My 24-105 broke, so I used that as an excuse to get a new "walk-around". I've have never have got the 50mm f/1.4 otherwise.

Is begging considered strange?

If begging to a spouse,maybe strange but certinally not uncommon! (quite a bit of groveling also goes with my begging!)

I'm thinking about getting wife number 2 with a great income. Then keeping her long enough until I get a new lens. Do you think I could keep that from wife number 1?
