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?

What, Wife #2 or the lens? :rolleyes:

Sold my quad for the camera, then sold my good guitar amp for one of my lenses. This hobby kills me! :D
