Its this forums FAULT!

I just pulled the trigger and bought an 85 F1.8 for my 350D...

Thanks guys and gals, really!

Waiting to seeing some photos!

Gotta wait for it to get to me, as soon as it does, i'll be sure to take some!

I just wanted to thank everyone for helping me spend money! lol

You won't be disappointed! Good luck with the lens and congrats!

Chris, a word of advice, do not use that excuse with the wife or the girlfriend, see the last time I used it with my wife, she just leaned over and pulled the plug on the computer while it was still running. Then when I told her I would have to now go and buy a new laptop to replace the computer she broke she did the monitor in too because I would not need it with the laptop. So the moral of the story is . . .

All kidding aside, enjoy it is a great lens. You will be surprised.

Haha, good story!

I've got something to combat that though; she's an art student.

She just picked up a MacBook this summer, and is always buying paints/brushes, pencils, charcol, turpenoid, sketch pads etc.

She's got her art, and I've got mine!

She is, however, starting to harp on me about spending so much. I've bought some time though, because, she's getting a big present when she graduates in 2-3 years.

I told her, that, if she graduates, and graduates with good grades, like I know she can(she's already got her AA in Fine Arts and carried a 3.25 GPA), that I would take her to Ireland for a vacation.(We're both Irish, she's 100% pure blood, i'm just a half-breed ).

All in All, we've got a good understanding.
