Nah! Mine is 1 bottle of scotch and 2 beers after getting a new lens.

I might be getting to be an alcoholic cuz everytime I buy a new lens, I can't seem to find it after them celebration drinks. So that menas I have to buy even more lenses which means even more drinks. Hahahaha!


Editing welcome :D

Thanks for the replies everyone!
Hey Nicko you are dead right about this lens screaming portrait, It's been raining here and dull all afternoon so I have not had the chance to venture outside with it yet.
But looking forward to doing some outdoor portraits.Hey the parents should be happy with that pic!

Yeah i think they will be - although my wife is cautious about posting other peoples kids on here... which i kind of agree with - oops... but this really is a place for photographers rather than the masses, and minus names its kind of irrelevant.

Perth is bloody beautiful at the moment - hot too. Red Bull Air race is on today and tomorrow.... off to test my 100-400 tomorrow morning... should be a ripper!
