I cant believe she bought it. Merry Xmas!

So last night I was having a few drinks at home with my wife. Around midnight I mentioned to her that my birthday is right near Christmas, and it would be easy to get me one big gift instead of 2 smaller ones.

I love the power of Alcohol.

I brought up Amazon, and a Canon 24-105L IS, and she clicked the buy button for me. I was so shocked.

I checked this morning, and its already been shipped expected delivery is tomorrow. Wow that all went so fast I still dont believe it.

Happy Birthday to me, and a Merry Christmas to all of you!!

Very nice. Congrats.

Congrats, its an awesome lens!

I have like a dozen lenses and a 580exII on my Amazon wish list, and my wife took one look and bought me.......... the seiko watch that is the only non-photography item on the list! She refuses to buy more photo gear. So I guess I am on my own.... gotta work some OT to buy myself the 24-105 (and the 70-200, and the 10-22, and the 100-400, and the 2x extender, and the 580exII, and the..........)

Use the power of alcohol like Angry Dad did.

The problem will be when it arrives and the alcohol has worn off!

I agree, it will work everytime

You should have pumped a few more drinks into her and gone for the 70-200 f2.8L IS or maybe the 300mm f2.8L IS! Maybe she'd even pose for your G&N work.

Yea Im working on the posing part, LOL. Im so pumped for this lens.

Angry Dad, that's awesome!! Congrats! My wife surprised me as well. She gave me $1,200 of her Christmas bonus to buy a 30D and battery grip. Now I need some L glass.

Hey how's that SIgma 70-200mm f/2.8? Is it any good?

Well, actually you could immediately cancel the order on Amazon after she clicked.

I really liked that lens at first, but it got goofy lately and Im waiting for it to return to me from Sigma. They said it should be here by monday
