I'm always amazed by people wishing for a million dollars. Why not wish for $300 million? Same chances, right? You can take my 100-400 L away when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

I could buy one of those $7,000 lenses. I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!

Really! IT WILL! "Maybe" is right. I'd actually be pretty damned amazed if I didn't own a Canon 500m f/4 by this time next year. The "maybe" part comes in when I think about the 600mm f/4, but there's a very big price difference between the two. You can take my 100-400 L away when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

One thing i dont often think about (because i lack any patients) is the fact that i'm young, and that i dont think we'll be seeing a new lens mount for quiet some time. That said...i have plenty of time to build up collection. Capturing life a fraction of a second at a time

We're out buying new equipment long before we've extracted maximum utilization of our last 'must have' purchase. I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!

We're out buying new equipment long before we've extracted maximum utilization of our last 'must have' purchase. The most useful bit of knowledge we can instill in any relatively new user is that equipment is a small part of the equation; knowing what you can do with what you already have would be far more useful. I also agree with that, and i just kind of thought of this going through my girlfriends photos. She uses cheap B&W film on an old AE-1 and two lenses (28mm & 50mm) and they rock (we're scanning them right now so you'll see them soon). Capturing life a fraction of a second at a time
