I'd had the house for just over a year before this lay off, and heating it was very costly (it's an 1800s barn/train station converted to a home, with open ceilings to the rafters in the living room) The previous Spring I had found a used old Vermont Casting wood stove, but I lacked the funds to get it installed.. As the summer of new romance was turning into a chilly fall, Elizabeth said to me one evening "If you get that fireplace running i will never leave here" Later that month she went home to Maryland to visit her parents. Upon her return the wood-stove was installed and heating the whole house like gangbusters. The funds to do this was the sale of my other love, my 200mm f/1.8. well of course we are now married, I have a new and better job, but with adopting a kid and keeping a family and house working, no longer being a single man in a cheap apartment, I was sure I'd never be able to make another purchase like the 200mm. I am however more lucky than I deserve and on Wednesday I should have my (used but mint) 200mm f/2 ![]() Looking forward to posting here! Fantastic story. So you got the girl AND also get to have the lens too! Woots. Julian
