I'm gonna be SICK!!!

After several weeks of reading everything I can, (and finally getting my finances in order) I have purchased the 40d and 17-55 IS lens along with necessary accessories. Now I just have to wait until tuesday . My nerves are shot! HaHaHa

After pushing that very expensive buy button I had to get myself an extra large glass of wine Talk about butterflies going crazy in my stomach! uggghh I won't be able to eat until it gets here. LOL

Enjoy a wonderful purchase!

Just one glass of wine? Not bad.

How exciting - sounds like a terrific gear combo.

OHHHHH NOOOO I'll have several glasses I am sure. Otherwise won't be able to sleep! Geeez never spent that kind of money on myself before. It's kind of nice having the kids grow up and move out. Now I have extra $$$

That is why instead of pushing a button a wipped my wallet out at samys friday I've got the 40D. Awesome body!

Great Combo! You have just bought the greatest zoom lens in the world at that focal range!

Better get used to it. From here on out it only gets worse.

Congrats on the purchase. Now the fun is going to really start!

Nice. Enjoy!

haha im sure you are going to enjoy that.

I have that combo and I love it. Congrats!

I think I'll have a glass as well just for the heck of it. Plum wine for me.. Anyway, enjoy your new kit. The 17-55 paired with the 40D is about as perfect as can be.

Or better.

Or more expensive.

I had to wait until I retired to get my 40D. Now I might have to go back to work to afford all the extra things I want.

Have fun with it.

That's why you only order items at the beginning of the week, so they get there quicker. I order a Sigma 180mm macro on Thursday, I'll get it Monday.

Your an occasional wine drinker so this purchase should be no problem. I love my 40D. Try out the Landscape mode. It is the major surprise of the 40D.
