So I'm new to digital photography with an SLR. I bought my first a couple of months ago. My wife was a little shocked that I was spending $650 on a camera but she felt better after seeing the pictures of our kids that I've been taking with it. That being said, I've been dying to get a Canon 100-400 L lens (I want to take wildlife photos) and today I finally did. I ordered it from B&H. The thing is, I don't want her to know that I dropped close to $1600 on a lens, filter, and Realtree Max camo protective sleeve for it so instead of using a credit card, I set it up to pay with a money order. I overnighted them the two (USPS only writes them to $1,000) money orders so they'd get them by tomorrow at noon and hopefully I'll get the lens by Saturday as they're only 120 miles away.
Anyway, I feel pretty sneaky about the whole deception thing but I figure, she'll love the pictures I'll be able to take with this new lens and deep down I'll eventually know that I made the right decision. No?
