Perfect.

And if it is too late, get a new one, do it right the next time.

I don't question what she buys and she doesn't question me. Last week I bought a used 5D. Once she saw the images, of her, she was happy.

My hobby is photography, hers is shopping..... so it works out ;-)a


Bohdan - I may be, and probably am, completely wrong.

This might be a challenge. Maybe put lampshade on this?

Just wondering when you buy a canon 'L' lens if you tell your wife it is an old one so she dosent get mad :D

Sounds like a good idea ;)

Tell her whatever you have to, to keep the peace! lol :D

My wife is wise to all my tricks, can't get anything by her. I find it is easier to ask for forgiveness instead of permission.

I've managed to get the wife to accept the L costs as long as I keep making some money from the shots :)

If she knows about L lenses then she knows too much to start with.

HAHA!!! Classic.

Just think of it as a little Hubble telescope.

I'm just starting to get serious about photography after years of "playing around". Hopefully, I can purchase most of my gear before I wake up one day with a girlfriend. Haha!! Maybe that's a bad choice of words. :lol:

Lots of unemployed people in this world. Surely, any number of them would still be cheaper than a wife.
