Best 'Excuses' You've Used to Convince Your Wife to Get a New Lens....

Couldn't find a thread like this anywhere....but I figure it's something worth starting!

So let's hear 'em!

If you are gonna have that many bags, I'm gonna need this many lenses!

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME I BOUGHT MYSELF SOMETHING. I JUST WANT ONE THIng!

Vacations!
To capture our trips

Educate her and let her play with your fun lens such as fisheye, ultra wide angle ...

The one I'm currently using:

With the baby due in March, how do you expect me to take a wide variety of baby photos?

I try to explain my husband why I need **** but he just doesnt understand, so I just make him pay for it and enjoy it on my own. Works pretty well for us... well, me.

Which means you are looking for a 35L

I want it.

I just tell her i'm buying new camera gear.

Tell her that is on sale and you will make extra money if you resale it later!

Eleanor (2yr old daughter now) is walking and running so fast now my lenses cant keep up. Look at her jumping...

This one has worked too:

(while online) WOw...this must be a mistake, (what?) oh this lens i've been keeping track of is like $xxx cheaper then before? or "w0w, this lens used is a steal....new it cost $XXX!!"

Um... I just have to suggest to my wife that I'm tempted by a new lens, and she postively encourages me to 'treat myself'

"You just spent $1000.00 on sewing machine equipment. We need a L lens to take pictures of it, for insurance reasons". It worked once. It may work again.

"I love you"

I can't capture your beauty with my current set of lenses
