going to the lens store :)

so today is a year that my gf and i have been dating, and my present is a trip to the lens store to get something i was already going to pick up a nifty fifty when i go cause i have not spent much time with primes and i want to see if i like them or not, but now i get something else too!!! YAY! So when Saturday rolls around, I will be 2 lenses richer....or....poorer​...or....same thing

Congrats! Any thoughts on what you might be getting other than the craptastic 50? OOOohhhhh, tell her to get you the 85L, or the 24mkII, or.........good luck man. I would be like a kid in a candy store.

make sure you start a new thread when you buy a filter for it!!!

And congrats!

I feel bad when people buy me expensive stuff, so I am thinking possible the 28-75 or the 100 macro non L, but I will look at everything, I do not discriminate to any lens...unless it is a crappy one...I dont like those

There are good lens stores near Sheboygan?

Milwaukee, but thats where we have to go when we want anything

It's sad when Milwaukee is your go-to town for stuff...

Unless it is (Ok, I am old but the answer used to be) for beer.

its quite depressing, but 2 years and im off to the southwest! hopefully.

I probably have more lenses at my house.

im not sure, the one i like is mike crivellos in brookfield, its nice in there and the people that work there are really nice, makes it worth paying a little more over internet prices.

Besides NYC, are there really ANY good places with great camera stores? I live in Phoenix, 3.5 million people and 2 good camera stores.

I don't think so...But NYC makes up for the lack of camera stores across the country!
I went to B&H over the summer and it is amazing!
They have the vacuum tubes to send stuff throughout the store, like at banks. It is SO cool!

She promised you one lens? Go for the Canon 800mm

The people at Mike Crivellos may be nice, but they are not very knowledgeable in terms of lenses. I went in there asking the main differences between the 17-40L and the 16-35L and they told me the focal length. Hmm, kinda obvious. Plus their prices are ridiculous on most of their lenses. Gasrocks, you are right there is not much for camera stores in Milwaukee.
