How do I know? Because The Wife just emailed me to say he has a new love and I can sleep on the couch! And to think this is the same woman who pitched a small fit when I spent $600 on the EF-S 10-22!

Indeed. Since The Wife has gotten back into photography, I've learned that as far as equipment goes, "What's her's is her's and what's mine is her's." Getting her to share is going to take some effort on my part!

Do what I did and get her shooting herself. Now SHE'S the one making expensive purchases. She's tasted L glass, and will never be satisfied with anything else ever again...
