Treated myself only a fews weeks after buying a Panasonic FZ18

The Panasonic is a lovely camera but I wanted more, even though I have no idea what i'm doing when it comes to photography I'm going to have fun learning.

Just need to recover from the groin kicking swmbo gave me for buying another camera. I told her it was Scuff's fault for showing off his fantastic pictures and Anonymouse's fault for encouraging me. She had no idea what I was on about and booted me in the nuts some more

Anyway, had a little play tonight. Nothing much to photograph in the house at 10.40pm so took a couple of close up shots of some cars. I need to go out at the weekend and fill up some SD cards Watch this space for some pi$$ poor photography

You won't regret it. And the SWMBO scars will heal

You can also placate her further by taking photos of a superior standard while you're both out and about

Thanks for blaming me !!!!!!!

These days, I just book in to hospital at the same time I buy a new lens. I'm currently looking for a good used wheelchair to go with the Canon 500mm f4Lis I got last week.

Ha ha welcome to the club, I had a Sony Alpha A100 as my first DSLR but wanted more after about 9 months. I wanted a Nikon D300 but that would have made me have to change all my kit and Swimbo would have noticed the change from Sony to Nikon. So I p.exed the A100 for an A700 and got away with it! I have about 3 Gadget bags already each has its uses but I wanted a bigger Crumpler Daily bag and knew I would have some explaining to do when it was delivered from Germany, luckily the same night she asked my advice on some new shoes and I agreed that they would look nice and she should treat herself. Next morning I told her about the bag saying she has way more shoes that she never wears than I have camera bags. RESULT!
Stealth is your best weapon.

After seeing the amazing results of Scuff's expensive lenses she caught me looking at a Sony 300mm F2.8 G lens at £4889 Trouble is its grey in colour and I could never get away with that. Cant even think up a story to try and justify it.............Over to you Scuff.

Canon sell touch-up paint for their grey/white 'L' lenses, you could always buy a pot and say you wanted to 'look like a pro' so painted all your current lenses

PMSL at this thread.

I'm not the only one who's afraid of swmbo then

Group buy on wheelchairs, crouches & plasters?

"I've had it for ages - didn't you notice" - normally work for a couple of nanoseconds while you leg it.

I don't get that far. Recently, as soon as I've said "I love you" I'm asked "What did you buy this time?".

"A new lens so I can take wonderful photos of us to put in a frame" almost worked...
