Removed mine very early on as I thought it made me seem as if I were gloating. Presently I'm an MZS and 50mm/f2 owner.....Hyram wrote:

My wife has just found our bank statement
Pointedly remarking on numerous EBay 'wins' Oops I shouldn't look happy should I ? I remarked that the last and largest of them was a package of 4 lenses and a camera and that by selling the camera and lenses I don't want, the 2 lenses I really wanted worked out at well under market ... she wasn't convinced, or even close.
She hasn't found my kitty for the K5, 18-135 and 60-250 yet thank goodness !

Is this one of those things where you use euphemisms to make things seem less serious than they are?
What's wrong with LBA?
You've got an addiction my friend, not a syndrome. Face the facts

Hi Eduardo Mad
'A culture-bound syndrome is a set of symptoms where there is no evidence of an underlying biological cause, and that is only recognized as a "disease" in a particular culture.'
Buying lenses surely counts.............

Just tell her it was an investment.
At the price you got the 10-20mm for you could sell it and make a decent profit any day of the week.
