Same thing with me! "Yeah, I just dropped $2600 for that MacBook Pro". "Oh, me? I bought some camera lenses". "What?!""


It's all about priorities. My friends will spend >$1800 for computers, iPods, clothing... etc. But when I tell them about a lens that costs $1800, they think I'm nuts.


Maybe I should show them the 1200 f/5.6 L. That'll show them. []
