Purchased a DA*50-135mm....bummer

Yep, I plunked down the cash to purchase the much touted Pentax DA* 50-135mm. I really wanted this since it came out. Every photo I have seen from this lens is super sharp. So, why am I bummed? Its wrapped up under the tree. I bought it as a gift for my wife. Maybe she'll let me borrow it some day.......

That IS a bummer. Maybe she will rent it to you?

Sure she will rent it to you since her gift might not be as good as yours, Guilty conscience as it is called.

If her gift to you is more of the emotional value, she might let you use the precious Da* 50-135

Erm, one question that should be asked here...

Does she have a Pentax camera? Or is this your way of giving too expensive presents to yourself? "Wow, that IS wonderful, darling? If you don't want it, sweetheart, well, I do..."

Merry Christmas!

LOL, you reminded me of a Simpsons episode where Homer bought Marge a bowling ball for her birthday with HOMER inscribed on it.

Yes she has a Pentax camera. We both shoot with K10D's.
