New Lens!!

mmayer · 08-09-2008, 03:55 PM

My birthday is coming up next week, and my wife thought that a new lens would a good gift, so I ordered a Signma 10-20mm for my K10D. I told her I wanted a "Bigma" for Christmas, told her how much it might be, and she didn't even flinch!! All she said was, "its ok as long as I can add to my jewelry collection"....I think the holidays are going to be expensive this year!

Crud, I just realized this was probably the wrong forum for this post.....

A Bigma around your neck would be some serious bling.

I've never understood the thinking behind, "We don't have enough money for you to buy A for X dollars.....but we do have enough money to buy A for you and B for me for 2X dollars."

Kill two birds with one stone - get a jewel incrusted Bigma!

The 10-20 is a very nice lens! I don't use it that often but it's invaluable when I want to go ultra-wide!

Your fortunate as well that it is easier to detect fake lenses than fake jewelry
