This reminds me of a joke I herd:
I told my fishing buddy "If I Die what ever you do Don't Let My Wife Sell My Stuff For What I Told Her I Paid For It"

I would never be able to hide that type of purchase from my wife nor would I want to she would never try to hide a purchase like that from me obviously the money for the lenses isn't an issue if a Trip to Ireland is on the table too just fess up and let him fess up about the New Golf clubs he'll use on the trip maybe even stop off in Scotland while your in the neighborhood

Personally, I don't think GramaG really has a problem. She's probably been married a long time and has many years experience introducing things she's bought to her hubby. My uncle always said females are endowed with "womanly wiles" which means they are adept at getting their way. She probably introduced this subject to see what kind of responses she'd get. Just a thought.


I don't really think she has a problem either, but there a sure some people here who take things waaaay too serious here. Anything big we discuss, other than that it's whatever we want to do. I don't complain about her shoes or kitchen equipment and she doesn't complain about my camera stuff or my books. Just as long as I don't collect younger females like her last husband did.

:lol:

Love that joke! He already knows I tell little white lies about what I spend. Actually, he should be glad I didn't get a Zeiss lens for $20,000 +. Yeah, I'll use that!

If you need to hide it, you shouldn't have purchased them in the first place. Did the purchase take food off the table, did you lose the roof over your head, did you fail to pay bills? If the answer is NO just use them as normal and it will all be fine. My wife wouldn't know one camera or lens from another and she wouldn't really care. She can get what ever she wants and the same goes for me. I am retired since 2008 and worked my entire life so now I can do as I please. My last new toy was the Canon 7D mark II.... A little step up from my Canon T-3 aka: 1100D. Good luck and remember "HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY!"

oh, but I will tell him but it's better if he thinks my getting a new lens was HIS idea. Ha!

Conversation:
"Where'd that come from? It new?"
"What! This? It's been around for months!"
"I don't remember you mentioning it."
"What! You must be kidding! I SHOWED it to you! Told you about it! You never listen......"
"Huh? Well..... Okay.... Be back in a little while, gotta mow the lawn."
End of conversation.


That is so funny...sounds like our house!

We all have quirks. We all have vices and hobbies. a new lense is better than a new husband, or a lover. I,m sure he has toys also.

Everyone is going about it all wrong. My wife told me long ago, (when I only had 53 cameras), that if number 54 came in the house that I'd be down in the basement with them. When I get a new, for me, acquisition, I sneak it into the garage before coming into the house. a few days later, I'll ask my wife if she's seen my so and so. She usually answers that it's probably down in the basement. I then go down there and "magically" find it and bring it upstairs in plain view. It's worked for almost 45 years.

I really think she's on to me though because I get volunteered to be the official photographer for church, family and charity functions. She tells everyone that her husband has all this wonderful equipment so he may as well use it. See, just get 50+ cameras & equipment and your wife will never know, or will she???????

My husband's favorite line is, "if you can't eat it or screw it, you don't need it". Thank God, he's faithful! When his sister bought a fur coat (that she couldn't afford), he said, "I hope you can eat it when you run out of money"! We CAN afford this AND the trip and it IS happening...plus, I'm still working (that is WHY I work). When I get 50+ bodies, I won't have to worry about a few measly lenses!

No, he doesn't. The girls at work told me to tell him that since he doesn't have any hobbies, I'm spending his hobby money too.
