Wife just called in to me in the computer room:

"Hey honey, I thought you were going to Best Buy for a new Lens"

I replied:

"Maybe I'll just go to Amazon and as she walked away I heard " No problem Honey "

What should I do ?

What exactly is a fixed zoom lens? If it's a prime lens, why would they put the word zoom in the description?

Shop and book a hearing test?

What kind of heart attack anyway? Is it the one with the recently sharpened (by you) carbon steel knife?

Or the one that says: "I think I'm gonna miss you honey, but I know how to reload!"

It's an Amazon thing. They list primes as Zoom and then below in the detailed description they say something like "does not zoom". I emailed them once, but they didn't see it as an issue.

It makes me wonder how many people new to photography have bought primes expecting a zoom lens.

It used to be broken, and now it's fixed. Or, maybe it used to be a zoom lens, but they removed the extra parts and "fixed" it at 35mm.

Prepare for the worst.......she's up to something and, being a male, you won't see it coming.

I suggest that you immediately take HER to the Dr. She has obviously had a stroke.

Actually she forgot last Sunday was Father's Day and she felt guilty, that is if that's possible. Run Forest Run.
