Lens Addiction
Jul 25, 2014 16:07:31 #
My brother has been trying to do an intervention on me, if you consider accusing me of being a lens addict (8) a real intervention. However, I am taking him seriously, for the first time in my life, and took the first step of my self-imposed 12-step program. I sent back my newly-purchased Tamron 28-300mm lens and ordered a Canon 6D camera. I'm so proud of myself!

So, how many camera bodies will that make?

Looks like you're about to replace one addiction (lenses) with another addiction (camera bodies).

It IS easier than I thought. I just log on to B&H, see something I want, click on it, and they send it to me! Isn't that nice?

Tell your brother to mind his own business and get a girlfriend or hobby to occupy his time instead of interceding in your. LOL

I hope that you have a deep pocket friend/spouse/parent to support your addiction. :-P :-P
