Took delivery of my 200mm f/2 II lens yesterday and wow what a beast. Having owned the canon 200L before, this lens is heavier and bulkier. What a beauty of a lens
After much debate the 50mm f1.4 Art is coming in the mail. Should be delivered tomorrow, just in time for the nice sunny wether to turn back to rain. )
If I take a good photo it's not my camera's fault.
Boy do I have a problem...I got two nice Gift Cards to B&H Photo. Isn't that a nice issue to have. Enough to pay for over half the price of a 50mm 1.8 prime or a substantial payment toward the MB-D16 Battery Pack. Or, I need a remote for both DSLR's. Decisions, decisions, decisions.

@ThomasHorton - oh the problem just got bigger. B&H sent me an email certificate good for $37 from my last purchase in November. The gift cards are burning a whole in my pocket. LoL )
My kids, grown adults, listen to their Dad when they asked for Christmas Gifts, I said B&H Gift Cards.

The good Samaritan in me is saddened to hear about your burden. It is in my very nature to want to help people like you. I think you need to send all of those gift cards to me. Let me take on your burden. I will do this for you.
No. No need to thank me. It is just my way of helping. Its a calling of mine.

@ThomasHorton - that was darn funny. ) ) As far as me sending you those gift cards..."right"! :-SS Back to reality, I was stunned that I got two and then when the B&H 2% rebate came I was delighted.

I think that when it comes to buying a present for a photographer enthusiast, that gift cards are truly the best solution unless the giver can interrogate the photographer on exactly what he or she wants.
Photography equipment is such a complicated and personal choice, it is really tough to know what is wanted.
