I can't stop myself from buying the nearest L glass I see. When does it end?

Do you sell drugs? Human organs? Everlasting Gobstoppers?

I'm doing good to own $1500 of equipment with a tripod, bag, body, grip, and four lenses.

You've spent half again as much on a single lens....

One great thing about L lenses is they hold their value.

Enjoy!
