Christmas in November!

Santa is bringing me, via UPS, an early Christmas present -- a new 85mm f/1.8 lens
this afternoon. I am so excited, I put on my new robe (birthday present from my
daughter), which feels "Christmasy" and began the debate: do I wrap it up and wait until Christmas to start
using it, or do I go crazy and use it immediately? What do you think I will decide?


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Looking forward to seeing some more photos from it. I may grab that lens myself and hear some good things about it!!! Vote

Since the warranty starts at purchase then don't waste a moment...think of it as practise for the Christmas day images !! Cool robe too !!

You have to use it immediately or we will have to call the guys in the white coats to take you away! Are you kidding????? YES....USE IT AND USE IT AS SOON AS YOU GET YOUR HANDS ON IT!!! btw....really nice smile!

There is only one way to get rid of temptation: yield to it.
Robin Reid02-Nov-2007 23:58
Great shot. Of course you will use it now. Don't be silly.

Take the lens out of the box. Wrap the box. Use the lens. Open the "present" at Christmas. Enjoy the images taken with your lens. Remember them and be grateful for them at Christmas. (Nice SP Gary!) v

Pepe Zyman02-Nov-2007 21:16
Wrap the empty box!

Nice SP! Lol, it will be open within 5 seconds, I predict :-))

I checked first to make sure you hadn't taken the photo with it. Very handsome SP. Use that lens, don't wait.
Scott Browne02-Nov-2007 20:06
Knowing the rational, non-spontaneous, even-keeled, level-headed individual you are, I'm betting you wrap it up and quietly set it aside until Christmas day.
;-)

This is a great SP. It is my bet the UPS man will barely be out of the truck before you have the lens in your hands and on the camera.
Bob Floyd02-Nov-2007 19:50
LOL - it has no chance of lasting till Christmas and you know it!

Go crazy, Gary!!! Don't wait till Christmas (I don't believe you could anyway).
