Damn and blast

Settled my "buy now pay next year" deal for my 70-200 L yesterday. Then started feeling bad about not having anything on tick, so have "accidentally" ordered a 40D today. £499 after cashback would fall into the rude-not-to category, right?

Excellent "Man-maths" sir

[GetCarter]

First class decision.

I accidentally ordered a Gibson 335 dot flame yesterday. Will I regret it?

YOU might (once you play your particular example) but most people wouldn't

BTW take that as a compliment !!

Why are you waiting? From your other thread, looks like Kerso is £10 cheaper than Warehouse Express overall. So take the WE "pay next year" deal at £599, claim the cashback, and drink 3 less pints between now and next May to save the £10. QED Job's a carrot

ETA - I am really good at justifying why I should spend money I don't have. When I was a student, I justified getting a mobile phone (in 1994) by giving up smoking. Was most enjoyable, sitting out in the sun, chatting on the phone, with a fag on the go

man maths

I feel the same but might whack a nice new lens on tick - where did you get yoru body from?

[miniman]

Warehouse Express. They have a "beat any price" deal but the only cheaper option I could find was £1 less than them so I thought it would be a bit miserable to demand they reduce it!

[stigmundfreud]

thanks!

[miniman]

Top service from Warehouse Express, phoned them yesterday at 14:00 and the finance paperwork is here today, so I should be all sorted by Monday

Great news! I'm considering the 24-105f4L on tick now!

do it! my next lens.

Did this choice come after seeing Nick's NYC photos??!

[miniman]

Well it arrived today. Frankly, it's rubbish.









Nah bks is it it's bloody fantastic! And better still the Mrs has no clue it's not the same one I was using yesterday

Screen is streets ahead, menu system is better, high speed continuous mode is just mental. Feels 1000% more solidly built than the 350. Can't wait to try it with the 70-200 L

[4hero]

nice one The 40D is a stunning camera, I upgraded from the 350D also, mind you, I still use the 350D sometimes..

Good choice and I look forward to seeing some shots!

partly but more over the fact the only reason I dont have one now is because when I bought the 5d all of the kits were sold out so I always intended getting it

but yes Nicks shots did help a bit though it would be interesting to see side by side comparisons between that and my cheap sigma

Hey Emma...do women do "Girlie Maths" for something like a pair of Jimmy Choos?

Martin.

I imagine many women do Martin but I never feel that I have to justify buying expensive shoes. It's my money so I'll spend it how I like is my motto (ah the joys of being single ). I'm getting my first pair of Ferragamo's next week. I can't wait

Just looked at a website...$879 for a leather sole and a couple of straps!
