Got woken up this morning at around 6am by my other half to drive her into work, imagine how I felt when I took a look out of the window and noticed it was chucking it down with rain.... Lovely!
Driving along the M8 in the peeing rain I suddenly realized exactly what would make this horrid journey that little bit sweeter... Lens shopping!
Dropped the lady off, nipped back home for a shower and headed for town. After posting a thread about getting my first prime lens, I was set on getting the nikkor 50mm f1.4G (£299 in the shops, ouch!)
I took a stroll passed jessops and suddenly felt my body gravitate through the shop door and before I knew what was going on I was leaving jessops as the proud owner of a 50mm f1.8 AND a tamron 70-300mm :thinking:
It's only now that I realize my body went into auto pilot and was in cahoots with my wallet because instead of spending almost £300 on a single lens, I walked away with 2 cracking lenses and 2 uv filters for £270.... result!!! :thumbs:
