If you buy that you better at least get hired by playboy.

When I finished grad school I bought myself a nice Canon SLR camera to celebrate. Go ahead and treat yourself, Mike.

the only person I can take nude pictures of is Farrah, and she wouldn't let me sell them to Playboy anyway. Maxim, maybe. Playboy, no.

well if she will let you take pictures of her with it, then it is well worth it. But then again why would you want a picture when you can have the real thing?

Don't worry CJ, you'll have a job some day.

Mike, I have been drooling over that lens for a long time. Had I waited, I would have picked up that one and the 24-105mm rather than the wide angle that I have now.

Pick up one of their pocket-sized digital cameras. I have seen one. The photos are very lovely.

That is a sweet lens.

Go for it. As a state employee, wouldn't it be easier for you to get state assistance until the lens is paid for?
