jrc Posted March 14, 2007 Share #21 Â Posted March 14, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I took all my photo gear and drove my truck to Alaska a couple of summers ago, with two friends. When I got back, my wife had partially remodeled the kitchen. You gotta be careful about expensive photo-related purchases without prior spousal knowledge.

marknorton Posted March 14, 2007 Share #22 Â Posted March 14, 2007 Compared to kitchens, diamonds and gold watches, an M8 is a bargain... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andit Posted March 14, 2007 Share #26 Â Posted March 14, 2007 Hi Andy, Â Just say "you will never believe the bargain that I got today...". Then just make sure you hide the invoice and keep your credit card receipts really safe. BTW I'd keep the box, just on the offside that your M8 has got to go back to Solms. Most Important - ENJOY IT.

andit Posted March 14, 2007 Share #27 Â Posted March 14, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi Karen, Â Please don't take this the wrong way, however, I think you look much better with a Leica than with any diamond - blush...

fotografr Posted March 14, 2007 Share #29 Â Posted March 14, 2007 How about telling her that you work for a living, are an adult and that you wanted a new camera. Â I tried that when I bought mine. My wife said my two basic premises were faulty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giulio Zanni Posted March 14, 2007 Share #31 Â Posted March 14, 2007 Say that you got the best deal ever and that you could always sell it and get the same money....no eh? It doesn't work!

eronald Posted March 14, 2007 Share #37 Â Posted March 14, 2007 Well, a Leica is only about 10-15 pairs of lady's shoes here in Paris; Â Do you know any lady who doesn't own that many ? Â Edmund Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL :D Hey that's how I feel about all those 'porsche, Ferrari toys I hear mentioned on these boards. I could buy a lot of 75 lux's and change my name to Imelda with the shoe collection. Oddly, I never hear E type jags mentioned. Now a Leica collection and one of those (1964), and I would happily wear flip flops for ever more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
