There's no stopping now...once the thought entered your head you were doomed. Stop pussyfootin around, give your wife a big hug, say "I Love You, I'll be back later" and come home with the prize. The trick to this scheme is to let her shoot with it first
:cry Ah, the best laid plans. My plans for new glass went to hell yesterday. I was going out shooting and I took 17-35 2.8 out of the cabinet. I failed to note that the lens carrier top was not closed. The lens fell out and hit the tile floor from 4 feet up. :yikes
There was no external damage to the lens but when I put it on a camea the camera wouldn't meter correctly with the lens. So the 17-35 is off to Nikon land for what should be an expensive repair.
Later that day I was setting up the 500 and I found that the screw that holds the hood onto the lens is no longer operational. Its not worth the effort tp get it repaired so I had to order a new lens hood for $300+
:bash
Now is not the right time to discuss additional expenditures for new glass while I spend $ repairing my current line-up.
Maybe next year. :

don't think the f2.8 will be worth it in oh-so-sunny FL.
The Sigma? Maybe a bit more but is it worth it? Could be. The zoom part
is attractive...
