Dear Lord in case I die

[axtstern]

please make sure that my wife does not sell my gear for the Price I told her that it has cost....

My wife is usualy scared by what I spend on Canon gear. I gained some Karma after selling some lenses but had to invest some of these Points when telling her that I Need to get a 50mm again.

I did not want to go again for the huge Sigma 50mm 1.4 so I went with ye olde EF 50mm 1.4 via eBay.
Came Close to divorce this morning when the mail man delivered this 50mm lens. The previous (private) owner sent this almost mint lens in ist original box together with the sun shade and used as the Transport protection the original box of a 5D Mark III Kit. My wife is not a market maven but she can smell if a box in her Hand has this 3000 Euro smell.

Anyone else had such a Kind of Situation before?

Make up a list of items and prices your equipment is worth and put it in a envelope or place where she can find it. If you have a photographer friend, perhaps he will sell it for her. I'm getting up there in years and need to update my list.

I just found this list amusing. When you think of it. Unless you have a collection of big whites all the pro lenses we have today don't cost much compared to things like a new car purchase.

Start selling micro stock. Women love to talk money when it's coming in. It opens all kinds of possibilities. Honey, We need to go to Paris. Think of the stock images I could sell….
