I´m not very fond of the extreme wide angels, so I have just ordered the 8-15mm and 17 TS-E, to see if it helps to kill some enthusiasm ...

UPDATE
The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being. I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure. ------------------------------------------------------------
I'm so sick of Canon ...

Recently I had a new bathroom installed at home, so I vowed to restrain myself purchasing new lenses until I had payed for it, but as soon as the bathroom was finished, I found myself going out and purchasing an 8-15mm fisheye zoom and a 135mm f2 in a hurry. I just couldn't hold myself back any longer.
I recently completed modifying couple closets at home, myself.
1st photo - my kids play room(basic shelving)
2nd photo - my kids closet
I called around and asked for quotes from dif. local contractors. They wanted $200-$350 for kid playing room - basic shelving. $875 to $1200 for the kid closet.
To build kid playroom shelving, I paid $62 for woods and 2hrs of labor
To build kid closet, I paid $274 for all material and 5hrs of labor

The good news is that those are workhorse lenses and they can earn you money, unlike her shoes (that's right, I thought it, I said it!) ;D
Although some ladies with the right shoes can also earn as much money, but that's something else!!!
And you got markii's which are good until the 40mp sensors come out and the mkiii lenses come out!
Usually around that time, the cheapest smartphone will have 21 mp, making your dslr look like your Sharper Image 6 cd changer...
Man this went south quick! :-[

That's an inspiration. I need to do the same...

There is no cure, but there is treatment available. Step One is to admit you have a problem (which you've done -- good for you). Step Two is to turn over your lenses to a certified Addiction Recovery Specialist (which I happen to be).
Send me a private message for the mailing address. You'll be feeling better in no time!

I'll be happy to help anyone out as well. They are worth so little, and I'm doing this out of the goodness of my heart. Still waiting for that Nigerian prince to get back to me with the gift for helping him move his money around...

Easy, stick a 50 1.8 on your FF camera and shoot using ONLY that for 5 years! Then you will be cured for life. Remember, sharpness isn't everything! (like you said in your sig)
Oh, on the other hand, I see you haven't even had a 1D, just go buy a bunch of 1Dx now!

Great job.
If your children are like my son was, you did the right thing. Plus, put the savings into the L fund.
