More Lenses than an er-----n

Hi Guys

I have been with my dear Alice for a very long time, probably two life sentences in jail , but i love her dearly

Anyway all the time she has known me i have bought, sold and bought again, many lenses and/or cameras.

Anyway today i sold another Lens and she said, another one, you have bought and sold more lenses then you have had erections.

I thought for a moment and said, at my age you may be right darling, but isn't a new lens a sight to behold, you can use it any time, I will say no more.

Leon

Mods if it doesn't meet the standards of IIS feel free to delete, I just had the biggest laugh for a long time

So does your good lady have a view as to whether aperture or focal length is more important?

I hope you always used a filter on your lens, to keep it safe, and kept it in a protective bag when not in use.
