My 70-200mm (f/4) lens is about 8.5 inches long and quite heavy, but I like it a lot.
For wildlife photography, photographing small birds and so, I would like to have a 400mm lens, but I cannot afford it yet - maybe in a few months I will have saved enough ;)

sir johannpiber, did you get in agreement with the Missus about the expensive lense or do you guys have your own money and each one spends like they want? I bet the 400 is almost a foot long then!

No, these lenses are not so long anymore, @janton ;)

My wife earns her own money, as well as I do. I pay for our apartment, for private insurances, for electricity, heating and most of the food ... I pay for most of our living, for our family van, and for my son's motorbike and for my own motorbike. My Missus has her own car, and she pays for it herself.

holy moly..so unless your wife has a very expensive car ...she gets to keep most of her money. I bet she's loaded! lol.

She is working part time only, my friend, so she is not earning that much, but of course, there is more left in her pocket than in mine at the end of the month ;)

haha! well it's nice to know someone that you can borrow money from if you need to!

Yes, I could ask her, but I think, that I could not afford the lending rates ;)
