Thanks for tips guys but the missus found out last night & hit the roof

Basically she went on & on at me to take some shots of the kids, so I went along with it hoping I could make out battery was flat or something. I've got the camera out with the dodgy lens on it & put it up to my eye & before I could oops the battery is dead she told me I had the lens cap on. Caught me out completely & she knew something was wrong when I started stammering (always do this when I lie ) . So I had to tell the truth . That went down like a . I ended up on the sofa last night

Anyway today for my punishment I had to take her shopping & she has spent same amount on clothes as my lens, on my credit card. She said we are quits now

Darn expensive this photography stuff

Oh the superglues in the bin btw.
