My wife suprised me,when i mentioned to her that the show photographer that comes to most of our area shows,was selling his D1 to finance the Dx and i'd like to buy it and some computers etc from him,i got a sounds good to me.Even when i told her the costs,it did not seem to faze her to much. However,knowing i was going to sell pictures to finance it probably helped. On the other hand,if i look at a used film camera/lens etc its the 'what do you need that for' look. Thats why my 2 PDML purchases have been mailed to the office and i can sneak it home. Hey a guys gota do what a guys gota do eh.

Now she is my EX My current wife supports and encourages me to have creative outlets. She is my current subject (semi-willing) for my experimentation with portraiture in my low-budget home studio (basement). She encouraged me to bid on a $700+ lens on eBay and was disappointed when I lost but happy when I won the "consolation prize" of another lens for less money 5 minutes later. So, in response to your question, I have nothing to "manage" and have no need to sneak around to purchase lenses, etc. I feel that I am one of the lucky ones.
