| Help me with my cognitive dissonance. |

I just couldn't help it. To get more out of my camera I went ahead and purchased my first L series lens from Canon. I purchased this telephoto lens: EF 200mmL USM. Even though I do more close-ups and portraits, I find I need a better telephoto lens than the stock zoom lens that came with my Digital Rebel XT. I got it for a good price for an L series.

Don't feel bad -- everybody deserves something nice for themselves now and then. :)

| 2. My cognitive dissonance is really high. |

I actually cancelled the order then ordered again but this time I decided to sacrifice some f-stops (so I won't being doing any low-light photos) to get a telephoto zoom, the EF 70-200mm nonIS (I'll have to use a tripod) L series. I decided I wanted the ability to zoom as well.

| 3. Use it a lot and get some nice photos that you would have missed. |
|
That will be what settles the matter.

I just need to save up a bit more money. Did you see post #2? I decided I wanted some zoom capability.
