When I bought my Sony A350, my friend kept telling me about the dark dark path of purchasing accessories which I was bound to travel down.

I told him that unlike him I wasn't using the camera to get some extra cash so I'll only buy things that I need. Like all the stuff I got after I got the camera.

When I made up my mind to buy the A350, I already knew what other extra lenses I would get. The first was the 50mm lens which I recently received, I needed this cause.... my wife likes the blur effect and she seems to feel that it makes pictures nicer. So who am I to say otherwise. The other lens I knew I would get was something wide to shoot scenery with, and I would be planning to get this lens only when my next overseas vacation has been planned.. and considering that we have WZ to worry about now that might be a while...

What I DID NOT plan for was that the macro capabilities of the lenses which I have didn't satisfy me. What I ALSO DID NOT plan for was how fast I sped down to Pudu Plaza when I heard that a shop there had a lens available.

I didn't initially plan to get a macro lens but hey.. it's cool since now I can take close up shots that show off how dusty a glossy surface can get.

Or just get up REAAAAAALLL close to something.

So.. everything is still good... I don't have a problem or a lust for glass.
