Well, you would be wrong... When I realized yesterday that my 50mm/1.4 lens could not focus anymore, I was crushed. I have been crying like a little girl who just broke her favorite toy.
They are probably going to be able to fix it, but they will keep it during at least 3 weeks: boohoo...
It was really too much for me to cope with, I needed immediate comfort...
So, I bought a new lens. It was probably the childiest thing to do (though I don't think a child could afford it), but it really made me feel better.
So now I have a CANON 60mm/2.8 macro lens!!!
Yay!!!! Here are the first shots: our lunch with Juliette!
I still need a lot of practice, but I have the feeling that, me and my macro lens, we will have a lot of fun together!
Wishing you a happy, sunny weekend!
Music!

sorry & congratulations :). I can totally imagine what you did.
Isn't it funny though to realize how much the photographing means to you? It would be the same for me.

You know what? I think us FOLLOWERS and your macro lens will have a lot of fun! Besides, it's always the best way to comfort yourself to go ahead and buy something that you really want. :)
Oh no, I got hungry again - and I just ate!
Have a nice weekend!
Well, sometimes when life is really hard and we've been very brave, we get a present. This is yours, dear Elisabelle! And I'm already enjoying the results!
sorry about the broken lens! I, too, probably would be crying like a little child if my favourite lens was broken (and well, I am even for smaller reasons sometimes..). congrats for the new lens though - i'm sure you must be very excited. :)
I cried actual tears when the camera I had had for 15 years broke with no chance of repair 3 years ago.
And then hubby bought me a sony alpha DSLR, so the world was a happy place again! :)
Yay!
A happy child nonetheless!

your photos are brimming with life. they are special.
Worth it! A new lens AND immediate comfort.
your blog always makes me hungry :)
Trop super! je t'appuie 100% sur ta décision --and what is wrong with staying/being a child? Just wonderful!
je comprends très bien ton désarois. félicitations pour ta nouvelle acquisition ! ces spaghettis ont l'air tellement bons !
Miam !!!
i feel the same way when something is wrong with my sewing machine...
glad you had new toys!
your photos are simple wonderful! I want some of that pasta!!
so beautiful
guess I should go to Paris soon and have some food there
so jealous of you new toy...
and wishing our dearest 50mm will be better soon!
I completely understand - I did the same thing when I broke my zoom lense a couple of months ago. I cried, and then on impulse bought a 35mm lense :-) Hope you get your 50mm lense back soon, and congrats on the macro lense!
a broken lens would shatter me. it just shows your heart is with photography.
loving that new lens too.
I do the same thing. :o)
Glad it made you feel better. And the photos are lovely!

Tu ne m'avais pas raconté la fin de l'histoire, coquine!!!
Et bien il a un sacré piqué ce nouvel objectif! Quant à ton oeil, il est loin de faillir :).
Je t'embrasse fort*
Elle est d'une beauté, cette fille !
c'est l'avantage de casser ses jouets quand on est adulte...
