December is undoubtedly the bessssst month of the year, every year.
Guess what I did this year?
I decided to give my almost-year-old Nikon, an upgrade with --
Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 55 - 300 mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR Lens
Again, it was not an easy decision to make.
I have been clinging on to 70-300 mm VR IF-ED lens for over 6 months now. Despite the huge hole it would make in my pocket, I loved every single thing about that lens. The size, the weight, the quality, just e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. I was perpetuallly dreaming about having one. Honestly, the only reason holding me back - it was waayyy bigger than the available credit on my card.
All year, I have been so intensely planning to save some credit to buy this one in December. Now that December is here, I still couldn't pick myself to order this one, straight from my cart. With the wedding and all coming up next year, I didnt feel it was a judicial spend. I started having second thoughts - if I actually needed an upgrade.
It was then I happened to stumble upon 55-300 mm, and was pretty pleased with the features and the price. It was then followed by extensive surfing AKA research, for a couple of days, and lo !
Here it is.. being packed and shipped to me.
Afterall, I am the gonna-be-bride, its December and I knew I deserved some pampering for all that's laying ahead of me.
