I know it's a sin, but I have other money earmarked for dull stuff like home improvement. These savings are 'mad money' which has been simmering away half-forgotten for a few years at a relatively high interest rate for these days. Reinvesting it doesn't seem worthwhile with interest rates so low, and (forgive me) I probably have too many lenses as it is. So when I received a letter asking me what I want to do with it, I thought "Toys!!". Plus, it's my duty as a good citizen to stimulate the economy.
I am really interested in hearing everyone's thoughts about the MM as I haven't made up my mind yet. I might still spend it on a trip, and take pictures with the kit I already have.
