I was hoping you would say that. I don't think I have this amount of money anyway.

Mutual support is the name of the game. 28 years here and going strong. I don’t get her game, she don’t get the cameras. But we each know the other gets something from our individual games that makes us happy.

I've got a cool wife too.
But she wouldn't know an Elmarit from her elbow.

What a shame it has to be like this. Sounds like counseling is in order for this relationship.

Congratz with you wives guys.
My wife (we married 16 years ago) has very little tolerance for my cameras. She is always pushing me to sell the unused one. She is ok with the Rolleiflex though.

@Asim,
Does your wife have an unmarried sister?

Well, I don't get cameras/lenses as gift and we just don't discuss my purchases and sells in camera equipment at all. But I get a different thing, that IMHO beats all this by far: When on vacation we go shooting together like crazy and we share and talk with excitement about it. She's not only my other half, she's also my photo-buddy. What could be better?

It's a story of more than two years ago I already posted on RFF, when my wife and I during a road trip from Italy to North Germany made a stop in Wetzlar where I had the RF of my M7 adjusted. We got an excellent service and in a few hours it was done, kudos to Wetzlar Customer Service.
Meantime we made a visit to the Leica shop where I was curious to know if they had any refurbished digital M, maybe an M9 or 262 or...something just to try it. But we also ask to see and try the M10. You understand, the curiosity!
As soon as I had the M10 in my hands I felt it very familiar, like having my M7.
My wife asked me if I wanted it and my answer was ok, it's nice, maybe for my 70th birthday (in less then two years) it could be a nice present to celebrate.
But...
...she replied: if you are sure it's a good camera, the one you desire than buy it now. And use it! No need to wait two years.
End of the story: in the afternoon after some more thinking I placed the order
and a few weeks later I was owner of an M10! Life is short, it's already late...
Now, and this is a little silly, I could have the M10 shipped to my address but we decided to drive to Wetzlar again to pick up personally! This makes the camera more...my camera!
Of course the first photo I took with the M10 had to be a photo of my wife
It's not a perfect photo, we both were feeling the emotion of a special moment!
Two and half years later I only add the M10 is a perfect camera im my opinion and my wife still is a special wife 🙂

That is a very sweet story Robert.
I showed it to my wife and she slammed my other hand with the car door.

These posts are rather unbalanced; where's the "I've got a cool husband" ones? I guess they take it as read...
OTOH, perhaps "I've got a hot wife" would balance things up.

Perhaps no cool husbands...? And only few female camerawomen here...

When I got a promo e-mail from Leica for a 4 day masterclass in NYC for the price of a summicron (new), I wasn't sure. First about the money and the class topic which I had never done before. My wife " Sure you do it. What are you waiting for. That's a once in lifetime opportunity". As I do what SWMBO tells me 😉, I signed up. It was announced as "a life changing event" ... typical marketing BS, I thought. But it turned out to be exactely that.
To have the results of this experience adequately printed I booked a day in a printing studio (Cone Edition, Vermont). I told my wife about the meticulous process and one directional printing and she replied "Sure otherwise you might have some herringbone pattern in the print". I was positively floored 😱😀 (She doesn't have any background in digital printing other than having an office printer).
This isn't a competition and she's my number one anyway😎

The other day I watched Ebay auctions of cameras and my wife said "Why can't you watch porn like any other guy?" 🙄
