Internet photography humour (mine)

I wrote this for a laugh. Sort of a variation on the hipster jokes.
See what you think!
Photographer Owns Sharpest Lens in the World but Doesn’t Own a Camera!
Ralph Burger of Columbus, OH, has it made in photography. He owns the sharpest lens in the world.
“For my first venture into taking pictures I didn’t want to be disappointed by poor quality. You know what they say; buy cheap, buy twice.”
And how happy is Ralph with his new lens?
“Oh, I’m stoked. I put so much research into it before I bought it that it really has to be the right choice.
“I just love the way it can make such sharp pictures, you know, ones that make your eyes bleed and like that. And the bokeh is just so creamy or buttery. In fact it’s a bit like ice cream, really.
“You can put it up against any lens from any manufacturer in the world and none of them is as sharp as this one.
“You know, the internet is so good for new photographers. You’re so afraid you’re going to make a mistake and buy the wrong thing but even though my original budget was only $200, it was $15,000 well spent.
“Everyone was so helpful along the way with sharpness tests and recommendations. I’ve learned so much about photography.”
But Ralph isn’t hurrying to show off the capabilities of his new gem just yet.
“Well, it’s going to take some getting used to and I don’t want to rush things. See, I really haven’t decided on a camera body yet.
“Nikon have a great new body at the moment but I’m waiting for the next Canon which will blow it out of the water.
“Then there’s the new Sony which is getting rave reviews from everyone even though it hasn’t been announced yet.”
So how does the owner of the world’s sharpest lens connect with his new treasure?
“Oh, I just love looking at it and reading about how great it is.
“But they just announced a new version so I hope I haven’t bought at the wrong time.”
