Yes but Americans with children need to save for college funds, for JD's new daughter she will need at least $100,000 per year so for 4 year course, $400,000 in 2027 when she starts college. JD has to save over the next 16 years around $800 per month, assuming inflation will not raise tuition much more than double from today. Many students end up taking student loans or go to cheaper in state or community college.

Also home maintenance is large part of the monthly expenses.
Hehe! I'm saving more than $800 a month. :)

[Fricks]

yeah... good thing we found out about this early on so we don't have to buy a mediocre tripod :lol:

Ya I bought a tripod for $60 right when I got my 7d then I relized I wanted a better pod so when we were in BH I asked for a good one having no idea about them so I came home with the tripod I have now and Now reized I need a better one :mad:

a lighting stand and two strobe reflectors :rolleyes:

[Jill-of-all-Trades]

Stability is better than getting something fast but crashes. I doubt Nick will have either problem with 16 gigs of ram. :rolleyes: :lol:

This laptop has been wonderful. It worked quite well with Vista, but now with Win 7 I've had virtually no problems. Occasionally Vista didn't want to start-up after doing updates. The rig itself, an HP, has been quite good. My sister's Toshiba has already kicked the bucket and it's younger than this one. Now and then I have to open the case and do a hands on cleaning of the fan.

Someday when I have the spare cash I'll have Nick build me a desktop, but that'll be awhile.

certain lenses just have a magic to them for me , 50 1.2 ,85 1.2, 135 2, 70-200mk2, 300 2.8,

the 35L just didn't WoW me, although it has better reviews than the 24 1.4 mk2

i'm also not really a wide shooter and shoot mainly sports or people so anything longer than 70mm is more my speed ;)

What is it???

[jdizzle]

hey i found my missing $1200 cheque :D










it came in the mail today, it was late and i never had it :oops:
Old age I bet. :lol:;)

Only if Zeiss comes with good subjects or model,
I can see this lens here in Las Vegas shooting all the great sites and people.
The 85 1.4 ZE or 100 f2 ZE would be a nice FL for you. :)

[monk3y]

From what I've notice so far, Zeiss prices hasn't dropped at all.

What is it???

JD why did you not get the 35 F1.4? The 35 would be good for cityscapes.

I'll take the Pano cam.

I hate moments like that. :mad: Glad you "found" it though. ;)

according to JD, its not the aesthetics but the outcome it produces :lol:

i know but still i will never find a use to carry around a $30,000 camera:rolleyes:

[monk3y]

i know but still i will never find a use to carry around a $30,000 camera:rolleyes:

maybe if you could sell a photo for $1,000,000 like he does you would find a reason to carry such a camera :lol:

that Alpa I showed above with a 39mp digital back apparently produces a 250mb digital raw file? :shock: I am not sure if its true

[jdizzle]

JD why did you not get the 35 F1.4? The 35 would be good for cityscapes.
As we all know, lenses with wide apertures are never sharp. So, I wind up stopping down to f2 or more to get more DOF. And if I ever get desperate in low light situations, I have the 24 1.4 and 85 1.2 for back up. With that in mind, I got the f2. As you can see, I really don't need f 1.4-f 1.8. :)

For that price, I can buy a new car. ;)

JD I just realized, in a lot of Peter Lik's photo... he is carrying the tripods fully extended...I believe this is just marketing gimmicks hehe

[jetta-the-hut]

dang Julian those pictures are sharp as hell!

[jdizzle]

according to JD, its not the aesthetics but the outcome it produces :lol:
You got that right! Ya think Peter Lik cares if the camera is ugly? He's laughing all the way to the bank with check in hand. ;)
i know but still i will never find a use to carry around a $30,000 camera:rolleyes:
Your tastes will change as you age. I would seriously pony up for a H4D-40 if the wife would let me. :)

Well, if you notice, he's really a tall guy. I would say he's close to 6 feet in height.
dang Julian those pictures are sharp as hell!
Thanks Aren. I'm loving this lens so far. :)

I see, how does the 35 compare with your 21? The 1.4 attracts me for milkyway shots.
