It's Already 2AM: 12th? 14th? Edition... Time to consult your Financial Advisers!!!

[jdizzle]

I should take a pic of the bag i picked up at best buy to replace my old NES Messenger bag...

Tis quite nice, holds my 7D nice and comfrotably and i have space to probubly get my 15-85 and a second prime in there
Thats' cool. I like to change up my bags when I go out and not stuff it with everything in there. The most I would carry is 3-4 lenses. :)

[jdizzle]

How are you feeling Kenji? Any better?

[KenjiS]

Its only meant to be a bag that goes EVERYWHERE with me, And like you, I'm thinking of only having the 7D, Sigmalux and then a second prime in there...Or the 7D, 15-85 and either the Sigmalux or another prime tossed in there along with my wallet and my tablet if i want to

For other times, say if i was going to a zoo or someplace im going to want my other glass i have a Slingshot im thinking of replacing with one of the Thinktank Slings...

I saw those TT slings at the store today and they're very nice. It could definitely fit alot if you like that style of bag.

I'm doing better, editing a bunch of pics I took over the last few days:

I typed a LONG description to this one

Aloha guys

[tonylong]

Hey Kenji, I'd add comments to your refreshing drink photo but I don't have Flickr! Well, let's just say it does look refreshing:)!

And funny your observation about the taste buds!

[jdizzle]

^The watermelon and drink look tasty Kenji. Are those your puppies?

[jdizzle]

^^Hi Tony. I guess this pace is more to your liking? ;)

[tonylong]

Hey Julian, well, today is the first time in a while that I've actually been somewhat active here!

Of course it does help when things slow down a bit:) -- I keep having to skip dozens of posts at a time when I am "lax"!

[KenjiS]

Hey Kenji, I'd add comments to your refreshing drink photo but I don't have Flickr! Well, let's just say it does look refreshing:)!

And funny your observation about the taste buds!

Thank you :)

As for the taste, remember a large part of your sense of taste is in your nose, and my nose was essentially completely closed up before from massive amounts of swelling (due to a severely deviated septum on both sides and enlarged turbinate bones, they could not get a scope smaller than the diameter of a toothpick up my nose to look around) Now that the airways are a lot clearer I can smell a lot more things..

So now I understand what people say when they said "hints of this" and "hints of that" when they drink certain things....So i was having a fun time laughing and drinking that and trying to pick out everything i never could before....

^The watermelon and drink look tasty Kenji. Are those your puppies?

No sadly, my mom fell in love with the white and brown one though, They're only a month old too btw, They're going to be very big dogs

They are up for adoption, along with 6 other brothers and sisters!

[tonylong]

Thank you :)

That definitely sounds like a nasty condition -- how cool that the docs could take care of it!

[jdizzle]

Hehe! No worries. I do the same thing too. ;)

[jdizzle]

^It's nice to be able smell the things you eat and drink.

[tonylong]

Hehe! No worries. I do the same thing too. ;)

Yeah, sometimes I spend so much time reading "old" posts that I never get caught up enough to post anything myself!

[KenjiS]

That definitely sounds like a nasty condition -- how cool that the docs could take care of it!

Its really not that bad, i mean they just sedate you, shove a dremel up your nose, grind out the offending cartiledge and bone structure causing the problem, shove something that looks like a paddle up your nose to hold everything in place, shove some gauze up there, stitch it all up and put a bandage on your nose...

Now i will note im still recovering, going out and doing too much seems to drain me very easily so yeah, And i still gotta watch raising my blood pressure, And im still coughing up very nasty looking chunks of stuff...But i am a bit more functional than a week ago..

[*sigh*]

JD, did you see my ride this morning?

Try doing that on your MTB. :p

[tonylong]

Well Kenji, I hope things go well all the way to full recovery!

On another note, we are having what pretty much could be called a typical summer day here in the Pacific Northwest.

What that means is that the the day starts out totally overcast and then the clouds start to break up in the middle of the day, so that the afternoon becomes gradually sunny. So right now it's a bit after four in the afternoon. If I go outside and look up, it's mostly blue sky, but if I look out, especially toward higher elevations (hills not mountains) it's a total cloud bank. And,I just checked the local temerature and it's just 72 degrees F! Sometimes it doesn't get to the warmest part of the day until five in the afternoon or later!

[KenjiS]

^- Thank you

and sounds nifty, its practically dark here at this point (course we're 3 hours ahead)

[KenjiS]

Oh and BTW i stopped at the Apple Store today and played with Aperture on one of the 27" iMacs (3.1ghz i5 one...)

Couple things:

Their example photos are different now, and they're taken with a 1Ds Mark II versus the D2X (At least the ones i was toying with are)

The iMac and Aperture is nowhere NEAR as "quick" as my custom rig with its i7-2600k and Lightroom 3, I dunno if its an Aperture quirk or what but say, sharpening on my PC is instant, on the iMac it blinks out to load a bit for a few seconds....

[KenjiS]

Well i killed the thread for an hour lol

Heres the rest of the photos i was editing, All with my Sigmalux

Kenji you have a great copy of the sigmalux!

[*sigh*]

Nice shots Kenji.

[KenjiS]

Kenji you have a great copy of the sigmalux!

Only indoors and when theres nothing too bright in the background ;)

Nice shots Kenji.

Thank you

[*sigh*]

Ugh... I am very bored right now...

[KenjiS]

So am i, im done editing all of my shots now...

[jdizzle]

JD, did you see my ride this morning?

Try doing that on your MTB. :p
Yes I did. Although, I get a better work out with my MTB. ;)

[jdizzle]

Gorgeous shots Kenji.

[vipergts831]

Yo Nick it was a PITA installing the speedtrap in the fork. Not much space to work with.

[jdizzle]

Kenji you have a great copy of the sigmalux!
Why am I not allowed to have a Zeiss 50 MP? :lol::p;)

[KenjiS]

Why am I not allowed to have a Zeiss 50 MP? :lol::p;)

I'd love one of those....

It'd just be a lot harder to use than the Sigmalux in 90% of situations

[vipergts831]

Why am I not allowed to have a Zeiss 50 MP? :lol::p;)

You know the answer to that :lol:

[jdizzle]

I'd love one of those....

It'd just be a lot harder to use than the Sigmalux in 90% of situations
Yeah, what do you think of the Zeiss 100 MP?

[KenjiS]

Yeah, what do you think of the Zeiss 100 MP?

A lens i'd probably love to use, but im not sure if it would be as practical as my 100L...

[jdizzle]

You know the answer to that :lol:
So, what other Zeiss would you suggest in the line up?

[jdizzle]

A lens i'd probably love to use, but im not sure if it would be as practical as my 100L...
I don't mind MF but, my uses are different from yours. :)

[KenjiS]

I don't mind MF but, my uses are different from yours. :)

For the macro i could likely live with MF but the lack of a decent focusing screen in the 7D would probably become an issue rather quickly...

the IS is the bigger reason that i would probably hesitate on it, the hybrid IS on the 100L is just so nice

[jdizzle]

I found Oakleys that I like. It's called the Scalpel. I tried almost every pair that would fit my face the best and this one is it.

Good thing is, since i have a prescription and insurance, i get a huge chunk taken off the prices ;)

My current ones cost me about $220 out of pocket, i went to the Oakley store after, saw the same ones sans prescription and they were almost $600 I remember my jaw dropping

Oh so today was my first ride with my Radar Path's. I'm very glad I went with the G30's, they are light enough that around sunrise I can still see everything clearly, but block enough light to keep the brightness at a manageable level during the day. It is a bit weird getting used to the red lenses. Everything is a bit pink at the beginning, but then your eyes compensate and colors look normal again, until you take them off and everything is blue.

[jetta-the-hut]

Costa Del Mars - fools! look them up, its the only sunglasses i'll own from now on.

http://www.costadelmar.com/store/Departments/Sunglasses.aspx

400 or 580 g glass, dont go cheap and get the plastic, they do replacement lens too if you break or scratch them.
i've got the 400 triple tails, but my last ones were Swordfish, both in blue lens.

these will be the darkest sunglasses you'll ever own, there made for off-shore fishing

[*sigh*]

[tonylong]

Well, I'm back, sorry for lagging, gang.

I felt, well, compelled, when a new member/photog was asking some questions and I found myself oddly trying to give a somewhat complex "long-winded" answer. Boy, do I feel dorky.

And then, when I was done with that, I also felt compelled to do something about the strange empty feeling in my abdomen. I know, only thinking about myself and how I feel, but it was past the traditional "dinner time" hour that we mere humans often feed that selfish part of us in.

Well, sorry, gang, I'll try to do better next time so I don't miss the opportunity of taking part in the rich, deep meaningful discussions that go on here:)!

[jdizzle]

They are all on my computer at home. I have not had time to upload them yet I'm in Hawaii for 1 week now so I'll have some to share when I get back:cool:

My fault i guess...

[KenjiS]

it must be me D:

Anyways you know whats terrible? i was on Flickr and someone uploaded some pics of a model done with his 7D...

I wanted to go and tell him his model needs to wear a bra that fits, Because the bra was about 2 cup sizes too big (From the side, she looked like she had a rather impressive chest, but a 3/4 or frontal shot exposed the fact the bra was pretty much empty x3)

[monk3y]

no because its a weekend :lol:

I just came back from a whole day of shooting, went to a new hidden beach (literally) and a River hole...I'll post a photo in a while...

but I was carrying my retro 30 bag for like 5 hours (from 830am until 130pm) and made me realize I still need a side loader backpack for trips like this :lol: my left shoulder is quite sore right now

[monk3y]

Now you say you need a back pack.:p Did you read my comment on the Retrospective 30?

yes I did hehe... I understand why you don't like it. Remember I initially want a backpack sideloader and you said I need a bigger shoulder bag..

well I agree except I still need a backpack for those times when I need to hike/walk very far or very long...

So, what are you thinking of in a back pack?

[jdizzle]

I've always liked this bag. It's not that big in specs but, very versatile. The TT 360. I played around with this one yesterday.

ohh I am thinking more like a Lowepro Fastpack 350 side loader... but I am not sure hehe I don't have the money to get it yet maybe next time :lol:

the rotation looks really nice but kinda very narrow/slim?

It is narrow but, with the amount of gear you have it's very versatile.

yeah it looks very nice :lol: I have to check it out in person...next time...maybe a Christmas Gift to myself :lol: for that price it better be nice :lol:

I added a tiny bit of vignetting :lol: it was actually an ecotour of a small river that goes out into the ocean..

that's the river mouth right there behind those two guys :D

How about the Think Tank Sling-O-Matic?

[monk3y]

How about the Think Tank Sling-O-Matic?

the boxy thing? hehehehe its too boxy I think I like the rotation more..problem is they are too pricey, lowepro fastpack are only around $100... I will probably use it very rarely though, probably during those times when I wanna explore new places only :lol:

Yup. I kind of miss the versatility of the TT UD 50. So, I'm going to buy the UD 60 instead. Check this review out.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsteHdqXmss&feature=relmfu

[jdizzle]

Here's another tid bit that makes the UD bags so versatile. You can add the shoulder harness and use it like a back pack.

I've always liked this bag. It's not that big in specs but, very versatile. The TT 360. I played around with this one yesterday.

Yup. I kind of miss the versatility of the TT UD 50. So, I'm going to buy the UD 60 instead. Check this review out.

It's not available in that horrid color. ;) Anyways, I'm sold on the TT UD 60 V2 and I'm going to pick up the shoulder harness. I took my 1Ds III and 70-200 attached and it fit with no issues. Going to place an order today. :)

Great review of how much can fit in this bag.

Quiche story. While living in the Philippines we maintained a stay in cook. Because we lived around homes of ambassadors to the Philippines we are are able to hire live in chefs of former British, Italian, Greek etc ambassadors. They came to us trained to cook special recipes from these countries. Mang Ernie last employment was the Italian ambassador, he also served the Austrian envoy family. Mang Ernie stirred a revolt from my children because of his liking to serve quiche for snacks, merienda. So now when we serve quiche we are reminded of how Mang Ernie looking neat in his starched whie apron and tall toque promising to limit serving quiche for snacks.

1dIII for 1600 is not bad. There is also a zeiss 50 1.4

Why is the 400 2.8 cheaper then the 500 f/4 :confused:

Hey Aren! I work for UNC Hospital in Chapel Hill. :)


thats awesome no wonder you're loaded,:p

i've got a few friends that have been up there and they say the staff is what makes the hospital the best in the state, so pat yourself on the back, and hand over the zeiss.

Why is the 400 2.8 cheaper then the 500 f/4 :confused:
The problem with the 50 1.4 ZE Planar is the wide open performance from f1.4-f2. It's very soft. I would rather have the 50 f2 Makro Planar.

Something went wrong in that whole process of the 60d....
