I have been Blessed with the Trinity!

[Dante King]

I think I need to be sedated. I just ordered a 85L 1.2 from my local camera store. Be here in a short period of time. WHOOOOOOHOOOOOO. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just thought I would share my giddiness and try to burn off some excitement so I dont scare people anymore.

[schmoelzel]

Alright!! Prepare to be blessed by the holiness......I am talking about the 'hole' in your wallet!!

[mrclark321]

Congrats Dante. Just think of what you went through since the start of this year....Scarry isn't it :lol:

[Dante King]

Yes, I am quaking at rumors of a 1dsmk3

[Jetmech1]

Congrats.............I would enjoy having the trinity. Post some pics when you get it.

[ayotnoms]

Great news Dante! The 85mm F/1.2L is da bomb, know wat i'm sayin?

I think you're keeping Canon afloat all by yourself LOL

Congrats!

[GeneMan88]

Me thought that you had the Holly Trinity in hand already? No matter... I like all of the photos you've shared that were taken with the 35mm f1.4L, so I can't wait to see what'll come from you with the 85mm f1.2L. So what have you heard about the MKIII???

Thanks Guys.


Geneman88,
I have major canon stock, so I'm just setting my own dividend. I have heard that the 1Dsmk3 will be 22mp, wireless data tranny and have a new release of the old eye focal point selection. Rumors all.

[Tsmith]

I always heard one could make a lot of money in California ... :D

[Michaelmjc]

When will the madness stop?! Cant wait to see some pics man.

[Dante King]

Now, thats all i will ever need want or desire! Really. I;m sworn off lenses, on the wagon. Straight and narrow for this guy. Clean living.

Will post as soon as it is in my hot little hands.

[Dante King]

BTW, anyone want a nice sharp 85 1.8 with hood? Got it up in the marketplace. Good deal to be had.

[schmoelzel]

Ok Dante........see pics of what you will soon have all to yourself!!

good for you, Dante! when I was at the shop today, I almost fell over at how many L lenses they had in stock. I wish I could hit the lotto. yeah, I know...who here doesn't.

[Dante King]

Schmoelzel, you are EVIL!

Bolantej, thanks, lotto, yes please!

[grego]

Holy crap man! Whenever I do visit your diner, you'll have the place filled with all of Canon's L lens.

[MrChad]

Congrates Dante, sworn off lenses...you? ha.

I don't think so, not until the Tamron turns into a 24-70mmL, then you'll have the ultra hard time of finding the mystic and rare 50mm f1.0L :)

So what will you do with the ducks this time?

[Ronald S. Jr.]

As for that 1dsMk3, that things gonna cost a fortune. Bets? I'm gonna say $10,000, unless it doesn't come out for another year or more. I'm not looking forward to wifi in my camera because of the battery thing...not to mention not being fast enough transfer. 22mp? I'm gonna need a couple of credit cards just for the cf cards I'll be needing. As to the focal point selection utility...I know nothing about that. Sounds interesting.


Oh, and btw, congrats on that trinity. Not one of them is tempting to me. :-D


No...seriously.

[buze]

Bah, Dante, you don't even have the 200 f2.8 L, instead you have that lame zoom thing ! :D Ewwwwww :D

I wonder if you have still time to do some photography now and then with all that kit craving :D

[Tom W]

Holy crap man! Whenever I do visit your diner, you'll have the place filled with all of Canon's L lens.

LOL - In my younger years, I had a favorite watering hole that had a trophy case full of the trophies earned by the softball teams that the bar sponsored. I can easily see Dante's restaurant's trophy case filled with red-striped lenses. :)

[jesusdelallata]

Dante...you need a Canon 14mm f2.8L and a 24mm f1.4L. Those would rock on your full frame camera.

[Dante King]

You know I was eyeing the 200 1.8 and ALMOST pulled the trigger. Heard my wife's voice.... cold chills, eased off the enter key.

[Dante King]

LOL you are evil jesus. I really dont want that. 35 is plenty wide for my shooting style. If I need wider, I'll rent a lens.

[RbrtPtikLeoSeny]

Congrats Dante, now all you need is the other holy trinity; 200 f/1.8L, 400 f/2.8L IS, and 600 f/4L IS. :-) haha, also known as the holy heavy-as-heck trinity.:p

Once Dante gets his long prime trinity, a mere signature change just would not do any more....a name change would be then in order : "Dante Emperor".

Pope Dante if you will or my pope name would be Canonus 1 , yes i like that Pope Canonus the First!

You can make yourself Pope Canonus, 50 of your peers would need to elect you Pope.

"Dante King, forthwith and henceforth thou shalt be known to all the posterity as Dante Canonius I the L-Vitromaniac. It is thus that I, George Burns have ordained ."

[CorruptedPhotographer]

Dante, if I dont see pictures of the trinity, yes all lined up! I will eat your brain till you take a photo of the lenses :D

[ghocking]

I think we need to start a Lotto on what Dante Kings sig will be week by week.
