Stacked Big Guns 200-800MM

[Bulbmogul]

Thought this might bring a chuckle to a few. Just stacked all my Big White Primes from EF200MM F/2 at Top to EF800MM F/5.6 at the bottom. This tower stands over 6ft tall..:rolleyes:

Me jealous? Yup.

[sjlund]

Oh, how my 2 year old would LOVE to push over THAT tower of blocks. Nice gear! If you get run out of room for that 300mm, I have some extra space in my office!

[TheSportsGuy]

I hate you.

:)

[Familiaphoto]

And I thought you would have the lenses out of the cases stacked one on top of the other.

Ok, well I didn't expect that but it was fun to think about it.

I'm not stupid, but sometimes I like to pretend I am. :D

[stathunter]

Jerry,
Awesome collection! I hope you are making some money with that investment.

[thrash_273]

looks really fun! those probably are heavy also.

You are right--- I get sick of carrying around my Mark II and 70-200 2.8 IS at a wedding---- hard to image any heavy combo to carry around for the day!

Jerry,
I got a good laugh and a whole bunch of envy when I saw your "stack". It is good to hear from you again.
BTW someone lifted the image and put it over on DPR so I did see it earlier. Hope all is well in Ohio.:D

[Super-Nicko]

i was also thinking some strategically stacked 2 or 3 whites on top of each other or a 200L with 2x 2x converters to make 800 or something...

I too was thinking bet the lenses arent in the boxes... risky stack :) i too have a 1 yearold whod be well impressed with himself after seeing daddys stack fall over :):):)

[Super-Nicko]

and goodluck hiding all that from your wife!

youd need to hide that at the mistresses house :) hahaha

[Bulbmogul]

FYI... Yes all of the lenses are inside of the cases as i very carefully stacked them. It was quite unstable, however I did manage to get off a few poor shots of them to the 7ft mark.


Did hide the new 1DSMK3 this am from the wife tho.. :D

[In2Photos]

Did hide the new 1DSMK3 this am from the wife tho.. :D
How would she notice? :rolleyes: ;) :lol:

Your car, geez that's like 30,000 dollars worth of gear I believe.

Hell that's like 3 or 4 of my cars :)

[silvex]

It is about $35,000 from samy's web site ...nice tower of $$$ :shock:

[Sauk]

Thats almost as good as buying gold :) You will get almost 90% or more if and when you sell those things.

wrong. few years ago, i bought GOLD at $399 now the cost is nearly $1000. I make profit if i decide to sell it now. You can't make profit with lens. :)

Hopefully no one would buy lenses to speculate price? Sure would think this would be a not so wise idea.

I had to remove the door to bring in my 48 Inch Color Printer and have not yet rehung the door..:)

Didn't everyone always criticize you for never taking advice, making fun of others for not having tens of thousands of dollars to buy whatever they want, and always calling your lenses "big guns?"

I never posted on there, only lurked so you wouldn't know me.

How have you been?

The 800L is "smaller" than the 600L. It seems that canon designed better ergonomics to shave-off its weight. Once you put the hood on the 600L. It just looks massive...wait...it is a massive lens...:)

You two have more lenses than some rental places...AND shops...:shock:

If that Lens happen to be of Canon Manufacture, I would have to own one but I am a Canon Man all the way..:)

[Anders Östberg]

There's only one allowed reason - your reason - to buy things? ;)

I never thought I bought talent when buying my gear, I bought gear that would enable me to practice at getting better taking certain pictures. BulbMogul has the gear, so now he can practice. I suspect I'm probably not yet "worthy" of my gear either by your standards and compared to your skills. I'm not about to put it up on eBay because of that though. :)

Anyway, I just think it's a bit unnecessary to attack the mogul just for having the means to pursue his interest, whatever it may be, and whatever he may use his lens collection for.

Over and out. :)

I hope those lenses are stacked on a solid ground-level concrete floor! They look heavier than my wife's 7-foot grand piano.

[Sauk]

I have to ask, but do you shoot any sports or is all of those lenses just for nature?

Seems like you could a lot of that from just using extensions.

Hi Michael, No we own the EF800MM F/5.6 and believe it was either the 1st or one of the very 1st sold in the USA. We purchased it from Normans Camera in Michigan the day it hit the shelves..

Bought.

[goatee]

I did, and it appears that he made no inflammatory comments, rather was attacked by snooty people who felt they were above him, because he has the income to buy expensive toys, and can't make the most of them.

Well, good luck to you - that's a great picture, and as long as you don't get your money by hurting people, then all the best to you.

Of course, were you to decide you've got too many, and want to lend a lens or two out, I wouldn't say no! ;).

Hi CW.. Sorry about that as i read it wrong. Well anyways I also bought mine in Mid June here in the USA...

[silvex]

Sheesh children. The man has the cash to get his lenses. What is wrong with that ? Instead of attacking him, we should make more questions about his gear and perhaps learn a thing or two. If I had the money to burn. Would I buy all those guns..in a heartbeat and then some...:) That is why I rent gear that I can't afford (or convince my self enough that I do :) ). In the case of cwphoto...he makes a LIVING with them...so chill.

So children lets all admire his (or their glass) by saying in unison..

Ooo...Aaaah....one more time...Ooooo......Aaaaah.....:)

There!

I just wish he would rent them to me :)

is it so hard to comprehend that maybe he works? and has worked hard to be able to afford these luxuries? and really all up its probably 80k in the grand scheme of things that isnt that much when you consider a middle of the range european car can be just as much and look how many people drive them? well im speaking from a sydney pov.
