PERRY, GET IN HERE - NOW!!!

[tharmsen]

You owe me $1870.

I just ordered a 85L because your posts have been haunting me.

I'm not happy with you. I might be when it gets here Wednesday... but right now my wife wants to choke this "Perry" guy from the Internet.

[MyCatsAnnoyingMe]

Pics... post pics... Has there been gun fire yet? :lol:

[FlyingPhotog]

She hasn't threatened physical harm prior to this? Based soley on your gear list, I'm suprised... ;)

[KarlosDaJackal]

I think i saw him over in the lens forum ;)

[tonylong]

Heh! Perry and his rep:)!

Hey, enjoy the lens! If you practice at shooting this wide open, you'll get some amazing shots!

[FlyingPhotog]

I might have to get one myself just to jump on the Perry pig pile... :lol:

[OldA1]

Ah yes, another victim er I mean example of the "Perry Influence" :) and why we shouldn't let this (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=675739) thread fade away quietly and quickly.

But, in all fairness to Perry, he is not alone and I for one thank him and all the others who take the time and effort to supply us with real world testing and use of gear to help influence our decisions.:)

Peace
Mark

[AlanU]

Ignorance is bliss. I love my 85 f/1.8.

Tim I hate you due to your lovely gearlist you have :P

[zincozinco]

You don find him... Hell find you...

[mastertech01]

You wont be real mad till he posts a new thread about how he sold his 85L cause it sucks and the 35L is better, or the 135L, or the 200L or the 50L etc etc ... THEN you will be mad.

[BigBlueDodge]

I think you will find the 85L permanently mounted to your 5D MKII. The 85L was meant to go on a FF camera.

[Lazuka]

In complete honesty, you won't want to use your other lenses anymore :(

[S.Horton]

If you go to B&H, and say "Perry", do you get a discount?

[FlyingPhotog]

If you go to B&H, and say "Perry", do you get a discount?

A secret door opens and you're ushered into a back room full of hot fashion models and free graduate-level courses. ;)

[S.Horton]

I think it may be like my CVS card -- Discount on batteries.

Oh, and I've taken my last exam; I don't want any more grad courses!

[vpnd]

Sometimes I wisper sweet nothings to it and tell it it's the sexiest lens I've ever seen. My wife is jealous

[datadump]

perry is definitely a jerk.
i cancelled my order for my 24LII because i was having second thoughts .. he made me want 85LII instead. i realised 24mm isnt worth the insane price tag as much as the 85LII.

perry u've got some mad-ass spouses after you

[foxesamu]

Sometimes I wisper sweet nothings to it and tell it it's the sexiest lens I've ever seen. My wife is jealous
LMAO.

This thread is hilarious. I want to see that back room!

[khall]

$1870 bargain it's over 3G in OZ

[Adama]

I don't know about you guys but Perry is my hero :)

[shannyD]

i just had to return the one i borrowed.. i didnt want to.. man is it a sweet lens.. enjoy! maybe you can buy the wife a nice set of diamond earrings so you can take her photo with the L ?? you know.. just food for thought. ;)

[Lazuka]

This all feeds into my suspicions that he works for canon.

[tonylong]

We need pictures! Anyone have any shots of a jealous wife chasing around the Energizer Bunny with a meat cleaver:)?

[S.Horton]

I think Perry's last name is really Westfall.

[Az2Africa]

After you heal up from the beating your wife gives you, you'll really enjoy the 85L. Hell. it's worth the price just to hold it up off camera and look through that giant glass hole!!:D

[S.Horton]

If I bought that lens, and she got mad, I'd take a picture of her flipping out.

Just for grins.

And if Perry pays the OP, I'm next, but I want a 200L.

[tharmsen]

I tried to order it with the 50L but I'll be damned if no one has the 50L in stock (well... Adorama and B&H don't).

Why is there a run on 50L's?

[versedmb]

:D:D:D.....

[Yohan Pamudji]

Don't get on Perry's gear merry-go-round. You can't hang. Nobody can.

[caseyjohnphotography]

$1870, argh so cheap there about $3,100 in Australia =[

[FlyingPhotog]

I tried to order it with the 50L but I'll be damned if no one has the 50L in stock (well... Adorama and B&H don't).

Why is there a run on 50L's?

Lack of major demand = Lack of major supply

Whole lot of Thrifty Fifty and Nifty Fifty users
Nowhere near as many Shifty Fifty users

[S.Horton]

Isn't that a Perry-go-Round?

Check out KEH. They have a used 50L f/1.0 for $4500. :D

My 85L II is coming tomorrow!!! Should mate nicely with my 5D Mark II :)

[tonylong]

By the way, Perry's been seemingly missing the past few days...I don't think he's even responded to this thread. Where in the world is Perry Ge?

[Perry Ge]

'Sup?

:cool:

Good lens, that 85L.

[tonylong]

He's alive! He's alive!

[Perry Ge]

Yeah it's finally gotten warm and sunny outside, so I've been spending most of my time outdoors rather than on POTN :p.

OP: congrats on the lens. Take some time to get learn it, the 85L takes a bit of getting used to. But once you nail it...damn.

[nicksan]

You were outside shooting?
Not a good enough excuse to ignore POTN! ;):lol:

[ErikM]

I super-glued my 85L to my 5D2

[divinemethod]

^

I did what he did.

[Perry Ge]

^ Toronto ftw! 85L capital of the world :lol:.

Oh, "Shifty Fifty"--very nice! Did you coin that phrase? I want to know who to credit when I use it.

[trip9]

Perry should talk to Canon about getting a commission for all the business he's getting them.

[4honor]

Isn't that a Perry-go-Round?

Oh, very clever... :D

[ErikM]

Canon should just make a 5D2-85L point and shoot camera... no changing lenses allowed!

[franklinn]

see my gear in my signature??

Yeah. thats Perry's doing.

[MinhThien]

oh no.... Perry got another victim!:p

[bsaber]

Perry almost got me but I'm smart. I have my sights set on a 50L :p

[tharmsen]

Perry almost got me but I'm smart. I have my sights set on a 50L :p
Yeah, me too if I could find one for $1450 or so. B&H has a great price but never has them in stock.

[bsaber]

Yeah, me too if I could find one for $1450 or so. B&H has a great price but never has them in stock.

Yeah, I've noticed that. But I don't have the money for it yet so doesn't really matter to me at the moment.

[tharmsen]

I just said "screw it" and bought a 50 f/1.4 from another user here. I'll buy one later if I don't like the 1.4. I suspect it will suit my needs just fine.

I'm thinking of getting 1.4 too. Absolutely hate using the 1.8 right now. Let me know how you like the 1.4. I just might order one from Adorama or B&H whenever they get it in stock. :D

[FlyingPhotog]

Not me...

Saw it on here somewhere else.

I'm glad i'm not the only one that hates the 1.8.

[bsaber]

I'm glad i'm not the only one that hates the 1.8.

It's a sharp little thing though... Too bad that's the only thing I like about it.

[S.Horton]

Has anyone PM'd Perry yet?

[tonylong]

Has anyone PM'd Perry yet?

You mean about this thread? He showed up a while ago (or was it yesterday...I get so confused), said hi, said he was busy doing things, and has neglected his "fans" since:)!

[S.Horton]

Well, perhaps he's off making money -- a job, something like that.

[bsaber]

His job is getting forum members to spend money :p

[Lazuka]

His job is getting forum members to spend money :p

Because he works for canon.

I think in all honesty, he's trying to figure out why his speedlight doesn't work.


:o:o:o:o:o:o

[Karl Johnston]

That was goodbw!

:o:o:o:o:o:o

This is interesting - makes me start to wonder that maybe Perry does not get any money from Canon. Why else would he be having problems with his flash? Is he ashamed to admit that he can't afford name brand batteries and has to suffer with unreliable generics such as emptyloops and nevergizers?:p

Anyway, just a thought.
Peace
Mark

[datadump]

Perry I HATE YOU and MY WIFE HATES YOU TOO.
i just bought one considering b&h offers instant rebate $130USD now (even to Canadian orders)

[Wazza]

Would it be back to consider a 2nd 85L, for the other body... Darn that Perry ;)

[datadump]

<capslock>THIS LENS IS INSANE. IT TOTALLY DESTROYS MY 50L AT F/1.2.... COLOR/CONTRAST is TOTALLY FREAKING ME OUT</capslock>

ok i have never thought this lens would be THAT good. floored. focus is as expected, a bit slow but its freaking accurate. it is MUCH heavier than i thought... but whatever!

Yes sir, it's a heavy lens, but so gorgeous looking on your cam ;)

Yes, it''s crazy. It obliterates my 50L at f1.2 as well, and is my most accurate focusing lens.

[datadump]

if i'm ever in toronto with my wife, please be aware. she's not happy with me and... you. seriously. this lens is build by the hands of God himself.
