Cool..

[LadyHawk]

Looks nice and clear on my monitor. I can see the fabric texture on the strap...

[Michaelmjc]

Nice setup there, got enough batery packs? ;)

I got 2 of the, 2 x 1800mah, for $18us shipped. I have a BG-E1 on the way, and if I'm not mistaken it holds 2. So I will in turn have 1 out as a spare. I couldn't beat the price.

[jfrancho]

I have three batteries, but only use one in the grip at a time.

[dharris]

I have three batteries, but only use one in the grip at a time.

Why only one at a time?

[jfrancho]

It is purely psychosematic: the camera feels half as heavy with one.

[willg]

where do you get those rubber lens hoods? do they work well?

Ritz, they're like $6us. You see it at 20mm and wider.

They are great for shooting through glass, i.e. public aquariums.

[dharris]

OK, here is a limited selection of toys. My 50 is at my aunts house. She can't believe that the 50mm is better than her old kit 35-80mm....:lol: Love all that red...

[willg]

damn...you a pro or something? thats a lot of L glass

Amazing... I don't think in the years I've been on this forum we have had a "show us your EOS stuff" thread...
The closest I recall is a shot of the inside of a certain members closet,. which contained a lot of empty boxes... a LOT of empty boxes...

Are we going to see the heavy hitters weighing in here soon?

[dharris]

I want to see some big fast glass. You know the kind of lens you can use a coffee can for a lens hood.:)

I have it on good authority that the closet in question now contains fewer small boxes, but has two decidedly larger boxes sitting on the floor. I'm also led to believe that some of the smaller boxes have been dispersed to other parts of North America (including Canada).

[jfrancho]

I thought I'd submit a pic highlighting my new high tech softbox.

Sorry for the crappy blast of flash hehe. I didn't include my tripod in the shot.

[dorkn]

This goes on my 20D

did your 70-200L come with a soft case or any kind of case?

Here are some of those Mastercard sales assistants welcoming me once again.

http://www.martinoberhauser.com/galerien/images/2003/canon_2003/images/10-Agents_canon_2003.jpg

They have a lookout on the roof or in the carpark I think, 'cause they're at the door reviewing my credit limit as soon I approach. Anyone else got EOS* cheerleaders?



*Extensive Over-Spending

[sixshot]

Go to any camera shop and you can see my kit sitting there waiting for me!! 20D gonna be here is soooooooon.....

[O/confusion]

Guess this is just about as interesting, and it certainly gets to the point faster. What's next...show us your groceries?

[dharris]

Cute! I still have money left over to eat pretty well. I know a pro that has spent more money on his gear than some do on their car. Then again, he makes money from his gear.

[Carzee]

There is an element of one-up-manship in every pursuit... I remember Winchester had gold plated rifles commemorating special events and Olympus had gold plated cameras for their execs etc.

Is there a golden EOS 1 on some collector's shelf?

I suppose if there was a gold EOS I could get one and proudly put it on show in a glass display cabinet downstairs in my EOS den...

BTW, if ever you're in town, call in and share a yarn! :cool:

[rebel61021]

I think I have a little problem, this started out as a hobby and then the bug bit and I started collecting the L glass now I am just cooling down the wallet and the credit cards and enjoying the pictures I get to take. Thanks to all the great lady's and gentelman here for helping me in the right direction.

[Wazza]

http://wazz*****scity.com/temp/d_compare.jpg

I would like to say they're all mine. But sadly no.

Only the 20D is mine.

[jabtas]

Here is my collection, unfortunatly the 50e hasn't fired a shot now for about 3-4 years but it still works perfectly

Only got this Dino EOS (its 4 years old and its a Dino :()

Well, here's part of my kit in my high-tech poly-vinyl-chloride, double-walled camera bag.

http://www.pbase.com/photosbytom/image/36850921.jpg

I can't believe that I'm still getting use out of that image.

[dharris]

Dino? Not at all, that is an awesome little film holder you have there.

[KirkM]

How about just the boxes? I can't stand the thought of cutting them up just for a rebate :)

[dharris]

now where have I seen that photo before?

[mbze430]

Here are my stuff (http://mysite.verizon.net/turbo2/album/Tools%20of%20Trade/index.html), but it's missing my 1DMKII. I should find time to take a picture of the 1DmKII

That image confirms something I wondered about, just never seen them 'side by side', the 20D's battery grip is not as nice and tidy as the Elan 7's (EOS30).

[tim]

I'll hold of posting until my new toys arrive, and until my Mum gives me back my baby camera (A70) so I can take a photo of my camera!

[cjm]

Here's mine:
http://www.lowden.net.nz/Stuff/EF.jpg

In my dreams :cry: What is that? Like $100,000 worth of lenes?

[FlyingPete]

What is that? Like $100,000 worth of lenes?

I think the 1200mm in the background is about that much by itself!

The L's and non L's are around 50/50 in this image, so we should all have half outr lenses as L's :cool:

[CyberDyneSystems]

I'm more like 70% "L" in number... but the others are "L-like" ;) (or is it "L-ish")

[Tom W]

I find myself around 60% L, and I'm not quite sure how it happened.

[FlyingPete]

I'm more like 70% "L" in number... but the others are "L-like" ;) (or is it "L-ish")

Even better! I am messing with the stats around here by having 5 non-L lenses, better get some L's to correct that :cool:

[Longwatcher]

What is that? Like $100,000 worth of lenes?

The last time I did a count it was about $68,000ish for everything, but the 1200, which is guessed at between $72,000 to $90,000 (or more then all of the others combined)

As to showing my toys, I showed most of them to Belmondo, live and in person, does that count?

I don't want to unpack my camera bag(s), it might frighten me. I know it will frighten my poor helpless credit card. I already melted one down.

[cjm]

1200? So those must be custom built and ordered for a price tag like that huh? Can't see there being that many who could afford to have that, never mind a store keeping them in stock.

[Tom W]

I don't want to unpack my camera bag(s), it might frighten me. I know it will frighten my poor helpless credit card. I already melted one down.

I started to unpack mine this morning to take a "group" shot. I got cold feet and put them all back.

I feel your pain...

[CyberDyneSystems]

I feel your pain...

For me it was the thought of collecting all the bits and peices scattered throughout the Bachelor Pad... :shock: why that would be VERY VERY close to actually CLEANING! http://members.bellatlantic.net/~vze2hdzu/pics/scared.gif


Time for a -STAR WARS- quote!

[pcasciola]

Here's my modest, but rapidly growing set of EOS equipment.

Now all I need is a 1DMkII, 300/2.8L IS, 17-40L, 120-300/2.8 and I'll be done. :lol:

http://www.casciola.com/pics/stuff.jpg

[cjm]

Man Phil, you're making me drool! Thats some nice stuff you got there! What kind of camera did you use to take the picture of your treasures?

[Wazza]

A Sony P72 according to the EXIF.

I just wished my Sony V1 still worked. I liked how compact it was, and the fact I could record movies. :(

I have so many fun little movies, and capturing important times, such as speeches at 21sts.
Nice gear btw Phil

[ssim]

I suppose this is a good opportunity to take everything out of the bag and clean it up.

Missing from this shot is the 10D, 100-300 lens and 24-85 lens (my son scammed them from me). The 20D and the 50 1.8 are taking the shot.

The 1DMKII is attached to the 500.

http://www.pbase.com/ssim/image/42844637.jpg

[pcasciola]

Wow, Sheldon. Now THAT'S a nice setup!!!!

I just realized I completely forgot to put my extenders in there.

So, you're 100% L glass?

[ssim]

Pretty much all L with the exception of the 50 and the 100 macro.

Thanks

Hey, Sheldon, do you have a glossy pink lipstick in your cosmetic case I can borrow for a sec? I need to put a little more shine on my lips. And while you're at it, hand me the blush compact, too.

LOL ;) :mrgreen: :lol: :D ;)

[Belmondo]

It looks somewhat simillar to my mess. I don't have the big DO lens, though. I refuse to pull it all together in one place for a picture, out of fear that my wife might see the pile and start asking embarrassing questions.

If Louis Vuitton ever starts makeing camera equipment, my wife and I might actually be able to share a hobby.

[CyberDyneSystems]

... oh my :shock:

[Rob612]

:D :D I always wondered the same thing... I also wonder if Hermes will do, upon request, scuba wetsuites... :D :D

[pradeep1]

Ooh, lookey, camera porn.

[roanjohn]

Ooh, lookey, camera porn.

:D :D :D :lol: :lol: :lol:

Rated Triple L!!!

[Tom W]

Yes - its exciting!! :)

BTW, who on earth is Louis Vuitton? I hope that he's not part of this whole camera porn thing.

LOL ;) :mrgreen: :lol: :D ;)

Somehow I figured that I would get that from someone. I tried fitting the other two "cosmetic" cases in but it just didn't look right.

BTW - I think you left your eyeliner here last time.:) :)

[thomascanty]

I finally gathered all my stuff together for a picture.

http://www.ldphotography.net/cdpf/myeosgear.jpg

Ignore the creases in the sheet. I should have smoothed those out.

[picture-this]

Thats an neat flash setup, could you post a pic taken with this combo?

I don't feel so bad now. 5 bodies in that picture and at least one more to take the shot.http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gifhttp://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif

[thomascanty]

I only recently got the bracket, so I don't have many pictures yet using the full setup. Here are a few from a few weeks ago, though. The 580EX with SoftBox was aimed forward and the 420EX with OmniBounce was aimed at a 45 degree angle at the ceiling.

What did you use to take the picture with?

My Olympus C-8080WZ. I also have my Canon PowerShot S330 and Pentax K1000 with me. Yep, I really travel with eight cameras. I'm in Vegas, by the way. I just returned to my room from the Ferrari dealership in the new Wynn resort. I can't decide if I want to get the red one or the black one... :lol: :lol: :lol:

[CyberDyneSystems]

man, tom . . . that setup has got to weigh a ton around your neck and in your hands. http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif

[Rob612]

I can't decide if I want to get the red one or the black one... :lol: :lol: :lol:

No way !!!! You have the right to drive a Ferrari only if RED. Any other color is just wrong ! You know that "Ferrari Red" is somehow a patented color ? Just like Porsche should be "Porsche green" or a olt BWM bike should be black.

No choices here, my friend. If its going to be a Ferrari, red is the only choice.

:D

[felix21685]

:) i was all happy to post my 2 bodies and 2 lenses and my old TLR

after seeing all this L glass man..

doesnt seem like much but i love it..
taken with roomates samsung P&S..can u believe it only has digital zoom and no optical ??? how can they sell something like this ?

Lonnie, you know, you don't have to get a separate body for each lens you buy. You are allowed to swap lenses on a body, you know! :confused:

LOL :lol: :mrgreen: ;)

I'm curious, what are the models of the different bodies you have there, anyway?

[thomascanty]

It is a bit heavy, but not too bad. I don't think so anyway. It's more awkward than heavy.

No choices here, my friend. If its going to be a Ferrari, red is the only choice.

To be perfectly honest, if I had the money and was seriously going to buy the car, there's no question... It would be black. That's the only car color I even like. Red is my second least favorite color for a car, right behind yellow. I can't stand either one of 'em.

Lonnie, you know, you don't have to get a separate body for each lens you buy.

NOW you tell me! :lol: Actually, I have a few other, third-part lenses that I left at home. I didn't include them in the picture because I haven't used them in years. By that same logic though, I should have left the two bodies on the left at home, too. I haven't run any film through either of those in at least two years. I actually only brought them with me just to put in that picture. I do use all of the other cameras mentioned and pictured, though.

The bodies, left to right, are: Rebel 2000, Rebel 2000 with grip, 20D with grip, 10D with grip and Elan 7E with grip.

Well.. despite any philosophical aspect... I suppose that anybody that has the money for a Ferrary has the right to buy it in any color he likes :D

Still, mine will be red (don't know when and even if...) its not my favourite color also, but...
