Is that so you can do happy laps every friday and sat nights in comfort?

POTNers seems to be much better when you use the magical words "Paypal Verified"

haha ye my parents are going over there next week, so i can get them to bring it back. Going to be in europe over the summer anyways, thinking about buying it $880, then selling it once i get back... should be able to break even.

I am going to Byron bay over the December holiday's and found for surfing shots my 70-200 just isn't always long enough.

So i was just seeing who here had one or who here is willing to "rent" it out for two weeks.

Happy to pay if anyone is able. PM me if you can

Meh just bought it, 135 f2 for $800usd, deal i couldn't really pass up. Grey imports go for $1400 new here. Don't wanna drag my 70-200 2.8 IS when i go away (to heavy!)... the 135 should be easier to travel with.

A quick question guys. What wide angle primes are there below 24mm that are faster than 2.8 that work on the EF mounts?

[Aszental]

14 2.8L II i think is the only smaller prime.

The longest day.....Today my 1D MK111 is set to arrive via UPS every time i hear a car i dash to the window only to be beset by a feeling of disappointment once more ....
UPS where are you ?

Don't you love it when you go "I wish this thing could do <whatever>" and then find that it can? Who knew the mkIII could copy from one card to the other? WIN!
