60D users, friends and their random OT B.S. (II)

Are you selling them individually? Or together? Seen most users here buy stuff separately and probably be yer best bet~~

Listed them all separate.

70-200+5D

I'm trying $525, $250, and $325, respectively. Does that seem reasonable?

Methinks you need to post some good photos of the equipment before dropping the prices any further. People want to see what they're going to buy. $250 is a steal for that siggy 30!

Vinz, that long shadow behind the woman on the right is driving me bonkers. Is that from your flash?

I know. I was planning to post some tonight. Have to take some before I can post anything. hah

Have any of you guys been reading about the new 55-250 EFS?

Apparently it has the same clarity and sharpness of the 70-200F2.8 IS II

If I was still shooting with a crop camera, I would gladly dump my 70-200 F4 IS for one of those if the MTF charts are accurate. It would give more zoom range and reduce weight by a large amount, which would be killer for backcountry hiking. My 70-200 is very rarely used, but it still needs to be lugged around.

I wish I could just afford two kits and buy a 70D with a 10-22 and 55-250 II STM for when my backpack starts getting upwards of 70 lbs with gear. The 6D is light but the lenses are tanks.

I find that very hard to believe. I'd check at dxomark.com in about 3 months... I would bet that it's just the 55-250 with a different focusing motor, but I've been wrong before.

If I didn't own a Sigma 35 I would have jumped on his lens ..one of the more bokehlicious lenses~

Finally got around to taking my second set of photos -- this time my mom:

Nope! It is 100% redesigned optically and mechanically. Better build, along with better optics, better faster focusing, rear focusing, etc. Still at a killer price and weight.

All of Canon's redesigned low end lenses with STM have been rocking the charts with center sharpness at the very least.

DXO is a joke when it comes to lens reviews. I find looking at the image samples of the ISO chart at The Digital Picture really show what a lens can do compared to other lenses. Remember, DXO claims the 70-200 2.8 v1 is better than the v2, which is a ludicrous claim.

I think from my flash. I remember i already removed my flash from my lightstand. I was just holding it with my left hand and raised it up.

I usually set my flash really high. This was at the end of the day long wedding. I was wrapping things up and some few guys posed and asked for a pic. This pic is not included in the album.

I did find the page for the STM lens now. You're right, it looks like a major optical redesign. Looks sharper at 55 and a lot sharper at 250. I've been saving up for a 70-200/4L, but this may change my plans, thanks.

Hello everyone, been a while i've posted here! Hope everyone is doing well.

Here are a few from an outing today.
