Omar, did you see Cavendish's stage 2 win at the Giro?

No i have not. Was it epic? I have it recorded on the DVR but with how crazy the weekend has been i have not had time to catch up. Heard Cav went down in a crash today!

What? I also have the Peterson and Audubon birding apps. ibirds is better.

But do I really need 3?

MOkoFOko wrote in post #14393882
Birds, bugs, foliage/ground and sky are the only constants--you'll see them no matter where you go. If you don't have a macro and birding/telephoto lens, what's wrong with you?

Heheh. I think I'm gonna pick up a 2x III extender for the extra reach.
Not into macro that much though. Maybe I'll pick up a 100L later on this year. We'll see

Lets say you have a rotten tuna sandwich, and a PB&J sandwich with a cockroach in it. You have the opportunity to buy a fresh roast beef sandwich. Now, do you really NEED that 3rd sandwich? Enjoy your PB&J&Cockroach sandwich then.

What a waste of $200. You can get a 2x II for $200 used, and you won't really see any difference on the 70-200 II. That would be a different matter if you had a 400mm 2.8 IS II. For that extra $200, you could have gotten that 82mm Fader ND.

I think your analogy is off... the purpose of eating is for sustenance and enjoyment. A rotten sandwich provides neither. I suspect (although I am no bird expert) Peterson and Audubon both function as bird identifying apps. iBirds may be better, but then the analogy would be more like "You have a Scion tC and a Acura TSX. You have the opportunity to buy a Mercedes S class. Now do I really NEED the S class?" Nope!

Wow, used 2x's go for $200 now? Almost as cheap as a new Kenko.

Damit boys!!! Which is gonna be, Kenko or Canon?!

It was a typical Cav ass kicking in the last KM.

There was a wreck on the last turn though, but he was ahead of it.

No, my analogy is accurate. A rotten tuna sandwich will still provide sustenance and keep you alive. If it's not too rotten, you won't get sick--minor bellyache, and the taste will be off.

Not everyone here is a car person--and those models are completely localized to this region. Not everyone can relate to that example. Everyone understands food--tunafish, PB&J, and Roast Beef are available most anywhere in the world. I win.

5DIII definitely.

d800

MOkoFOko wrote in post #14393866
Depends what you're using it for. Sports tracking, edge to the 1d2. Better build, FPS, and wider FOV. In most any other case, I would take the 50d. Has MA, larger LCD, live view, better ISO/resolution. And it is nicer having a smaller frame + pop-up flash.

ah ok, ill keep the 50d then. was hoping iso was better. one day though.. i like the build on the 1d and would go good with the 70-200 for event shootings.

thanks

The Kenko MC4 (which I heard is actually better than the Kenko Pro) is about $130 on eBay. The Pro300 is about $180 on eBay. I guess if you want weather sealing, go with the Canon. Otherwise, I have been pretty happy with my Kenko.
