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

You know that sounds bad, right?

Only if you are thinking of Annie Sprinkles...

So...I am pondering if I should consider selling something off from my kit. Mainly the 18-135 kit lens....maybe the 55-250... Not worth the most, dunno if they are worth more as a backup or lighter/cheap options or to loan to friends or whatever or sell them off. Seems like I have kind of moved away from them now, and really in the same focal length as the 18-135 I have the S100.

I should sell my 18-135 as well. I never use it. I almost always use my 70-200 or my 10-24. Once in a blue moon, I will use my 50.

Get rid of the kit lens, K. The nifty-250 is a far superior lens. But, of course you should move on to better glass. If I had to number which to sell first...the 18-135 would be first to offload.

One from today - good stuff or selective color suck?

Selective color or not - great sharp detail!

I like selective color shots - lets the creativity flow.

Been very quiet in here today..

Here are a few birds.

[He just got the 70-300L, in his sig... that's certainly the 'better glass' category ]

Keyan - Like you are pondering - I got a G12 as a carry-on for wide and mid-range zoom (28-140mm).
Sure I love my 15-85 but since I'm wearing my 70-300L 95% of the time - the G12 is serving its purpose most splendidly... all the better for your 'pocketable' s100

I'd sell the 18-135 & 55-250.
you have the 17-55 & 70-300. A 15mm gap? Take two steps forward or backwards

That there is a beautiful Canary... well done

Thanks Will..

really sharp.

what body and lens?

Not a bad idea....

Thanks Vinz, both are shot with 60D and 70-200 f4L Non IS

Well ordered my 60d and 18-135 from the cpl today. And I know this has been asked but what is good software for windows to check the shutter count when I get it, and what do you guys think is the shutter count where I should sent it back? I know it am only paying 831$ for something that is 1200 new and I should be happy for the deal but i don't want to get something with like over 5k shutter count right? seem's like that would be something that was a floor model not a 30day return like they advertise.

I heard of this site recently - although I have not tried it...
