Mayra gets the better end of the deal.

Because of that she was able to drive down and get me!

First world problems

He's complaining about wifi... I'm complaining about no power... Yet there's people with no houses here on LI. Boy I lucked out.

Finally ordered a set of Gitzo legs and an RRS BH-55 ballhead with a plate. Cost me nearly $1,400 but worth it.
No more shooting long exposures with my video fluid-head tripod (I lost my $200 manfrotto tripod back in June)

Systematic 6x 4 section.
I lost it after my NYC wedding shoot in June. Eh. It was a cheapo anyways, I didn't like it.
I always wanted a sturdy one so I can use my 70-200 lens as well.
All I need is an L bracket that's designed for the battery grip. Come on RRS hurry up with your design and start shipping them already!!!

I left the tripod somewhere in NYC. That's how I "lost" it

Yeah a good set of legs are expensive! But it's much better than going through a few sets and THEN getting a good one. If you're getting a tripod, get a good one right away. I wanted to spend around $500 total but then I thought about it and I KNEW I would upgrade later on. So I had to spend over a thousand bucks to get a good setup including all of the plates, L bracket, clamp, etc.

Once you buy a good set of legs, you'll never have to upgrade for a long while. I have two sets of Gitzo legs and they've never given me issues. I may pick up an RRS set up later.

Really good deal for a D5100...

Morning all!

Good Morning Dan

Morning guys!

Went to Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara today and tested out the D600, D800 and the 5D MKIII...
I must say...the shutter sound of the 5D MKIII seems weird

the 24-120mm f/4 seems pretty nice on the D800

My eyes were glowing looking at all the Gitzo tripods, thinktank bags, lowepro bags, vanguard etc... all the different lenses, Leica and even big a$$ telescopes
