wha? That's a lot of money to not like it. Why bother?

Cause I want a more compact, discreet camera and I kinda want the best :lol:

I might consider an X-Pro 1 as well, it isn't even close to that time to decide yet so I'm not going to really worry yet. I just don't want to bring a huge DSLR with me to college, I want to keep it as light as possible with the best possible quality. I figured either an M8 or M9 w/ a 50 f/2 as my college camera.. Whoa knows, maybe I wont even sell off my camera or just trade it up for a 5DIII.

But I found some guys flickr who has full-res photos of M9 w/ 50 f/0.95, a lot of shots shot at f/3.5 and the bokeh is still insane.

I knew this was going to happen :lol:

Nikon fanboy at heart. :lol: Selling the 1Dx for about $1K cheaper may have swayed me that way.

Seems to be about a 6 month rotation. Comes see me in July. :lol:

Just sold the Sigma to the guy who bought all my other gear. Only my Canon 100-400L went to someone different.

Thanks Dan! Time to pick up the pace once i get the jetlag out of my system. Have a couple of winners from the trip. Excited to share them once i get through the images. Really need to buy that HDMI camera cable for the canon cameras. Makes showing the images/video to friends much easier :)

Damn a used Sigma 35 1.4 is a fantastic bargain. Seems like that guy is building up his stock?

He told me he already had the 35L but based on his research he knew it was a must buy lens. ;)
