Brisbane POTN: General Ramblings Thread

Will do, they're deliveringt to my PO Box, I just want to go out there and camp in the post office for the afternoon!

Sad thing is I only have one lens at the moment, just my 100mm macro. I sold all my others and still waiting for my two new ones to arrive

For sure, just a shame it's not a telephoto zoom and a wide angle!

My 24-70 *should* be here early next week, my 70-200 is still a little way off

YAY! love my 24-70 too mmm bricky goodness.

where's your 70-200 coming from?!

Ohh Kinnon that sounds fantastic! You need to update your signature! I can't believe you sold your 50mm, are you planning on upgrading to the 1.4 later ?
We sure have been rather chatty the last week or so haven't we?

Just popped out to the back yard to try out the tubes in some real light. Turns out i shouldnt have been so lazy and taken my tripod down with me but, meh

Here is the only decent one of the bunch i took,

Feng, getting them both second hand from the US. Saved myself about $2000 in doing so.

Yep Helen, sold my 50mm. It gave me the sh*ts with it's slow focus. I think my next lens purchase will be another wide angle because I know i will miss my 10-22. Then I will probably get the 50 1.4 because I know I'll miss that one too.

The sigma 12-24mm perhaps? That would be one of the first things i would buy if i had a 5d

Last call for any B&H stuff.

So far there's Helen and myself... post what you're after, and i'll place the order tomorrow.

So there is still room to get one of these?

If i had the money, or more importantly had some way of sending you the money, i would put in for a plamp and a little reflector. But i guess ill wait until the next round of orders
