Brisbane POTN Coffee Club (3) - Everything From Shutters to Cuppas

lol!! you switched??? you traitor j/k

I didn't like aperture probably cos the powermac was crusty

You're a crusty powermac. Don't worry Lightroom is still installed. So I can still tell you how to use the thing Mr "I dunno how to change my portrait crop to a landscape crop".

I also switched for more reason than "It was made by Apple". Aperture runs so much faster since version 2 came out.

Mmmmmm talking about coffee reminds me I've only had one today thus far.

Wanders off for a top up.

You caffeine addict. You probably drank most of your caffeine during your gaming weekends.

I use to drink coffee most mornings before uni started. I blame the city for having a lot of cafes on the way to QUT. But now I'm a tea man. TEA FTW!!!

LMAO!

Great idea - might do that too.

And (considering this is a photog site) ponder what lens to get next (after the 100 macro)

135L

or 35L

hmmmmmmm if the Sigma lens has a default or anything, where do I sent it to? Back America or somewhere here locally? (I would check the net but i'm on the wireless and its kinda slooooooooooooooow :P).

a default?

there's CR Kennedy in SA (I think) which is the AU authorised distro and repairer. If you buy a local stock one, then you can send it there for warranty. If Grey or out of warranty, then you can send it there but it'll cost.

If you buy from B&H or Adorama i think you are fine to send it there also, i made the mistake of buying my sigma lenses from DigitalRev so i have to pay to get them claibrated or repaired.

Also, anyone watching "the spring" on 7 now? some weird fountain of youth movie which has me glued to the screen. If the intermittent rain would buzz off i would take a trip to cedar creek but doesn't look like that will happen.

I was thinking zoominess - keen to get a 10-22, and would need to fil the gap between that and the 70-200 which I have already.....

Or should I not bother about filling the entire gap and get a coupla primes.....

David don't ask Feng, you will get a totally biased viewpoint

My walkabout lens is 24-70 2.8L which is nice, albeit a bit of a weight to lug around.

I only bought that lens coz I listened to some caffeine addict called Feng, oh hangabout, I just told you not to listen to him yet I did - sigh

LOL! it's 'manual' zoom... press button, twist, pull off, put on new lens... you've zoomed from 35mm to 135

yes... yes I am biased but I have a 24-70 too... just don't use it all that much now that my rucksack is full of walkabout primes

Hey what's to stop you putting some of those primes on the market and reducing your mortgage

Alas I have been sucked in by Feng's advice and, sadly, actually take on board most of what he says because (whispers) it usually makes sense.

Then he comes out with a "buy two instead of one" statement, and I wonder.......

Yes, he does have that innate ability to baffle us with bulls**t eh

Oh I'm fine until I get the "but wait, there's more" I know I have a problems when I realise another set of steak knives is coming

here is something for the bond ... a very roughly tracked single exposure of the Orion Nebula taken a couple of weekends ago.

Oooh pretty !

Hmmph. We tried to organise a car club run to their place.

Me, bitter? Never!

Our club has also attempted a visit on a couple of occasions, but nothing came of it. Difficult people for sure.

Do any of you guys own the Sigma 10-20mm lens?

Yep - no issues with it at all


Oh wow, I actually made it to the end of the thread.
