I'm glad I'm a cannon tog I once considered buying noink body and glass Man, I'd be PWN3D! Since the first time I put my hands on a cannon camera and cannon lense I've been a very happy photog This is an expensive hobby though Maybe some start cheap with glass like the nifty fifty or basic tammy But once you pull the trigger on bigger stuff like the magic drainpipe or bigma it gets expensive Who cares though when you see that magic brown truck pulling over it's all good And should I mention the quality aparature and whibal of all cannon gear and lenses? Not really all togs know it PWN3S other brands like noink.
ok thanks bye

Well said, in time my Son, your quest may end for "The Grail Lens"
and you may achieve divine ascension over even "The Holy Trinity"

In a land where we are overrun with Fairies, what's wrong with a little mythology to keep things interesting.

I do have a problem when people give digital items "special powers" as if they are greater than the sum of their electronic parts (mostly in reverence to the 5D these days). I do believe a photo can have "magic" that evokes emotion; that type of magic typically comes courtesy of LIGHT. The magic of light is something we should all have a proper reverence for.

I am occasionally surprised that digital 'togs haven't gone so far as analog audiophiles, questioning what brand of transistors are used inside their cameras or perhaps re-wiring the sensor to the DIGIC, perhaps with an esoteric silver wire from Germany.

"I'm so stoked; I just pulled the trigger and re-cabled my 5D entirely with Shulzenfrank Silver Elite -- pure silver with tungsten/platinum solder -- you should see the magic this thing puts out now! The highlights sparkle and the shadows have an amazing presence"

I didn't mind it at first but the mogrifications into "holy trinity of f/4 zooms" or "holy trinity of cheap primes" have made it into a meaningless connotation when everyone has their own version.

Rock it, man. This sounds like the same GOD that Einstein and Hawking and Dawkins refer to when they speak of the miracle of nature.

"PWN3D", what does this mean?

Original reference has a link. Basically, in the original sense it's hacker/cracker speak for "owned" - if I hacked your computer so I now control it, it's PWN3D by me.

I believe PWNED aka PWN3D began when a gamer tried to talk trash to another gamer and instead of typing OWNED typed PWNED... it has become standard lingo in all games now. lol

...the next thing we'll read about is "The Selfishe Lense"....

Ohhhh, nice! The Holy Crap lenses.

I pretty much agree with all the above posts.

I agree, but that is not proper American English usage, and I am an American who writes for a living.

In that case I appologise

Who ever said we speak the same language?

Well, you and I certainly don't. Hell, I can't even find someone in my local town who speaks Standard English, much less someone overseas.

I do like most British mysteries, though. They require thought, unlike most American ones. Good show!
