Appreciated :cool:

My only concern is that Im not nearly good enough yet for a 1D3.

Don't worry about that. A great camera expands your capabilities.

My only concern is that Im not nearly good enough yet for a 1D3. Thats not false modesty - Ive only been shooting DSLR for 8 months. Thanks to forums like this Ive learnt HEAPS but not sure I can do that camera justice.

And you think I'm good enough for a 1ds III, or any of the gear I own for that matter?? No flippin way...

Im shooting outdoors/offroad stuff as part of writing freelance stories for a 4WD magazine so the 5D IQ is plenty.

Yeah it sure is, but how's that build quality on the 5d?? ;)

I just think for useful features even the 1D Classic is better than the 5D in many ways.

Like i said its :confused::confused: ??? :confused::confused:

If you can afford it, I say go for it.

Aaargh........... decisions :confused:

Love my 1d Classic and think a 1D3 would be awesome.

Theres one for sale at the moment for a good price. And someone else looking for a 70-200F4L IS which I have and rarely use. I can almost justify buying the 1D3 by putting the money from a lens sale towards it.

decisions..... :confused:

Do it Andrew! Do it baby!

I'm still thinking the 85/1.2 might be the go. I just don't want to go anywhere without it...

How about 85L in the rucksack (in a padded cover or something) with your laptop in it, 24-70+1d3 on your shoulder....

miccullen wrote in post #7363228 (external link)
I rarely use it, preferring to use the PWs and run everything in manual. But there are circumstances where it's a whole lot easier to use ETTL.

I currently run everything in manual, but a lot of times I find it very frustrating (for not posed/preset things) I would love the E-TTL system, when I can afford a st-e2/more flashes/new PWs.... :p

70-200 2.8L IS

I'm still getting my head around places to shop for this lens.
My experience with KEH was FANTASTIC however what are the other 2nd hand dealer options out there? Adorama, B&H....anything closer to home?

Great lens that is, can't decide if I prefer it or the brick now, but it is an amazing lens anyways... :D If I see any for sale I will post up on here....

unlimited-space.com has domain name sale! $6.50 for .com for a year, or $16.50 for two years for .com.au

just registered www.tangcla.com.au (external link)

Which doesn't seem to work yet :p (or hasn't openDNS updated yet...)

I got mine from D-D back in June last year when it was a very palatable $2,100.

In other purchasing news, I've updated my gear list today

Very Nice :D

It's a smart proxy which monitors website hits based on users, from what I know of it from the people in IT who have a limited knowledge of it. It's based on blacklisting and I think scanning of site contents.

Heh, what ever happened to the proxy on your dynamic IP trick.....

Also nice :D

I just called up an insurance company for my gear and they told me that since my gear is older than 1 month old they will not insure it... WFT?

Michael wrote in post #7365240 (external link)
I have tried a couple others, but they're closed now. Will call on Monday.

Try your home+contents, mine is on a home+contents extended thingy or something that means it covers me everywhere....

OH, and before I go.. is there any way to make a stuffed BP-511A work again? Can't believe my Genuine one hasn't even been used that much and already stuffed. Charger keeps telling me it's charged even when it's flat.

I was thinking maybe there's some sort of a spell I can cast on the battery to make it work again. If anyone here is a magician or has any good spells, please tell me.

Nah, gotta be able to fit the entire thing into one bag for the plane and then leaving it in the media box post-match.
