Two reasons:

1) It's legal, and

2) greater range.

ZOMG! It's the frequency police!!!!

Bleh, I'll just buy whatever is cheaper/available when I can afford it...

Not at all!! Just always really helpful!

Errr, OK, yeah, totally Hotel computer system is down, so STILL can't check in, no Optus 3G so SLOW internet, back is still killing me, etc, etc,

Just want to check in, eat lunch, shower, go to game

Wait, so you're not allowed to go to your room until they fix the computer.... You'd assume they'd have an old skool fall back...

Nice shots Dave. Does the 5D II have AF point linked Spot Metering?

No,
Evaluative knows what point you are using though....
I would say that the 5d2 centre is on par with 1d3 outer, and outer is a bit suss....

Michael wrote in post #7371713
Hmmm, ok. Fair enough.

Does the 1D III have it? Cuz I find this a pretty useful feature..

Yep, as I said, best camera ever

Collin, you still after some BP-511's?

Oh, and is anyone after some Ultra II 2 GB CF cards? I have 5 or so...

Yeah, how should I get mine to you collin?
Throw it in as a free gift with michaels?

Oh, and I met someone with a r-strap today.... Seems very nice, don't think it will work for me though...
Another guy with the exact same setup as me (1d3/1.4/70-2002.8IS)

What are the chances of that? Was he a pro? Wasn't Nathan Archer was it, he has that setup, oh and a 400 2.8...

Nathan archer? Nah, doubt so, was rowing so he would have had the 400 on

There were actually two people with the exact same setup as me, both West staffers with kids at a competing school...

Hmm, ok. Yeah, a lot of people would have that setup actually...

Hey Michael, I'd be interested in taking all the BP-511As you have available, aswell as some of your Ultra IIs. How much are you asking for the Ultra IIs and do they have the little containers?

Mark, if you don't want your BP-511 I'll be happy to take it off you. I can give you a lil' money for it too, I'd feel a little guilty taking it off your hands for nothing.

Nah, I'll just throw it in the packet with all of michaels if it is okay with him, or just cover postage....

Yeah, that's cool. I have 2 BP-511A's, both are the Merkury ones from Stu. One is brand new, the other has been used very little.

I have 4 of the 2GB ULTRA II cards too. I was thinking $50 for the batteries and cards together...

I'm thinking of re-doing my blog and actually using it. I'm going to be using the ProPhoto template theme thingo. It looks really good. Bit pricey though.

Okay, well if you can get it to Michael that'll be great. If not I'm very happy to pay postage.
