I just can't really contribute to the gear discussion. All I have owned is what I still own. 20D, 50D, 16-35, 24-70, 70-200 IS and both kits lenses. I am still considering the 300 2.8 with 2x or 400. Also thinking about a 5D, to see what the hype about full frame is all about.

I have the money but I can't buy something without justification to myself that I need it or it will help me accomplish something I can't do now. Otherwise I feel too guilty about wasting money.

you know, you have a nice set of lenses...lots of people don't have that so what you've learned/do with them would be of interest. I see so many questions re: these lenses all the time.

Also, I think it's wise to not buy until you need something.

Lordy no!! The ultimate goal is to spirit you back to doing the bulk of your posting in POTN. I believe it is a more appreciative audience.

We all know you will eventually switch back to Canon (after Nikon, Sony, Olympus, Leica, and Pentax)

I hope I won't switch back. I'm happy. I haven't been since I sold my 5D. I hope I've learned my lesson and will stick with what I am happy with rather than chasing the "newest & (supposedly) best".

In a way I'm very old school. I'm comfortable with full frame (and the happiest) and I really like mf lenses (though I completely see the need for AF for any type of action) but I enjoy shooting the most with my D700 (ff) and a mf prime.

I keep trying to start my Jeep with my office key,

I sympathize completely. We've had the Lexus over two years, and have over 80K miles in it. It has the keyless entry in it, and I will still try to find a spot for the ignition key about every third time I get in it.

Don't worry, Dan. She will go through a Helga phase during which she will take a Pulitzer winning shot of a brown and white dog eating the neighbor's SUV, make lots of money, and you'll never have to worry about the price of camera equipment again.

Better days are coming.

I don't have much of a common ground either. My brain is the size of a walnut, I keep trying to start my Jeep with my office key, I'm completely illiterate, I have nice camera gear and no shots to prove it, I think in cartoons and I like the Lensbaby.

*weeps silently*

Lensbaby fanboys are always welcome here too!

Lisa's going to go through a Helga phase?

Wow, how do you know this? And, hmmm...that's just weird. I can't see her as a Helga.

Yup. It came to me in a dream. She's going to become one of the world's foremost proponents of plastic lenses.

Needless to say, I do no have the same exposure to them as you all do, otherwise I would know how to spell it correctly, and you wouldn't.

just saying that there's a big difference btw. shooting a Holga and shooting a Helga.

If you're gonna abuse me, get it right just sayin'

Abuse must be appreciated for the intent more so than the content!

Heh! As long as you shoot her with the Holga, Helga will have to put up with you!

Riley shoots a Helga. Lisa is a Holga and you still haven't sent me the 300. What's your point? :p:p
