Yeah, same here, love the TL. The only issue I have with the car is the damn stock Acura battery. Died on me 2x in 2 years. Shameful. Decided to get a battery at Kragen instead. Ridiculous Acura batteries.

I should set aside more time and build more Gundams. If you've got any, post 'em up once your 24L arrives.

Stock batteries on new cars are never good. Once the stock one dies, I usually get something with more cranking power. I wish I had more time to build more Gundams but, I just don't. Most of my Gundam collection is in storage but, I do have a few toys that my son wanted to play with. So, I'll surprise ya.

I just got a used 1D Mk III for better AF . This after shooting a waterski event with 5D II and 100-400L .

Kind regards, Wim

Congrats on the 1D MK III! Once, you get the hang of a 1D body it's hard to go back to 9 point AF.

Excellent. I look forward to seeing what you've got.

He's on a rampage. He's clocking in at 97% for height/weight for his age. If this keeps up, I may have an NFL linebacker on my hands.

Thanks!

I don't normally need a zillion fast focusing points . However, at times it is nice to have something that can actually follow the action AF-wise without too many problems, rather than make me work very hard .

Kind regards, Wim

I need a 1DMIII real bad! 5DII doesn't cut it!

Here's a shot with the 24II this saturday @ 1.6

^Nice work Tomasz. I really like the hi key look here.

I recently posted some images with my new 24LII in a different thread, and it was suggested that I add some to this archive.

Tim Park : love all of them!

Thanks! I appreciate it.

^Very cool!

Mine finally came in yesterday. Woohoo!

My impressions:
-Solid build
-Weather sealing is great
-Love the lens hood
-Focus is quick and silent
-Shooting at 1.4 is sharp but, I do notice the vignette . This really doesn't bother me at all since it gives the image a unique look.
- As you stop this lens down it starts to cut your eye open bcoz' it's that good!
- There's definitely a nice balance when you mount this on a 1D Body. Particularly on my 1Ds MK III.
- I mounted a standard CPL and it does vignette. Remedy for this is to use a slim CPL.
-I haven't had a chance to mount my Lee filter holder on it yet but, will report back if any vignetting occurs.
- I have taken shots with it but, it's nothing to write home about. Will post some in the future.

Finally, some images. I just did some random shooting in the house but, I will post more.

^Julian (jwcdds) I will be posting some SW stuff soon. So, please be patient.

D@mn you, Julian (jdizzle)... (I feel like I'm talking to myself. :lol

Post up pikchas, noOOOow. Sigh... someday, I will enjoy this lens on FF. Good stuff. Keep 'em coming.
