POTN Aussie Club #7 - Feng, where's my invoice?

I'll get back to you guys about the PWs, as that's lower on my list of priorities than the rest of my buy-list. I need the camera (and the 35L) first.

Tongclong, how much you want for the 5D II?

Claz, how come the 5D2? and PW? Moving to RP? XD
Just visited the photography mall today. Poisonous.... beautiful Leicas Only found one Lexar reseller in Shanghai -_-.... and they only got the 300x UDMA versions......... TMD

I'm expecting some awesome pics of Shanghai from you soon Fungus..

Anyone had any experience with the 28 f/2.8? I'm pretty sure it's a bit of a POS, but i'm after a cheap wide-angle and it seems to fit the bill, and I could buy it tomorrow.

It's either that or wait another little bit and get a 28 f/1.8...which is probably the more logical step actually, but, well, illogical is my middle name.

No experience with the 28/2.8 Tristan, but I loved my time with the 28/1.8.

No set price. I"m just saying... everything has its price... and depends on how much you wanna offer me

No idea about the 28/2.8, but I liked the 28/1.8 on both 1.6x and fullframe. They are very usable lenses on both formats.

Evening all. Just thought I'd share some news... We have a new daughter! We've named her Seren (pronounced seh-ren). Ah well... off to change another nappy

Congrats! Are you back in your place yet or still in the rental? Fun Christmas coming up for you guys. Was she born on the 12th? If so, she shares the day with me

Congrats Dan... I'm a little worried about the projectile pooping though... that sounds like something I'd expect from Colon's offspring.

Going by eBay, $2800 for an absolutely mint one with very low shutter count (heck, one went for $2400 two weeks ago, with only 1000 actuations). For reference, brand new at DPP is $3125.

What's the weather like right now? Temps? Might visit Shanghai in November next year - hopefully the place stays warm (in the twenties) for most of Nov.

Congratulations Dan, such a beautiful little girl.

Fingers crossed mate, what an expensive repair you had to endure!

Yeah well I'm hoping its only $520, i can live with that a bit easier, not that i have paid yet but still!

Hopefully now that i have done this i can get another year and a bit at least out of it without having to pay more into it.
