Elinchrom users only- whatcha got? (Mark II)

I do OK communicating with a single subject when using a 200mm or 300mm focal length. I would imagine things get a lot tougher with couples and groups, especially a weddings or events.

Hehe... all this talk about the 600mm lens reminded me of this photo. I got the lens right when my youngest daughter was born, and wanted to show off the scale of how huge the lens really was.

Priceless!!!!

Good thing the baby's hood is reversed, or she wouldn't fit! That's awesome!

Classic

Nice shot Sheldon,

P.s I think I want whatever job you had / have, the lenses fund seems to flow freely

Along with the modifiers

On a slightly different topic, I'm looking at a Lumix Lx3 as my P&S walk around. I'm wanting it to mainly scout locations and just carry with me everywhere I go.

Just wondering if anyone has experience with the Lx3 and how many of you carry something similar around?

Also, I only have the MKI version of the 70-200 IS but it's brilliant and I don't think I could live without it, very versatile lens on FF.

You realise when he sold the 200L (1.8) that he'd never have to worry about money for modifiers again.

Modifiers are extremely cheap when compared to high quality lenses. The lowest priced L is about the same as any of the indirects.

Depends on how far you go, a used 200 1.8 is like a low end Bron Para.

Have you considered waiting for the Fuji X100? Should be out soon.... i'm personally waiting with bated breath.

I.think the Fuji might be out of my budget, but it is lust worthy
