he can't afford the $220 for the 50mm f/1.4D if he can't get rid of the f/1.8D

he wants to meet with me earlier today, but backed out because the buyer of his f/1.8D did not confirm to buy the lens.

anyway, another guy inquired about the Sigma 12-24mm (1st). he asked for some architectural photos , of course, I gladly blinded him with some hahaha

Cool! Be patient. You'll sell the lenses in no time.

yeah... make me feel better. remember you're the culprit behind all this ahahaha

nahh I just shot some architectural shots last night (those that I posted above), and I can feel the disadvantage of the Sigma 12-24mm indoors, its a slow lens with no VR and it has a perspective distortion that is very difficult to avoid indoors. I love distortion but I can't control it sometimes hehe

The only knit is the barrel distortion when shooting indoors but, it's easily corrected in post. For landscapes, it isn't going to make a difference.

yeah agree... I think I will be able to shoot people with the 16-35mm at the long end without getting too much perspective distortion.

with landscape, I have no problem with the 12-24mm

good morning

The Rangers are going to the World Series!!

Congrats Tom! I had them picked as the team i didnt want my yankees to face before the playoffs started. Someone asked me why? I said they are this years tampa rays from two years ago. A team motivated and hungry. They are the most dangerous type of all. Ill be rooting for the rangers to win it all in the series.

I like the iPad.

iPad without a doubt.

Here, have some video camera randomness...

DANG the canon XF100 (105 too) is looking to be a good camera. 4:2:2 with 50MBPS!

30.4mm-304mm (FF equivalent lens) not a huge reach (my XL2 has the equivalent of a 700mm lens at the long end) but it's small size coupled with a steadicam merlin will make it a great events camera. Probably will need an onboard light because it's only 1 chip, but I can get those super cheap.

The Panasonic AG-AF100 is also looking really good, but is more like a glorified DSLR and the price (about the same as a D3s) is putting me off....... come on Nikon bring out a decent video camera like the Canon 5DII
