Thanks man!

Hey man, I've been fairly busy lately so I haven't been on NT for a bit. I paid retail for the 5D II which was $2700. Looking at my stockindicator, Best Buy should have them available online. I got mine at Amazon. You planning to upgrade soon? Seriously though lens > body. My advice...save upfor those L-lenses first.

 

[rap sizzle]

Oh and for that gun shot picture...I'm pretty sure that's just the shell. He shot it at 1/400 which I'm pretty sure won't freeze a bullet. Icould be wrong though.

Nothing special here. First time using my SLR after about a year.

 

[wj4]

One more. Nothing special again, but I love the message. It says "enough to eat, enough to live".

So you working at BestBuy? You guys have all them lens at ridiculous prices - Do you get good discounts at least? I was/am planning on upgrading - I guess is ahuman thing .. I was thinking on going 50D or 5D classic .. but you have a point about the lens - i just don't want to buy lens to buy and have themsitting around .. But lets see .. I made some $$$ of the lenses so that's good for a down deposit on the body .. but might just go with the 24-70L - somedude was giving it to me for 700 but I'm thinking about it because I have the 17-55 already and I'm on a crop...

Did you sell the 40D and 85?

So you working at BestBuy? You guys have all them lens at ridiculous prices - Do you get good discounts at least? I was/am planning on upgrading - I guess is a human thing .. I was thinking on going 50D or 5D classic .. but you have a point about the lens - i just don't want to buy lens to buy and have them sitting around .. But lets see .. I made some $$$ of the lenses so that's good for a down deposit on the body .. but might just go with the 24-70L - some dude was giving it to me for 700 but I'm thinking about it because I have the 17-55 already and I'm on a crop...

Did you sell the 40D and 85?

Haha...I don't work at Best Buy man. Besides bodies for retail, I'd never get anything photography related from there...unless it'ssome crazy sale...which pretty much never happens. The 24-70L for $700 is a ridiculously good price. What year and how's the condition for that one? I gotmine for $900 used. As for the bodies, the 5D at current used prices is a bargain. I'd stay away from a 50D and just get a 40D instead. You'll savemoney for something that's practically the same camera. If the 17-55 works for you, stick with cropped. The reason I upgraded to full-frame was because Ido low-light photography and I wanted my primes to be in their exact focal lengths.

My 40D and 85L II are still for sale. I've been busy lately so I haven't been able to list them up on photography forums. I'm lending my 40D to agirl who wants me to teach her about digital photography...so I'll be holding on to it a while longer.

 

[devanisgee]

Firstly, thank you all for the dear comments/compliments. For those wondering, they were taken with the 85mm f/1.8 + 40D - hence the sharpness.

Enjoy,

wj4, who's X is that?

LOL .. I thought you worked in BB because of your comment "my stock indicator"! So, what you meant by that .. lol
Right now I seen a 5D in CC for $1464 if it goes down to $1300 I'll probably buy it .. As far as the lens the guy is telling me if I dont decide bytomorrow is going to another buyer .. I just dont know if I'm jumpin ships to a FF and I dont want to be stuck (which Im not) with the lens until then ...Let me find out you trying to get Kudos with your crush via photo classes ..

..

PM a offer I cant refuse man ...

P.S. I was thinking about the 50D because I heard the micro AF adjustment is way to good - I still dont know what that means

.. plus is newer tech thats another reason why Im holding back on classic 5D -old tech ..

 

[kickmatic23]

since I'm still a noob at all this is, is there a pro-series lens for nikons like canon's L series?

 

[relevant sx]

haven't posted nor have I purchased new glass in a long while.. but I came across a term that I never heard before, "white box." I noticed the"white box" version of a lens is cheaper but what exactly is it? thanks in advance

Look for the gold ring or constant aperture and it's Nikon pro glass. If i'm not mistaken, this goes for the primes, trinity: 12-24,24-70, 70-200, and others like the 14-24, 17-55, 28-70 etc.. Nikon heads correct me if i'm wrong.

Not sure if anyone answered your question, too lazy to check the other pages after this.
But I recently ordered my Seattle Skyline 12x24 inches onto a museum stretch on canvas, $68 shipped.
I'll post up the website when I get home.

 

[flyingemu05]

damn i sent that craigslist link of dude wanting to trade a d70 for a g9 to my brother and i think hes taking the offer. so it looks like its goodbye to my oldg9 and possibly my 50mm f/1.8 since my brother is going to need a lens. back on topic, when does the af-s 35mm f/1.8 come out?
