Sounds good!

Hopefully I'll have one by then... but who knows... maybe I'll be extra busy and need another lol Let me know!

So, when are you going to go out and do some peeping...er, track pics with the new lens? Can't wait to see them!

I might also be interested in a used 7D when the time comes.

HKYStormFront · 02-09-2011, 09:34 PM

why? you have one don't you?

You know, in case I fall in a river at ZDayz again.

Or if I need a backup...

HKYStormFront · 02-10-2011, 09:00 PM

haha ok, i was wondering...

HKYStormFront · 04-21-2011, 09:06 PM

welp, i decided to part with the lens. i used it for an autox once and found it to be too heavy and cumbersome for my style of panning (by hand, not monopod). i really do like this lens but i don't see myself using it hardly ever and just decided i liked the idea of getting money for it instead. posted it yesterday on craigslist for $1250 OBO knowing i'd get some lowball offers (had one for $1k within 30 mins) and am meeting a guy in the morning to sell it for $1175

that will almost completely pay off what i owe on my only credit card, i can't wait to be debt free (truck's paid off too!)

The glass is a tool, the mind makes the images. If you want something lighter look at the 300f4. Good sharp light lens.

HKYStormFront · 04-23-2011, 08:17 AM

it's funny you said that Ds... had another suggestion for that exact lens from a guy on the photography forum i'm on, i'll add it to "the list"

Dsphoto · 04-23-2011, 09:36 PM

Yup. It's a major sleeper. Not as flashy and fas as the 300f2.8 but plenty sharp and light. My fav long prime is the 135f2, now that's a great lens. Also love the 200f2 but it's really expensive.

HKYStormFront · 04-24-2011, 08:17 AM

yea the 135 f/2 is on that same list. i <3 that lens a lot, can't wait to shoot cars with it on a FF camera... hopefully next year

dogsy · 04-24-2011, 06:17 PM

The 135 f/2 is superb -- but 15yrs old now. For the price it's an absolute bargain, but as tempting as it is I wouldn't be surprised if it's on Canon's update list, adding IS to the next ver. On a 1.6x crop body (7D etc) you'll be at 216mm and IS is a definite advantage at that focal length, particularly in low light.

FWIW I quite like the pics from 6spd earlier in the thread. Nice atmos.

Any news on the 8-15mm delays and when they expect them to be selling in (decent numbers in-) the US?

HKYStormFront · 04-24-2011, 10:27 PM

i wouldn't get any more lenses than i have now (17-40 f/4, 28-70 f/2.8, 70-200 f/4, 50 f/1.8) until i get back in a full frame camera, hopefully later this year. things are looking that way if i can discipline my wallet after i get my credit card paid off and sell my 7D before the value tanks
