Canon General / Re: Canon L Lens Deals at B&H Photo

« on: December 22, 2012, 08:07:09 PM »

This is nice, but for Canadians B&H is not always the cheapest. For example the 70-200 can be had at Aden's for
2339 total compared to 2,373.03 total at B&H. I've always had shipping included at that price. The 24-70 is the same thing. Brokerage fees and shipping fees in one transaction have always bin a pet peeve of mine. If you decide not to pay the brokerage fees and just pay for shipping watch out, shipping goes through the roof. I've bin hit buy Purolator, Fedex and UPS. B&H don't do USPS. USPS has bin the most honest carrier for me. I always get a border customs receipt if there was duty to be paid, never by those other guys.

1D X Sample Images / Re: NYC a day after Sandy-

Maybe next time he should use a fast prime

+1 I was about to comment on that when I saw your comment. The 24-70 2.8 II is not the end all be all lens. But I agree the picture is superb 

Blah blah..Once in a lifetime shot.. and someone says he should use a prime? Same with the guy that posted in Dpreview "There's a lot of noise in that image, especially in the clouds. He should have used a Nikon D4"
Any one know what kind of gear he took with him? and we also don't know which 24-70 he had. The shot we see is what he kept out of 2000-2500 shots. The guy deserves nothing but kudos.

I will still look at it, but learned a long time ago, nothing beats peoples real world hands on experience. I try to buy Lenses that way also. The 1d x is my 5th Digital in 12 years. Still have my old Minolta xg7. Relic like me...lol
