You left out rugby!bereninga

Dammit, I came to this thread to read what people thought about this rumor and all I see is arguing about soccer and football and manliness. I must've forgot that I'm on the CR forums, where threads always go off-topic for a few pages.

I guess 7D owners can be happy about this rumor of no 7DII this year.

There is a common denominator among threads here that run amok...

I love CR, including the forum. Always something new to learn. Thanks distant.star and Roger Cicala for alerting us to this potential disaster. Will definitely be more alert to my surroundings in the future, whether with my equipment or someone elses.

I didnt mean to put sports down. Mainly anchorwhat?   But i could say a few things about how the state of sports has become.  Didnt a teenager recently kill an umpire with a single punch? Adults need to act like adults, whether they are coaches, umpires, parents of athletes or spectators, and set an example for younger people.Of course this could be said about adults in general, not just sports. Should have said people of the USA, not Americans. America, after all,encompasses North,South, & Central America. And Jrista, I believe the macho attitude is common in many men, not just in the sports world, though maybe more obvious in athletes & fans, and like you, believe it can sometimes be a sign of immaturity. Didnt mean to rant, or did I? I blame Awott for instigating this rant and detracting from the subject of photography. But it is all fun to me,not to be taken too seriously

Third Party Manufacturers / Re: Gitzo Rebates

Yes, this had already entered my mind. I had decided on a Gitzo a while back--it has been in my wish list for a while. But thanks to reading YOUR posts NEURO, and others  posts about tripods i have been also thinking about the RRS. You're definitely correct about it being the last one i will purchase. I blame you for putting me in a quandary . And thanks for keeping me from making a rash decision. I have a while before the sale ends.

I have been trying to decide between Gitzo or RRS tripods. This might influence my decision.

If you buy either, it's quite possibly the last tripod you'll ever buy.  Even if you only keep it 3 years (and I'd say that's really unlikely!), that $150 works out to less than a Starbucks mocha per month.  So I'd say pick the tripod you really want, without consideration for the rebate.  OTOH, if you've already decided on a Gitzo, now's the time to buy!

Thanks, lilmsmaggie. I just looked @ B&H and sure enough there is a $150 rebate listed. I have been trying to decide between Gitzo or RRS tripods. This might influence my decision.

RLPhoto, what lens would you like to see? We know you usually prefer you primes. So what would you pick--a prime or zoom? (or at least it seems you prefer your primes

Voted for the 100-400ll, but i also like TAF's idea.

I want a lens that does not yet exist.

I would like a 24-135 f1.4-f2.8 L with IS.

Preferably less than 800 grams; black, not white; and using a 77mm filter.

That would be my perfect walkabout lens (the the perfect kit lens).  The 24-105L is really nice, but I wish it were faster.  I've finally come to appreciate the advantage of the faster lens with the 5D3 AF system.

The most important factor is how well will it do in shadows and bbq grills, expecially topless grills. Will the dr be acceptable?

Not as sorry as i am reading your post What is the point? Maybe it is nonsense to you because you dont understand what it means And if it is such nonsense to you, why did you get this far into it before you decided it was nonsense? What an Ahole.

Thanks noisejammer. I will have to check it out. First time i have heard of it. I find physics fascinating. If i were younger and starting over I might consider it as a career choice. Finding answers to the mysteries of the universe is a fun challenge. Is it all mindstuff?

You might want to ask michael about that .  Or not .

Too much vignetting. I'd need to be able to lift those shadows by at least 5 stops - anyone know of a camera with enough DR for that??
