Site Information / Re: Applaud or smite?

« on: December 16, 2011, 07:17:03 PM »

At what point does one get banned from being smited? I wouldn't worry about the "applaud or smite" thingy unless there's a "you're excommunicated" number attached to the system. I'm new here and got my 11 smites because I made an innocuous joke about winning the current contest--"I won, I won!!" I wrote (including a winky emoticon

). Smite abusers? Yes there are! Therefore, I'm wearing my smites proudly--11 and counting!

The 15-85mm is probably the best EF-S kit lens out there... [It] is a bit heavy for Rebels but matches the 7D perfectly.

Agreed about the front heaviness, but with a battery grip adding bottom weight to my T2i it's much more balanced.

I LOVE the 15-85mm. It my T2i, go to, walk around, do everything lens. Here's a long shot I took today.

Lens at 15mm.
Camera: 1/125 second at f/11, ISO 100.

I'd buy one of these, quit my job, load up my current stash of gear (plus maybe get a 5D Mark II body on the cheap), pull some of my 401k and spend a year on the road taking photos.

I won, I won!!

I suspect a troll, as weren't there meant to be 10 finalists announced or something?
Happy for you if it true though

No troll here. I was trying to add a little levity to the thread--aka, it was a JOKE. I was actually kind of surprised that some people here really didn't get the light-hearted little JOKE and gave me "bad karma." I even included the

to make sure it was understood to be a JOKE. Ah well.
