Third Party Manufacturers / Re: Which camera brand you actively use, other than Canon?

« on: March 14, 2013, 07:43:58 PM »

I too would like the option for two choices. I use my Olympus TG1 for watersports and bring it along whenever things are going to get bumpy. I reach for my 5D whenever 35mm won't do. But my x100s is with me about 75% of the time.

I preordered the day it was available from amazon. I'm anticipating this camera more than my 5DmkIII.

Lenses / Re: January 8, 2013 Announcements?

Well, I preordered an X100s instead of the possible 35LII. Still holding out hope a 14-24 will be announced today.

My question is whether the 14-24 will have any impact on the resale of the 16-35II. I'd gladly sell my 16-35, and inject about 3K of my own cash for the 14-24 and 35II.

Third Party Manufacturers / Re: Hand on SONY RX 1.............AMAZING

The price is a lot easier to justify when you consider the $1300 you could spend on the 35L would account for nearly half  the RX1s' price. There may be a 1 stop difference in aperture, but I could live with that. I think I may have just talked myself into this camera sometime next year. If only it had a built-in EVF...

Second thought... No need for an EVF if it had a 100% coverage tunnel view finder. I don't need any info, just framing.

I don't care what it costs, get me on the list.

Lenses / Re: what 5 lenses would you want (exclude factors such as buissiness and body)

« on: December 04, 2012, 08:44:22 AM »

1. Canon EF 14mm f2.8
2. Canon EF 35mm f1.4
3. Canon EF 50mm f1.2
4. Canon EF 85mm f1.2 II
5. Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8L IS II

But if we can go with rumors, I'd take the 14-24 over #1. And any version +1 to what's on the list.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: How to price my gear?

« on: November 23, 2012, 05:18:36 PM »

I usually check Amazon and compare their listings to my opinion of my gear and then  (depending on if I think it's worth it) I'll usually list towards the low end to sell quicker. I sold my 50D body only for around 700 on Amazon about two weeks before the 5D3 was released and it had only been listed for a couple days.

EOS Bodies / Re: February & March are Announcement Months for Canon [CR2]

« on: November 16, 2012, 08:46:27 AM »

Amazon currently has a few G1xes for around 540... I've been debating one of these, but if an EOS M comes out with an EVF.. hmmmm what to do...

Here's hoping that ultra-wide is the 14-24, and that I don't have to sell both my 16-35II and a kidney to afford it. Any speculation on price? I'd not be the least bit surprised to see it at $2,499.

Now...Canon need to release better 16-35 or 14-24 f2.8

I would do disgusting things for a 14-24 shaper than the 16-35.

F/1.8-2.8 sounds like a huge upgrade to me.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: 7D to 5D III upgrade..worth it?

« on: September 10, 2012, 09:44:26 AM »

I went from a 50D to a 5DIII and my lord... I know they're not all keepers, but compared to what I was getting out of the 50D they sure seem like it. It's a fantastic camera. People have mentioned losing the crop factor as a con, but with landscape shooting having the same glass get 1.6 more of the landscape, isn't that a pro?

Software & Accessories / Gura Gear Deal

« on: September 09, 2012, 03:39:53 PM »

I'm not sure invite sites are allowed in the forum, I know that the amazon links where you make money aren't, so if this isn't kosher please delete this or lock/ignore the thread.

   With that out of the way.... There's this website, The Clymb, that has Gura Gear bags for sale for the next couple days. I don't know what street prices for these things are so I don't know if this is actually a good deal or not, But I know these bags are often recommended so I figured I'd pass it along. I think you have to register to see the deal so I included a screenshot of the prices so you don't have to waste your time in the event that it's not worth it, or you're not interested.
Anyway, I hope the deal doesn't suck, and here's the link to be invited. http://bit.ly/RtumIE
