Ha, well thanks for your opinion guess I can start saving or wait till the guy wants to let them go for less so if they do die it won't be such a loss.

Hello all there these two older lenses that popped back up on Craigslist again that I saw back in late January and February. Are the prices right for these lenses? I'm sure both are just great to have but is there a reason not to buy them? Thanks for your input.

And if you buy a refurb 5d3 from canon I think with a promo code it's less than 2 grand.

There's what I remember buying, again love this kit for the price. It's not heavy duty stuff but it's all holding up!

I bought a chromakey and light kit from amazon if I remember it was ephoto I can look it up and post again awesome kit and easy to assemble plus the price was perfect! You can't go wrong especially if its for playing around and practice. I think I got a 10x20 and its huge maybe it's a tad bigger than that can't remember but I love it! It's durable fabric since I've washed it a few times because the cat plays with it sometimes also to get any wrinkles out of it.

Landscape / Re: How Would You Edit This Landscape Photo?

Here's my take; tried to keep it as natural as possible with slight tint of my interpretation of sunrise colours and not an overdone sky, keeping the interest on the amazing rock formations.

Haha! Love this one!!!!

So I take it quite a fair bit of CR doesn't take humour very well?
Come on guys the poster was just having fun and well it's fun to see people throw out ideas.
Stop criticising so harshly.  It's only a picture.

+1 amen to that!

There you have it folks! A prototype photo of the new 100-400mm from Canon!


Canon EF 100-400 f/4-5.6 L IS II by Jan Jasinski, on Flickr

Sorry guys, it's a fake that I created
Although maybe the MKII will look something like this!



Jan

Why does the silver band on the lens say 200mm? If you wanna fake people out, you need to do a MUCH better job.

It says "zoom" not 200mm if anything it says 100-400mm

Lenses / Re: Canon 100-400 f/4-5.6L IS II Leaked!!

« on: March 02, 2013, 10:42:11 PM »

Sorry, but the attempt is pretty lame.  If you're going to put up a fake 100-400, your fake should show focal length markings somewhere.  No numbers around the zoom ring?  More importantly, you're showing a non-extending zoom and it's too short to be 400mm (unless it's a DO lens, in which case you've got the wrong color stripe).  Better luck next time.

This is humorous! The lens is too short? It's a picture of a fake how do you know the dimensions? You're right about the tripod mount not working because again it's a fake. I don't know why people are upset about this post, kudos to you for doing something canon is hopefully doing making a lens people want! And if the weather is crappy don't go shoot, I can't wait for April for the first cars and coffee!!

Hey thanks for the comments, sorry I forgot to reply it gets lost in the vast amounts of posts on this site, the indoor group shot was just 2 580ex ii's and the outdoor shots were just natural light.

EOS Bodies / Re: need an upgrade from 40d, can't decide: 5D 3, 70D (when available), 7D?

« on: February 14, 2013, 11:00:03 PM »

I'd wait and save the cash until then. If the 7D2 is really good, then you won't even have to worry about upgrading to the 5D3 later.

Where is that 7d2 hiding, I want it to show itself!
