Oops ... my bad, I meant "II" ... but the second "I" became an "S" ... now that sounds like "I became an ass" :-[tron said:it is a very cheap lens for now. It does not exist ;D. I do not think stabilizer that much important at such a wide angle lens, so a very sharp across the frame 16-35 2.8L III lens with no coma would satisfy mesagittariansrock said:Rienzphotoz said:Congratulations on the 2 new lenses ... may they serve you well ... now, let me help your GAS a little, mind you, I am not helping you, I am only adding fuel to your GAS ;D ... the 16-35 f/2.8 L IS is a very nice lens, its one of my most used lenses (more than the 70-200 f/2.8 L IS II).
Why, I would like to have a 16-35 2.8 L IS too! GAS or no gas!

LOL Rein My understanding is that pharmacists can advise but not prescribe If symptoms continue consult your doctor
This is Neuro's prescription:Dylan777 said:Roo said:Rienzphotoz said:Until December? ... you have a very robust healing mechanism ;D ... coz I suffer from GAS almost every day ... wife says visiting CR is the cause, her educational background is Masters in Pharmacy, so I think I should believe her, even though I do not necessarily take her advise for GAS cure i.e. do not read CR ;Dgrowler said:GAS has subsided now, and hopefully it won't return until at least December...

To cure G.A.S, just ask Neuro for prescription. I did and I ended up with 400mm f2.8 IS II ;D

Of course, you are nuts! ... but welcome and say hello to all the nuts who participated in this thread ;D ... you are among like mindedNancyP said:Oh do I have GAS. I am trying my hand at B & W analog after some 35 years - 4" x 5". So: I bought a cheap starter studio monorail camera and one lens from a local LF shooter. Now I am looking at 1. a used spot light meter 2. a lens wrench 3. a magnifying loupe for fine focus on the ground glass 4. a few additional film backs 5. one or two additional lenses with shutters and lens boards (you can get a good used lens with working shutter for 150 to 500 bucks) 6. film changing bag 7. darkroom trays, brown bottle, piece of glass for contact print making
Am I nuts, or what? Granted, the whole gemisch is less than a Sigma lens bought new. Still....

NancyP said:Nah. I want MOVEMENTS! Shift, shimmy, and tilt! I want to shoot landscapes with "infinite" depth of field (tilt), cliff faces (rise), local architecture (all sorts of movements). This is a bucket list thing. I might hate it after a year of putzing with it. I might be seriously hooked - a 30 x 40" print from a first-rate 4 x 5 color transparency is an awesome thing, and I have always liked analog B and W DIY.
You (we) always need more lenses (actually the correct verb is ... want) ;Djdramirez said:It's starting to get nice out... I have a hankering for some long exposure images... I need more lenses so I can make that happen.

I find that very surprising, given how little gear you have in your signature line.Michael_pfh said:I am still fine, no symptoms at all
