• UPDATE



    The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being.

    I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure.

What Canon stuff did you get for Christmas

I "bought" an f-stop women's proportioned bag on Kickstarter, and a few days before Christmas I was notified that the f-stop funding goal has been met (I think also that the Kickstarter may have been a market research tool. Anyway, my camera pack is getting a bit tatty, and new bag will be nice. "Women's proportioned" refers to (among other things) torse length, which is 16" rather than the 20" or so that the standard f-stop bags offer.

I am waiting a bit and then getting the 7D2, which should be killer for combining with my trusty 400 f/5.6L for on the move birding. And, my current APS-C is the 60D, so I should have fun learning how to use a sophisticated focusing system (60D, 9 points, no user adjustability of sensitivity - though it does pretty well at AI servo center point).

Hi erjlphoto.
Sorry to hear your woes, you can only hope that lowlife scum like that slipped on something and the heaviest thing they stole cracked their skull 1 heartbeat before the ground hits them hard in the back of the head. I hope your alarm works as a deterrent, without wishing to be alarmist, be vigilant, they often come back after you have had time for the insurance to pay out, just to get the new stuff. After several workshops were burgled where I have mine, yes mine was included, we got together and installed CCTV, including IR night capable cameras and high definition recording. It doesn't have to be that expensive but it does need to be good, no use having pictures like you often see on the news, grainy washed out rubbish, if you want to nail these cretins.

Cheers, Graham.

My third, count them....One....Two....Three Canon 6D body.
Also got my Second Canon 24-70 f/L is lens.

Who so many? Because the first 6D I had to sell for medical expenses of a loved one.
Three months ago I replaced it and got the 24-70 f/4L as well (previously had the 24-105).
December 10th, my new apartment got ripped off and off went the Camera, lens and accessories.

Well, I liked both of the previous iterations of this model. Hoping third time is a charm and a keeper!!!

Had insurance, also now have a new alarm....though not made by Canon ;D

Got myself a 100mm macro L after fungus had its way with my non L lens. Traded that one in for peanuts. I had to return the 100L as it had water on the front and back elements when I opened the pack. Tried cleaning it, but could not get it clean enough. So gave it back and requested a replacement. Now waiting.

Got myself a canon 60mm ef-s macro for $280. ;D It's a different world of photography now. haha!

Thats a great lens. I have have used it many times on my wifes 600D :)

I've been trying to take some macros here and there.. It is very sharp and fast focusing. Feels alright in the hands. in short, I need to look up how to take good macro shots as it is not the easiest thing to do. ;D

I got a Sigma 120-300m f2.8 Sport. But it has a Canon mount, so I think it counts.

And of course, i bought it myself. years of hints have never helped. I have told them all several times a book of photographs would be a really nice present. ANy subject, any photographer, you pick it. Oh thanks for the socks.

Hehe... Are you sure those "socks" are not a camo-set for your lenses? ;)
