haze, fog, not smog. it's sharp when it's not hitting something 1.5 miles away thru smog...

more from today, somebody yell at me if i post too much.

my new friend is awesome his lenses, my disposal.
CC PLEASE!
16-35 f/2.8L




24-105 f/4L


and my fave with the 16-35, at f/7

Nice shots, again I have changed my mind and decided to buy a used 16-35mk1 tuesday instead of
the 17-40 along with a new 70-200L 2.8 IS. Another year without a swap or projectors. I see it as a
savings account I can use. I am an L-coholic

thanks! glad i could help?

I had actually already decided but the nice pics didn't hurt.

i had a dream about L lenses last night. probably due to the fact that i was talking with a fellow photographer that night.
i had a 17-40 and a 70-200l Non-is and a 400L 1.8. it was a good dream

I want the 200L 2.8 but IDK when that will happen

I can't decide.
5d MKII or 40d with arsenal of L's???
Hmm...

Where do you find this money?

Those are future plans. I work and save a lot. If that is crazy, my tool box is getting pretty full of Snap On tools too.

My money I loan to the govmt then they pay me back with interest of course.
I think blinky is a male whore if I remember correctly.lol JK Blinky

I seriously considered this lens but, I love Image Stabiliztion at any length really
and after missing my sons best run and catch because I had my zoom locked too
tight I realized, having a fixed length would be too hard for me at this point, for football
at least.


The 100-400 has a slip ring to adjust tension of the push pull, and I had just shot
a photo of the moon and tightened it more than normal, then my son ran a streak route
right toward me. I then got a couple shot and fired a few more in anger.lol



In anger

im going to have a photo journalism job for an auto mag so i NEED the 2.8. i just dont thing the IS is completely nessecary. i could save the $600 for a 10-22 or another L lens. this means nothing for the celi ofver the summer though

One day I may get the 5D MKII (probably when the MK3 comes out LOL) but I hope to have a condo by the end of the day so I will be BROOOOOOKE

old 5megapixel point and shot. looking for nikon d90

I <3 those wheels.

John the MR is looking sharp.
My 16-35 2.8L ver 1 is on the way and it looks like I have a chance of winning a ver2 from e-bay
One will be for sale if I do, not sure which yet. long story. oops lol

875.00 shipped with a hoya pro UV filter, prolly more than I should have.
It was from a reputable seller on potn.

what's your name on there?

It's rgfrison
I have been looking for a 70-200 2.8 IS but am waiting to get refunded from B&H
or buy a new one when the UX date codes get in. I cancelled my order because
I don't really want last years date code on a brand new lens. Kinda wierd but
it does effect the resale. I am still pissed I missed the rebate by about 2 weeks.
I could have got a new one for 1575 insted of 1699.

I don't think I will win the e-bay 16-35II I am about 200 under the going rate
so if I do it would be a pretty sweet deal. The mkI will be a great lens. .l After
all the money is gone from my tax return I will still be without a good walk around lens.lol
I don't do much mid range stuff anyway. I have my 28-135 but it is pretty soft,
I may trade it for a good tripod or something.
