The "Whoo! I just got new gear!" thread

[The_Scroop]

Just got something new?....tell us about it here!

Now we can all show off our new purchases without worrying about cloging the forums

[arthurking83]

Woohoo! I haven't got any new gear lately(well I got a CPL for my 105macro a few weeks back).... I'mjust posting a woohoo as a pre-emptive celebration for when I forget that this section is here specifically for this purpose.. AND! to say woohoo, a new dedicated section(to something I have a keen interest in.. new gear!!(even if it's old vintage stuff)



Didn't you get yerself a new lens recently Dom? .. where a woohoo from yoo?

[MissBecc]

LOL @ AK.... u sound like you need sleep!!

:P

Good idea scroop

[The_Scroop]

haha....ok here's my woohoo



I have a sample shot HERE
Although I'm yet to put it at its full potential as i've only used it for high ISO shots so far.

WOOHOO!

[arthurking83]

Oh! I though you had the 24-70 already??

Now you need the 17-35mm too... and you're done!
(I bet you were expecting me to say the 14-24mm huh? )

Becc!!?? .. sleep?.. whadda'ya mean sleep? I still haven't looked at my photos for the day.. I'm just about to start on my third coffee.
I ended up in Marysville, where there are no places to purchase new gear
(had to place a token reference to new gear in here somehere, lest the OT police shoot me down for contempt! )
I think I took about three photos before I realised it was just to dark(an dthat I need some more new gear!).... and you think I can sleep?.... yet?

[The_Scroop]

haha....i wouldn't mind the 14-24 =p
But to be honest, I don't have a use for it at the moment. Sure it'd be nice for the occasional landscape....but I hardly take enough to justify the costs.

Well I kinda did have the 24-70...and kinda not. I had it on order, but the place took over a month. After waiting the month, I cancelled the order...spent an extra $100 and bought it. I needed it before I go away and can't really wait any longer!

Very nice outfit you have there.

[Harves]

Very nice Scroop, are those white specs on the table dust bunnies that fell out of it, or high ISO grain

[mercho]

Nice Scroop!

Well i got my 400D twin lens kit a couple of weeks ago...

Also just bought a new Manfrotto 785B Modo Tripod to replace my cheap and nasty one.. Should be here in the next couple of days

I was sent home sick from work today so my husband, bless his heart, came home with a gift for me. Not flowers but a set of landscape Cokin filters.
I think he loves me.

Finnally got myself a Nikkor 70-200VR i am VR excited.

[Roof]

I got myself a new 22" Monitor, And i can say everything that i've done to my images so far was a waste of time. No wonder i don't get any votes in the Competitions...

Nice lens Dom

Don't tell me that!! From what I see of your images Roofy, they look good on my screen too!

I think that means that I also need a new 22" monitor!

Nope, minimum 30" for you, 10mm lenses need wider.

well done Roof, but I have to agree with AK83, your work has never been crap to start with.

Congratulations, James.
I have been tossing up whether to shell out the $ for this lens so I would love to hear and see how you get on with it.
Where did you end up buying it, I have been thinking about getting it through Photobuff in Melbourne.



Cheers, Lani.

Got it at the Adelaide Photographic Market.

ADOX - Golf circa 1958 - just for ornamental reasons And the way the lens pops out, tis cool
