[Cyza]

picked up my 24-105 L lens today
second hand for $800 in tip top condition, pretty darn happy with it!

gotta say sitting on a gripped 60D with a 430exII speed-lite it's a lot heavier set up to what I was using not to long ago (1000D with 18-55)

So keen to get a chance to use it properly this weekend.

Bye bye Nikon 20 2.8

Hello the last piece i am missing from Nikons holy trinity

Nikon 14-24 f/2.8 af-s

[Wayne]

On Wednesday when I got home, the awesome TNT man dropped of my new D3s body from Ecs in Sydney at a world beating price. ISO? This thing sees in the dark!

Darren, nice! I have been tempted many times, but as I own the 17-35/2.8 I just haven't felt the need for the extra 3mm, and reduce zoom range, even though I also have the other 2/3 of the trinity as well.

I'm about 10 days late but I got a Canon EOS 7D and i love it... its complicated but beautiful and I'm completely obsessed.
Now if I can just find a human version.

Hi peoples

Let me start off my story of what i got by telling you what i didn't get. 3 months before christams i had started hinting to missus Mattski83 that i wanted a DSLR camera and she was like yeah whatever and so come Christmas day i opened up a present, it was the camera i had been looking at her work. she works at R T Edwards, after celebrating i went to open the box and i realised that the box had pieces of paper stuck to it. So i ripped off the paper and what do i see underneath it, it was a box of speakers for my car. What she had done was grabbed the camera box from work and colour photocopied the out side of the box and stuck it to the outside of the speaker box. When i realised what she had done i was devistated, as i told this story to all my friends and family they all thought it was so mean and i agree.

So the other day i got home from work and she said I have a suprise for you and from behind her back she pulled out a box. It was a brand new Sony A390 with twin lenses, so the first thing I did was scratch the outside of the box to check if it was photocopied paper just stuck to another box. No it wasn't so i opened the box to check that there was a camera inside and there was.

So I now have to put into practise the info that i learnt in the NTP section, it seems very daunting at first but I like taking pictures of mundane things that most people walk past but don't realise that they are there.

Congratulations on your new camera and lens, thats a wonderful happy ending to the second box
