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

A big upgrade from the P2 with GoPro Hero Black!
Also the most expensive photography item I've ever purchased - tiny by many people's standards, but to me $5500 is a lot of money.

Oh Well Boys and their Toys

Does it count as a 'toy' when you use it as a tool on paid jobs?
Yeah, who am I kidding, of course it does

Just received my new Nikkor 16 -35mm f/4 VR lens to go with my full frame camera. A few other great choices out there but decided on this lens so I can still use all of my filters.

congrats Nellie. Mongo has not even seen one of those yet. Happy shooting.

I have brought a few things lately and forget to put them here, two parcels today #1 Three new batteries and a charger for my Olympus E-M1 from ebay of course.
Cost half the price of one Olympus Battery..

Having problems carrying my Birding Lens for hours hanging around my neck its not the weight I can handle that its my back.
I went searching for a Joby Sling Strap I went to buy one before and it was $50 plus thought that was a bit steep.
When I googled Harvey Norman come up ? so I click on the site to see if they have them at our Local Store so I can go have a look.
Image my surprise to find that the Ladies Sling Strap was going for the small price of $10 + $6 postage, too good to pass up.
I tried it out and walked around the garden for a while today even though the Lens comes down to my knee, it felt a lot better off my shoulder than hanging from my neck.

And the Ladies one is still there for $10 is any of the Birding Ladies here are interested...... Checked out the Males Sling Strap it is still $58 ?

My Yongnuo 35 F2 will arrive next week. Cheap but hopefully not nasty. I just wanted something with a shallower DOF at 35mm than my 17-35 F2.8.

Very Nice MM I am sure your 6 year old will enjoy that.

[ricktas]

I am sure she will have fun using that MM.

[MissionMan]

I think she will. Priorities for a 6 year old girl who wants a camera:

1. It's pink

My priorities

1. It's waterproof
2. It's shockproof
3. It's cheap because children can break concrete

I have been using a Black Rapid Ladies Sling Strap for a few years now. I love that the strap is curved to fit around the boobs and it carries the weight of my Sigma 150 - 500mm really well. I'll keep this one in mind though Mary Anne if I ever have to replace it.
