So is it brilliant? I'm thinking of getting one to complete my kit.

Got the incredible MP-E65mm F2.8 1-5x Macro + MT-24EX Macro Twin Lite Flash + a Manfrotto slide plate last week. Only played with them a little, but they are a: amazing and b: quite demanding! Playing around with focus stacking.

Got 5D Mark II (incredible)
EF 16-35mm F2.8L II USM
EF 24-70mm F2.8L USM
430 EX flash
Slik carbon fibre tripod

Adobe CS 4 Creative Suite extended (used Photoshop since version 4)
Apple Aperture
Adobe Lightroom (prefer it over Aperture)

Ok Daz. I want your pay cheque.

Good on you. You sound so happy. Enjoy all your new stuff. It's like Christmas.

Got myself a 300W studio light flash monoblock and stand.
Playing around with the umbrellas and soon to get a softbox

**Jcas** · 19-03-2009, 9:19am

Not exactly a modern day piece of equipment. But i have always had a fascination for older gear in good nick.

Managed to get hold of this 1972 Zorki-4 in absolute mint, maybe unused condition complete in its leather case. Yes i know they are only a Leica copy, but the closest i will ever get to a Leica.

The person that sold it to me didn't know how to get the back off so didn't even know if things worked or even if there was a film inside.

I only got it yesterday and am running a film through it, after i managed to work out how to load the film, it runs and works flawlessly.

Can't rely on any auto settings with this one, so the pics will be very interesting ...

**yummymummy** · 19-03-2009, 9:27am

Ohhhh Julie, that's so cool!!!!

I bet you'll take some awesome photos with that!

**dbax** · 19-03-2009, 11:58am

**pirate59** · 19-03-2009, 3:48pm

Gots me my first "L" baby. the 70-200 f4.0

learning its nuances. learning slowly that it needs surgeon's hands when doing full zoom, with a 1.4x teleconverter and on a 400D back (1.6x zoom again!)

Hmm 448mm effecting focal length. crikey no wonder hand held is hard =)

will post some shots soon
