Cant wait to see the results from the new Camera Darey

I ordered a 17-35 F2.8 from fabian at NGP yesterday. So when it arrives I will have a decent wide angle lens for the D3. Though I am still using the 10-20 with the D200.

Got myself a 70-200mm f4... decided after much searching of informtaion i reckon right now i can get away with just getting the f4. I really couldnt justify spending big $$'s.. so this will do for now. So excited. Cant wait to have it in hand..

now thats a WOOHOO in capitals Lani. Means for the meet I will only have to fight Paul for my D3.

I just received my E2 sensor cleaning fluid (the D3 needs the new E2 fluid due to the tin oxide coating on the sensor filter), some more pec-pads and a sensor view. Thanks Stu at qualitycamera!

I think the D3 will be safe, if I use it too much I wont want to give it back.

REAL good one Lani. And Rick, the magnified sensor view with angled light is a good investment. They work a treat. Cheers

My Macbook arived yesterday

it's sooooo pretty.

My first ever laptop!

(mainly brought so I can gain mac experience to be able to apply for more grapic design jobs)

Got the Tamron f/2.8 about two weeks ago!! Really happy. Not yet fully used it but I like the results so far.

Just ordered...

1.

a set of Three Flash Diffusers for Sigma 500 Series, 530 Series flash units including EF DG Super Models. This set comprises of Flash Bounce Diffusers in omni shape in White, Green and Gold Colour.

* Green color diffuser is used to enhance flourescent light increasing colors;
* Gold color diffuser is used to warm skin tones. Use of this diffuser gives much improved results in close up shots;
* White color diffuser is used to soften the photos and to give ultimate bounce effect.

2.

Off-Camera HD P-TTL Off-Camera Cord for Pentax. These heavy duty P-TTL cords are designed to fit Pentax Digital cameras that use dedicated flash units. They feature a molded shoe on one end that slides onto the camera hot shoe and locks to prevent accidental dislodging of the shoe. A second shoe mounts onto a flash bracket or light stand via either a standard foot with lock or a 1/4-20 thread. The top of the shoe accepts the flash unit.

3.

Infrared Remote Control for Camera Pentax.

This is a longer range (15m) vs the 5m of the Pentax F unit.
