What head are you using with it?

Yeah it seems great, I gave it a good testing yesterday afternoon doing these shots.

I'm using a Manfrotto 486RC2 ball head at the moment, seemed perfectly fine with my current gear. See how it goes once I get the 5D but I'd say it'd be fine too. Since I don't plan on having any heavy telephotos anytime soon.

So I went a bit crazy on Amazon and bought a few pp and wedding related texts. Also ordered CS4 tonight, which should tie nicely with LR3.

Congratulations, excellent tablet, have been using it for almost 6 months now, absolutely flawless...

as for the gear, well, 2 weeks ago I treated myself to a new 7D and 24-70L...

Hi Kaiser...

If you like buying books, why not give book depository a try, free air delivery to Australia, the price may seems more than Amazon, but it is actually cheaper after adding the freight cost from Amazon...

Be interested in how you find the G11 Julie, I have been looking at getting one of those too.

w000t!!!!

I just got a 1D MKIII!!!

I'm not sure if it was a good trade, but i've wanted a 1 series since i first layed my hands on a demo version at a photo convention 4 years ago...

Now i got one!!

I traded my second 5d mk1 with grip and 24L mk1 for a 1d3 + some cash.

I didn't use the 24L as much as i thought i would, so its probably worked out for me.

Now I have the best of both worlds with FF and 1.3 crop, i'm just not sure which one will become my "main" camera

This thing is a beast!!!!

Ordered a set of Kenko extension tubes yesterday afternoon from Singapore. They arrived at 1pm today!! Outstanding service

**tomthx** · 05-02-2010, 3:00pm

Recently purchased the Nissin 622 from HK for my 500D. Great flash for the price.
Cheers,
Tom.

PS. Coolie21, where did you order that gear from as next day delivery from Singapore is unbelieveable service.

Today picked up the 70-200 L f/4 - quick play today, man this thing is sharp and where did all those colours come from. I can't wait to put this lens to work. Only L for me from now on. Once I am financial again will be looking at the 24-105 L IS USM

**Wulfys Kingdom** · 05-02-2010, 11:49pm

Been eyeing off the pen tablets for a while now

was finally able to purchase one a few days ago, just a Bamboo tablet, nothing swish, but i'm liking it.

**littleblightie** · 06-02-2010, 1:59am

Wow can't believe my timing, just as the MBP battery goes to hell (As in, holds charge for 20 minutes then dies, no power save mode anymore), the iMac 27" i7 gets shipped... Here on the 11th... Can't wait!

**birdie** · 06-02-2010, 11:34am

I managed to pick up a Canon EOS 30v Film SLR on eBay on Thursday for only $76+$10 postage... :-D Can't wait to start playing with film :-D

**MarkChap** · 06-02-2010, 5:18pm

Just picked up a Spyder 3 Pro

**kwokask** · 06-02-2010, 6:04pm

Upgraded my 70-200 f/4L to the IS version.
*must... resist... upgrading to f/2.8*

**etherial** · 08-02-2010, 10:11pm

Upgraded from the 70-200 F4 to 2.8 IS...mmmm very nice, thanks to all who gave advice on this purchase!

(kwokask, don't resist it!)
