Yeah! I was thinking I might be lucky enough to get the 1.8, but he bought the 1.4/ Woohoo!

I'm still trying to work it out. After using the 70-200mm it's so different, i'll post some photos when I get a chance to hav a proper play.

**lazarus219** · 12-06-2008, 11:16pm

It is pretty different, but I'm sure you'll love it pretty quickly!

Thats a definite woo hoo Peter

and as for trying it out, of course you need to make sure it is working well

and from then on you can't just let the battery go flat in the camera between now and the 25th, can you?

**lazarus219** · 15-06-2008, 1:33pm

Just say it has a 7 day return policy on it and if it's not working after that it has to be sent back to canon to get checked out rather than getting an instant replacement

**TassieSnapper** · 15-06-2008, 4:05pm

Woohoo got my 580ex II a couple of days ago.

What an awesome piece of gear.

Although my kit feels a little retarded now. A currently have my 24-105mm f4 IS L attached to my 350d and the 580ex II on top. The camera is the smallest bit of plastic in the whole setup.

Hopefully the 5d/3d/6d is released soon.

**lazarus219** · 16-06-2008, 12:27pm

I've always found that to be a funny combination. A lot of people in my class have some from the ###D series of canons with 24-70's, 70-200's, 580's, all kinds of huge gear and the camera just doesn't look right on the end of it.

Although come to think of it, my F55 with 80-200 2.8 and SB looked pretty wierd too. I'd say the F55 is smaller than the 350D too.

**m841** · 17-06-2008, 7:29pm

My wohoo chance has come today

This morning the courier dropped off my new 70-300 f/4-5.6 IS USM, and 50mm f/1.8

I was smart and remembered to take my camera to work with me today, so i didn't have to wait all day to try them out, but the one thing i didn't plan for was the nearly all day party after radio survey results were released.

So i still haven't even had the chance to really do more than put them on the camera quickly, and start to think about the fun that i'm going to have with them

**enduro** · 18-06-2008, 8:11pm

Well I just pushed the button on a 2nd hand 10-20mm and should get it next week some time.

Yay!

**Lani** · 19-06-2008, 2:15pm

Just received my wacom intuous 3 tablet, just having a play, and looks like it will be a bit of fun getting used to it!

I think my brain must be getting close to full now...dslr, Photo shop, speed light and flash,

Cheers, Lani.
