^^^thanks.

i suppose the IS would be better if I want to take a lot interior photos then. doing real estate photos and wondering if the canon 10-22/sigma 10-20 would be better suited than the 17-55 IS

 

^^ For real estate, the wide lenses would likely be more appropriate, though you might also want/need a tripod and/or external flash.

 

^^^got the tripod...would love to hear recommendations on a flash and lenses

 

yea the 10-22 is next on my list, as well as a 70-200 2.8

 

B+H is out of stock on the 17-55... maybe it's a good thing - I don't need the temptation.

 

one of the reasons why they're out of stock is me

 

Do you have it yet?

 

no, this is the last update on its location

^^ What did you order?

 

35mm 1.4L

 

the charge on my credit card magically disappeared

i hope it stays that way and the product arrives, but i know it wont.

 

85L and the 35L FTW! Do you have the 135 to complete the trinity?

 

The 135 was the first one I got used last summer. I also most purchased a 16-35 mkII, but but really wanted the 1.4.

 

If I had a 5D, I'd probably shoot primes 90% of the time. That's one awesome kit you've got!

 

Thanks, but don't forget about film. I'll probably sell 24-70 but will use both this weekend to see.

 

Fyi, I'm not planning to speak to you either at dinner tomorrow or at the meet this weekend.

 

I had to sell something to get something....

 

that's hotter than hot

wtf no updates since then

 

It's on a truck on the way to Kali, there won't be another update until it comes off the truck at the next location there.

 

i see, i guess im not used to the lack of updates with ground shipping.

then again the times i do use ground shipping its with newegg and they usually ship from the city of industry which is really close.

 

The 50 mm 1.8. I know its not a very impressive or unique compared to what you guys have but I love the pictures.

 

Delivered On: 01/10/2008
2:24 P.M.

After 3 days of sunny and 70 degrees, it's now in the 40's and raining.

 

i still havent gotten mine!!!

 

I'm only a 5 hour drive from them. You're about 6 days.

 

i shouldve chipped in for quicker shipping

im getting impatient

 

Even though you don't know where it is, it should show a date should be delivered.

 

So this crap-ass weather is your fault.

what the hell is it doing still sitting in the sorting facility, put it on the damn truck already!!!

 

As the Nestle Quik Rabbit used to say (back in the day before it became NesQuick):

 

hmm... its hardly noticeable the difference between 17mm and 18mm

 

and good thing i got a new bag, my gear barely fits now.

 

So when did they get it to you?

 

i left around 4:15pm to get alcohol for the party and didnt come back until maybe 5 or 5:30ish, so sometime between then.

 

suite, now you can play with it this weekend.

 

yes i can, im gonna try out the lens tonight at the party after the chicks are drunk. and then tomorrow i have a track & field event to cover ill see if i can use it then, and then i might goto the 626 acurazine meet after that.

 

How do you like it? Did the extra stop and IS help out?

B+H is still showing the lens as back-ordered.

 

Heard that it is three weeks or so back ordered. Maybe it's not coming back. Next week Canon should be talking about NEW things.
