The wait is keeeeeeling meeeeeeeeee

 

you order it Sunday??? surprised you don't have it by now.

 

 

Tomorrow.


I'm gonna be up all night

 

That is a ton of glass! Impressive looking lens.

 

Did it come in today?

 

Maybe.

 

Anyone know any good lens for portrait type shots? I need to have one before I go to California in June

 

^ 85 f/1.4 or 50 1.4. 85 f/1.4 has a much better bokeh. 50 f/1.4 is, well, cheaper, much cheaper than 85 f/1.4

 

I'll take a look into it

Thanks hrj

 

Here is a good review of the 85 f/1.4

i want it!

 

good thing it is OOS

 

hm.. so right now i really want to pick up the 17-55 2.8IS to replace my 18-55

but im about 150 short on getting it until next month.

but then i thought about since i do alot of sports photography, should i sell my 70-300 IS

and use the money from that + about another 600 or so and pick up a 70-200 2.8?

decisions decision....

 

I got a 50mm 1.8 for Christmas. I took a whole bunch of dinner shots as well as my parents friends NSX. I'll get around to posting when I get home but they look great from the cam lcd.

 

crap so i got a bigger than i expected paycheck from the school.. ohh man oohh man,

the 17-55 IS is sitting in my shopping cart at BH right now

 

There's only one way to get it>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>click!

 

yea but then ill have to live on ramen for the next month...

 

new lens > ramen

 

Take a picture of the Ramen with the new lens.

 

 

 

mizouse, you have to purcahse before 12 Jan, instant rebates are over by then. Don't know if you know about this


bh reg price $999
minus $70 reb $929 current price
extra special price $854 with this BH code PS1107SE5K4

 

yes i know, that is what i have in my shopping cart, comes out to $863.15 after tax and shipping

 

Ramen is sweet man!

 

the b&h price can end at ANY time, my book says 15 Feb, but they have stopped them early before. At least you have about eight days to really do this, if they don't go out of stock.

 

quick question thou, would it be wise for me to get a 17-55 2.8 IS?

this is my current gear list:
Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi + BG-E3
EF-S 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 II
EF 70-300mm 1:4-5.6 IS USM + ET-65B
EF 50mm 1:1.8 II | 430EX

 

That wide angle zoom IS is an amazing walking around lens, you can't go wrong

edit: not that I have used it, just drooled over it

 

ugh.. its still sitting in my shopping cart....

 

argh... decisions decisions

 

Do eeettt!!! I got it, and trust me man, it's awesome. The IS on it is great. And like everyone else is saying, ramen is good!

 

one last

 

It will make you feel really good

All of your friends are doing it

Come on, you don't want to be a loser do you

You know you want to




J/K, just giving the peer pressure treatment. Don't go into bankruptcy just because we want you to have this lens!!

"Hey Mizouse, take pictures of all your new room mates at the homeless shelter with your new lens" is not how this thread should end....

 

Do it!

 

no luckily i can still afford to pay rent, just will be eating ramen for a while.

 

 

So you did it. I'll be right behind you later today giving b&h some of my money. I'm waiting for this guy who said he wanted to sell a 300mm 4L IS. IF he doesn't come through I'll be getting something else.

 

pardon my ignorance since I'm a photo newbie but I just have the kit lens with the XTi. how much of an improvement in picture quality would I potentially see with a lens like the 17-55 IS?

 

I'm on the fence about getting this lens. If I sell the 17-40 /f4 L, it would probably only cost me another $350 +/- to get it...

But after the "we need to slow down our spending" talk I had with the wife, I might lose a very important appendage if I go through with it.

 

Your kit lens is a pretty good lens in the right conditions. The 17-55 2.8 IS will allow you to take pictures in lower light situations.
