fell out of my camera bag and the lcd screen was smashed. Canon said 15 buisness days or less to return it to me (nov 28th) They said they ommited labour charges because of all the sad faces I put on the repair notice. So hopefully it gets here fast.... I'm going through 10-22 cravings.

[Islandrider]

sweet lens ross lol

[Rosscofat]

DJ next week mark??? whats happing tomorrow??? any DJ?

[Madman]

I really dont care how big and obnoxious your lense is, how special your man purse is that you carry your gear in or even the amount of pixles your camera captures. Its whats in the picture that counts, if your going to post pictures of your camera/gear atleast show us some photos taken with it. :fu:

In all seriousness though, when you photo guys are taking pictures during a race or even just people riding in general you should stand back a bit, and please dont use your flash its annoying as hell.. I cant stand it when some dude is standing next to a trail or race course with some huge camera getting in my way.


Ok, Il stop being a dick now.

[Rosscofat]

haha lucky I hate useing flashes in daytime it seems so fake. :)

[Mr.Peanut]

Is that gunna be on the hill tommorow?!!! :)

[JSinclair]

Ross why do you want a 85 1.4 ? Just curious.

Unless you are spending a lot of time shooting Portraits in a large studio The length as a prime is kinda dumb for sports.

Your 80-200 will be just as good for portraits and way more versatile in the sports (Or any for that matter) arena. If you were in a position to shoot events, the length is still really long... Anyway.

I would say that a fast zoom in the wide-telephoto range would suit you more and you would probably be happier. (Ie 24-70 2.8)

If you are going to invest in a fast prime get something in the 28-35mm range. If your shooting concerts or something dark inside, you'll want to be way closer than 85mm X 1.6.

The 600mm is a bitchin lens, but really a 400mm with mulitplier would be a more versatile setup than having monster glass...and unless you are shooting Surfing, Football, baseball or your neibours daughter through her window (If you are, you know my email... :lol: ) 600mm is way to big. Besides the huge ticket price.

I would say there is other gear to get firs before the 85mm prime. Just my 2 cents.

[.243racer]

if you know whats up, you get a wide-zoom (12-24) , a telephoto zoom (70-200), and a 1.4x extender.

anything more is a waste... (unless you REALLY need distance)

[Rosscofat]

the 12-24 is my next lens before anything.

after that.. i just wasting money on toys anyways. i want low fstop cuz i hate flashes..

and then a 24-70 or somthing??? I dnno.

im gunna buy a new camera backpack.. the dakine one.. so if i buy one I gotta fill all the spaces with lenses so I better buy alot.. hahahah

depends on what you shoot, and what focal multiplier your camera is, also with a 1.4 extender it only works on certain lenses.

I sold my digital setup and my slow zoom (Canon 28-135 IS) and i've just bought a Leica M6 ttl 0.72x in black. Sadly, i've not got enough cash for the Leica 50/2 yet! Or i might go for the Zeiss 50/1.5

A friend of mine owns a black m6 with a 35 f/1.4 (the 3900 dollar lens)
If you want to save some money look for "knockoffs (usually made by russian companies) the sharpenss is just as good just without the german nametag ;)

How do you find your 85 f/1.8?

I'm thinking about purchasing it or I might be try buying a 135 f/2

[Rosscofat]

anyone know where I can get one of these around town?

No.

[.243racer]

No.

well technically, the body is only a film holder and contributes nothing (fundamentally speaking) to the sharpness of the image.

I agree with you on the lens issue, however, many leica knockoffs still use the leica mount.

its a shame its not the same film though!

its not the same chemicals and same make-up as the original Velvia50. its just a new iso50 version of the velvia100f...

no doubt it'll rock though!

the 85/1.8 is amazing, i love it.. i shoot quite a lot of portraits and i've done a few weddings... its brilliant. Oh, i do gig photography too and that little bit of length and speed is really handy sometimes! I think the 135/2 could be a bit too long for my tastes.

i'm not wanting to save money, this is why im buying a leica... and leica or zeiss glass.

The sharpness won't be as good lens wise, and the bodies won't be as quiet sadly... if they were i wouldn't be buying this setup!

oh, and the 35/1.4 is sexy.. i'd prefer the 35/2 though as the bokeh is stunning on that lens.

hey fucker! I just bought a M6 pre-ttl the other day. Sorting out the kit. If your not ho-hum about Leica lenses like the fondlers out there (they are good! Dont get me wrong, but there are other options) check out Voigtlander lenses by Cosina. I just got it cause when i go travelling the last thing i want to think about is where to buy the latest 2cr5 super doodad battery for my eos-383311 camera.

never, none of those commie lenses come close to modern leitz glass. its just a fact. with those russian lenses you dont have consistency either, one may be suprisingly good and the other 3 will be dogs. their sharpness is not just as good and if it were true dont you think leica would be out of the lens business long ago?

yeah bitch its awesome! I've tried voigtlander lenses and for the prices they're awesome! I've got a loan of a colour skopar 35/2.5 for a month until i can get a decent lens in Jan/Feb!

im personally wanting a leica 35/2 and a zeiss 50/1.5. But thats like a grand of glass!

The 85/1.8 is a simply awesome wonderful lens. Some of the best bokeh you will ever see... and I agree with your statement about the 135mm. I think it's a bit long for most things. Especially if you're shooting a DSLR with a >1.3 sensor crop ratio.

I am going with a 28 50 90 135 kit to cover everything. should be easily attainable except for that 50mm summilux!

i was looking at that zeiss 1.5 but it only close focusses to about 0.9 m and the newer leica 1.4 goes to 0.7 . you can find the pre-asph version for about $1000 used but there goes your lens budget!

[Faithless]

guys bc camera had a 85 f/1.8 i blieve for 2500.

I think. I know the price is right htough.
