Shit. Missed a load of auctions of that lens which all finished under £300. Must pay more attention.

My 1100d arrived today, got no memory card or it though (didnt realise) no internal memory either....poo.

 

[Edmond]

Been and got a 8gb card, which will be more than enough for me. been playing in the back garden with it, differnet lenses and shutter speeds, totally confused by it all, gonna have to work through how to use it whilst 'using' it

I may have some questions over the coming days and weeks, so baer with me if i sound like a total noob, sorry in advance

This might be helpful, it's a pretty decent guide that's very accessible. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Understandi...9390/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1341755526&sr=8-1

New review of the Samyang 24mm f/1.4 - superb results at landscape apertures and a hilariously cheap £480.

Great guide here - 10 lessons >> http://www.morguefile.com/docs/Classroom/

 

[old.user4556]

Buy it and report back!

Very tempted at that price!

 

[Wazzerphuk]

If I had need for such a lens I'd go for it but I should be covered.

Hoping to get one of those macro lenses in the next few days...

Hurry up 24-70!

 

[old.user4556]

Delayed again btw.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Delayed again btw.

Until when?

Oh: September.

That's really gay.

 

[old.user4556]

At least.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

It better be shit hot and have some early reviews then.

(Yes I know there won't be any early reviews, FU Canon)

 

[old.user4556]

I have no doubt that it'll be awesome!

Awesomely expensive too.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Anyone want to buy:

Canon EOS300D
with:
18-55mm lens
2 battery packs (one brand new)
Semi-hard case

?

The camera itself was very well looked after. There are no issues with any of the equipment bar one of the batteries having a shorter life than the other. Only took a few thousand shots with it, so there's plenty of life left in the camera. It's essentially as good as new.

 

[caLLous]

Chuck the 5d3 in and we'll talk.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

£5k. Deal.

 

[caLLous]

Ok, that's the 300D covered.. now what about the 5d?

 

[old.user4556]

Rumoured Nikon D600 might not have a Sony sensor after all (booooo).

[Wazzerphuk]

Hmmm. Do I continue to be annoyed with Ebay and bid for lenses hoping to get it around £300 used, or do I a) buy a good used one for £340 from a seller that accepts returns, or do I buy it for £389 new?

 

[old.user4556]

Do you want my honest answer?

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Yes, call me a homo or whatever it is you're going to say.

 

[old.user4556]

Well, on one hand I'm like "try used, maybe look at Park Cameras or Jacobs as they sell refurbs" but on the other hand I'm like "FS, £3k FOR A MK3 AND YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT FIFTY QUID".

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Yeah leaning towards the new. £389 is a good price for it, most places have it new for ~£450 or so. And it was 2.6k ffs

 

[old.user4556]

BITCH PLEASE.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

That means this lens I'm buying will be effectively FREE




(Great logic)

 

[old.user4556]

True that.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

FUCK IT

I'll buy new. NEW I SAY.
