Other Pickups

Yeah U need time to grieve, but don't let it change you bro. Stay occupied!

Billy call me up sometime I am down to hang out... I think you still have some stickers you promised me.

I need to get back to basics in a way too..Cherish the moments and have no regrets.

Cant say I did that today I sat around the house all day and slept....even blew off a Christmas Parade that my bicycle group rides in. (I dont like riding in parades its a pain)

Finally got my Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L.. got it at Samys Camera no tax sale plus a canon instant rebate.

Already have a 10-22 EF-S and a 50mm 1.8 Mark I.

All thats left is a 70-200 f/4 IS and maybe a new tripod and flash?

Cant afford a 70-200 f/2.8 with or without IS..... so its not even an option plus that thing is heavy!

solid pick up, bro... best investment you'll not regret! on a side note, sorry for your loss... lift your head up and keep on trucking, brother!

[DJGuamstyles]

For sure Jim! I'm waiting on some more stickers so we'll do something after that.

[DJGuamstyles]

Stickers are in! Super impressed with the quality, but they had trouble with my bleeds on the black OTWS sticker as you can see. Oh well. I also ordered more Hosoi stickers, this time in better, thicker vinyl, silkscreened to last, and in a smaller size. About 1/3 smaller than the first one we did. If you want some, just "donate" a few bucks to me via paypal, and make sure to include your address, and I'll send you a sticker pack that includes the prior crappier ones (which aren't that bad, but comparing...). PP is djguamstyles (at) hotmail (dot) com.

^ Nice B....the OTWS decal is clean.

Cris.

[DJGuamstyles]

Thanks, hehe. I was trying to get it to fill in the 4x1 size, with the artwork I made, but I guess they were having trouble with the bleeds and what not. I'm a rookie with this shit, hehe. I guess that's what scissors are for.

Dope stickers B!

Nice stuff everyone!

[5150marley]

Picked this 70-200 f/4 L (non-is) up in a trade plus $100 CASH for my HV40 video camera... I wanted the IS version but for a the lens plus cash it was a decent trade.

All thats left is a tripod and a flash debating between the Speedlite 580EX II or the 430EX II... thats only a grand or so.

Maybe I will have enough cash with Xmas $ and after I sell my EF 28-135 3.5-5.6 IS and my EF-S 18-55 3.5-5.6 IS lenses....

[DJGuamstyles]

L series ... for the ballers like you Jim! And about the IS...how did people used to do without it back in the day huh? Not a deal breaker, but it is a nice luxury I admit.

[crisone]

Jim...I'm jealous.

Jim...I'm jealous.

Chris I got the lenses I wanted... at least 2 outta 3.

Do you want the 70-200 F/4?? I thought you shot primes mainly???

I have the 10-22 for the wide shots on my crop body, the 24-70 brick and now the 70-200 F/4 ( I wanted the IS but...)

Got any recommendations for a tripod/head that can hold my 50d and 24-70 and be able to hold a 70-200 F/2.8 IS when I rent or borrow one...

What do you use for a flash Chris?

[crisone]

^ I just want 2 more Lens', 70-200 f/2 and 135 2L.

Only prime I had was a 50 f/1.8, but my next will be the 135 someday.

For a tripod, I use this:

...it holds up my 5D, 24/70, 430ex (estimated 6-7 lbs) pretty cool.

For a Speedlight, I use a Canon 430ex.

If you look in my mirror, you can kind of see my set-up on the Tripod:

For some reason I thought you had more lenses....

Im jealous of the extra body I want another one but I will hold off till I make the jump to full frame I think UNLESS I find a 50D body for a steal...EOS 5D Mark II is only 2k for the body.

my gear list is as follows...

50D
EF-S 10-22 f/3.5-4.5
EF-S 18-55 IS f/3.5-5.6-GONNA SELL
EF 24-70 f/2.8L
EF 28-135 f/3.5-5.6-GONNA SELL
EF 50 f/1.8 Mark I (metal mount circa late 80's)
EF 70-200 f/4L non IS

Black rapid strap and factory canon strap(never use).... plus a Pelican hard case and a few different camera bags.
Also a SUPER CRAPPY "Kenlock" tripod that sucks bad... this will be given away once I get a better one.
Monofrotto 679 monopod with a 3229 head...
