Quite a posse. How about posting a capture with each.


Trip out of state in a few weeks will afford the opportunity to get off this sand bar and capture some images.
I will bring your suggestion to life!
Appreciate your suggestion!

Bruce, does that mean you have been so busy buying lenses that you haven't had a chance to use any of them yet?

Bit the bullet and bought the 70-200 2.8L glass I have been lusting after. A month after I bought the 10-22 lens I had been wanting.
I think (HOPE) I have ever bit of glass I can reasonably expect to use.

Now. the question.

HOW DO I STOP buying camera glass?
70-200 2.8L
100-400 3.5L
18-200 EFS
28-135 EF
10-22 EFS
100 2.8 EF Macro

professional help?

I could arrange to listen to your problems and take payment in glass, would that help, VBG, Bob.

I live on LI, 900 bucks a month in property tax is quite sufficient!


I think LI pays more than most of NJ, of course by the sqft I probably win, except to someone in B'k'lyn,

I was going to get one of them, but I saw the weight. Of course, I would also have to buy a Canon camera. :D

You know, of course, that they will be selling those lenses, but probably not to the casual shooter.

I looked at that lens, for about 5 seconds! Then I called my salesman at Adorama and bought this one:

http://www.adorama.com/SG50045NEOS.html

It has left me broke enough to stop my lens buying for quite a while! But has it stopped me from wanting? Of course not! Look around or pick up a photography magazine. You can always find something you would like, want or need!

Who ever said "he who has the most toys wins" must have been into photography.

It'll always be one more lens than what you have.

buy what you need and will use. you have too many zoom lenses that overlap with each other.

Like so many of us, Jer, a good little consumer. Happens a lot, but that's fine, it's only money. Rob.
