Good thing she's not looking for a job, who would hire her/it?? Somebodies putting food on her table. Doesn't look like she's missed many meals. There is a roof over her head also.

Where is natural selection when you need it???

I am looking to "lighten" my photography equipment. I have been able to sell a Canon 5D Mark III and a Canon 70D. Since, as my 5 year old grandson puts it, "we are a Canon family", I am researching the Canon T4i and T5i. The thing I noticed and the reason for the question is, the T4i (body only) is $130 more expensive than the T5i (body only). Its the same whether its Amazon, B&H, or Adorama. My question is why? These seem to be identical in terms of specs, with the possible advantage to the T5i. Thanks for your help.

If you look, you'll see that many of the bigger companies, B&H included, no longer sell the T4i. They had many issue with the new DIGIC 5 processor and were tired of dealing with returns. The T5i has this processor, so they must of worked out the issues. So, the true question is T3i or T5i. I have the T2i and love it. It's still my workhorse, I have my 400mm permanently on my 7D. I know there is very little difference between the T2i & the T3i.

Another thing. Do you plan on shooting video? Some of the Canon line of STM lenses only work with certain bodies. They still work as normal lenses, you just can't take advantage of the focusing motor. You won't go wrong with either body.

So, your employer decided you should kick in part of your health care costs, as have most other employers, and now you're choosing to bug out is somehow the presidents fault?

You know, there is a lot not being laid out on the table here. First, your contribution will be offset by being deducted before taxation, which will substantially lower what will actually be deducted from your paycheck. Second, there are so many variables NOT described with your assertions that a meaningful discussion is not even possible, which I somewhat think is what you want in this discussion.

People are being forced into "kicking in" some of the cost because the cost of healthcare has skyrocketed. Yes, that is BamBam's fault. You'd like us to believe that it's our evil companies that are forcing you to kick in a percentage.

First, I am aware of the fact it is not taxed. So the $20 I'll save every month in taxes will make up for the almost $200 out of pocket increase. Yes, that's sound like liberal math. Secondly, there are a different set of variables for every person which makes it impossible to lay out everyone's details.

Your government does not give a hairy rat's ass about you!!!!! If you think otherwise, you are a complete fool. This is about control, not healthcare. The older I get the more I realize how few and far between truly bright people are. There is no greater sign of ignorance than allowing yourself to be controlled.

You know damn well there is a whole lot more to that story, and it is not Obama's fault! Let's hear from your employer. Talk to me baby.

ACA signups will reach thirty million, but this was planned to take three to six years to hit those numbers, the ACA was never touted to reach that number in the first year, never! Obama never said that. You or one of your faux news sources made that rant up to cover up your fanny

Where's your exact evidence about how many people lost their health care because of the ACA---and did not get better, cheaper coverage from the ACA? Let's have it. Produce it. You cannot.

I know that evidence doesn't exist, and you know it too!

Yes, Harry Reid, I'm lying. You and your lib buddies are lucky that evidence does not exist. Your Messiah can say anything he wants about the sign-ups. After all, he does have "the most transparent administration ever."

".......and it's not Obama's fault." That's another joke, you should be on stage. NOTHING is BamBam's fault, yet everything from 2000 on to today is Bush's fault. The teflon prez.

You want to "hear from my employer" because you've been brainwashed to think him evil. Last year, to keep premiums down so he would not have to start asking us to pay part of it, he chose a policy with a $1,500 deductible for each of us. Then he put $1,500 for each of us into an account to use to pay our deductible.

" Where's your exact evidence about how many people lost their health care because of the ACA---and did not get better, cheaper coverage from the ACA? Let's have it. Produce it. You cannot. " Can you prove the contrary?? NO!!!

30 million out of 300 million?? Why not put those 30 million on medicare?? It would have been cheaper, easier, quicker, and met with much less resistance. I'll tell you why not. Because it's about control.




Which of the two do you think more accurate:


1) BamBam and all the other libs truly, deeply care for you.

2) You're complete idiots.

More rants, it is after all, all you have left. Keep your eyes on the polls over the next few months, I'm betting they will change in favor of the Democrats once again before the election, if for no other reason than you and your friends continuing the spewing forth of all this right-wing nonsense!

Here it is again, enjoy!



That is a joke!!

First, let's pretend that's an actual number. The whole "goal" of Obamacare was to insure the 30 million people without insurance, not even close. Now we can truthfully disclose the facts about that number, 8 million. A large % of those people are those that have lost healthcare thanks to you idiots. I know. I'm one of them.

I went from having my coverage completely paid for by my employer, to now having to dish out an extra $175 a month. That's a big increase in monthly bills. So, as of Jan 1st, I will temporarilly be without healthcare. We started with 30 million uninsured. Can't wait to see how far we surpass that number. Of course that will just give the libs another excuse to implement more control, and you idiots will fall for it again.

So yes, let's all give BamBam a big thank you.

As much as I love my 100mm macro, it is usually too much for portraits. I might have a solution. Get yourself a fairly wide lens, such as the 40mm macro mentioned, and you will cover both options. However, if you are like me and want more than 40mm from a macro, then there are solutions. Extension tubes & bellows work, but you decrease the minimal focal distance and sometimes loose "auto" control. This is fine for studio work, but trying to get that close to a living critter is difficult.

I pulled out my 40 year old Mamiya Sekor 55mm f/1.8 (This was/is a great, sharp lens). I then spent $20 on 2 adaptors. One was a Canon-to-M42 screw mount so now I can use this lens on my current Canon bodies. The second was a front filter thread adaptor. This allows me to reverse mount this old lens to my macro (or any lens). It almost doubles my magnification, they are under $50 on e-bay, and they are better quality glass than those "close-up" filters.

So get off your ass and come up with something better.

This goes for all of you:

Until you light your house with candles, walk to work, and use fire to heat the water you carried up from the stream.......SHUT UP!!

Everyone of you say that what we are doing is bad, yet none of you will live without the basic necesseties that oil, gas, or coal provide. We had a big push for wind turbines in western PA a few years back. The same group that pushed for them have now fought for them to be turned off at night. It seems a rare bat was discovered dead near one. They can't prove it was killed by the turbines, but "we can't take that chance." So, we've taken an already tenuous energy source, and cut it's production abilities in half. Maybe more so, as it tends to be windier here at night.

Last week they really ramped up the "bovine flagulance" theory. You think you're paying a lot for meat, milk, and dairy products now, wait 'til the lying idiots like Al Gore get hold of this. It's ok that he takes his private limo to his private jet to go to his giant home with a monthly elec bill average of $1,200 a month.

Do as we say, not as we do. :thumbup:

As the climate changes, and it is changing, there are going to be more extreme weather events - both heat waves, as experienced last summer and extreme low temperatures such as the winter that isn't quite ended. And we're going to see more and more severe hurricanes.

These things are going to have an impact on all of our lives, through increased utility bills, higher food costs and loss of habitat.

There is little doubt that the present climate events have a cause that has been accelerated by mankind. We may have reached a tipping point and the sixth great extinction will include us. Of course, it's just fine to say "Well, that's going to be x years from now. I won't be around. So it doesn't matter to me." Unless you have children or grandchildren and you would like them to live long and fulfilled lives.

The "load up the U-Haul" argument and the "7 inches in 100 years" thing just makes me weep because it would indicate a complete lack of caring about the future and caring about civilization as we know it.

It's extraordinarily selfish.

Correct, I missed the 40mm and 55-250mm. Canon does not list a 22mm in either an EF or EF-S mount on their website, only a EF-M 22mm and it is not an STM. The manual for the 55-250 list 20 bodies that the lens is compatable with. Most of the digital APS-C's that they have made. The manual was probably printed before the 70D came out because it is missing from the list.

The manuals for the 18-55 and 18-135 have similar lists.

That's because the Canon EF-M 22mm f/2 STM has been discontinued. The "White Box" version is still available & B&H.

Canon has 2 STM lenses. 18-55 and 18-135. They are EF-S lenses and will work with any cropped sensor (APS-C) DSLR that Canon has ever made.


Yes, and no. They "work", just not the STM part. You forgot the 55-250mm, 40mm, and the 22mm. I own the 40mm, great lens. However, from B&H:

"STM functionality provides quiet, smooth and continuous autofocus during video operation (continuous video autofocus only when used with the Canon EOS 70D, Rebel T4i and T5i). The circular aperture formed by 7 diaphragm blades combined with the wide aperture can give you beautiful bokeh--the out-of-focus background areas of your images. This 40mm lens will give you a view equivalent to 64mm when used on a camera with an APS-C sensor, and is able to focus as close as 11.81"."

One more thing, if you shoot alot of video, you may want to double check the T5i. The STM lenses that Canon came out with only work with select models. I can't recall if this started with the T3i or the T4i??????

Well, for the record pigpen, I don't hate you :). You guys have a great team in Pittsburgh and I'll say it even though you spoiled the fun in 09'. Fans can get a little too invested in their team sometimes regardless of the city or team. Good luck to you guys, unless we meet in the playoffs, then all bets are off! :D




Ditto.
