Jon, that 35-70 would be sick!

I'm about to buy a Guy Fawkes mask on Amazon along with the 17-35 f4. Psyched on both.

Another shot of my brother's Jetta from yesterday:


EDIT: Instant buyers remorse when I bought the 17-35mm so I canceled it. It's hard for me to justify spending $600 on it. Bought a 24mm instead.

 

At least you bought a lens. All is right in the world.

 

Hahahah. I cant tell whether or not that's sarcasm.

 

my 50mm f1.4d took a dump on me today the focus goes out when ever it feels like it.....debating to take advantage of the rebates right now and buy a 50mm 1.4g or paying to fix this lens.

 

Friends: "Bro you wanna go downtown tonight?"

Me: "No thanks, man. I'm going to stay in and play with my camera and a Guy Fawkes mask."

Friend: "......k."

 

Lol, no. Any lens is a good purchase.

 

So I was out for a drive yesterday, and this beauty of a truck passes me going another direction. Stance was perfect, color was awesome, ect ect. Then low and behold about 10 minutes later I see it again coming towards me. This time, I had room to work with, no traffic behind me, and was able to stop and fire off a few shots through the window.



This, is the results. Man this truck was dead on awesome.

 

Ohhh, love me some ol skool low boys! I'm going to build me one someday.

 

Cool shots, Jasper. My mask and 24mm should be in on Wednesday. Hope to take them out and get some shots sometime next weekend.

Not too into old American trucks, but I can definitely respect it. Nice color, for sure.

 

Just snapped a quick one. Couldn't think of anything creative.



In other news, I'll be ordering my 85mm momentarily.

 

'Tis the season of upgrades and new lenses.

I liked the 85 on DX because its so sharp, but it seemed too narrow at times.
Love it on FX. Much more versatile.
Did you get the 1.8D or 1.8G?

 

How do you like the 40mm pancake Jasper? I was thinking of grabbing it since its so inexpensive even if it is a f/2.8.

 

Anybody want to move from Nikon 35mm film to Canon...? Wanting to trade my Canon EOS Rebel K2 and 28-90mm for a Nikon film body.

 

Yeah I never thought I'd think my 50 was too wide, but after going FX it is for some situations. Gonna go for the 85G. It's a better lens over the 85D all around from what I've read.

 

Loving it. For $200 it's super sharp even wide open. And the fact that its so little is just cool. The STM step motor is kind of weird. There's a slight delay and it just feels funny since its electronic focus. But it doesn't bother me.

 

 

I guess I'll try this thing out.

 

Looking out the back door today,


My wife measuring the depth,

 

Beautiful pic!

 

Thanks, man!
You got hit a lot harder than we did down here in NW Arkansas. Wish we had more. Dreading going back to class tomorrow.
