Digital SLR / DSLR Camera Question / DSLR Thread 2

[BrassPremier]

You can't go wrong with the 70-200 2.8L IS anyways. It's such a solid performer. I just wish all of my lens had IS that good!

You mean 70-200 VR?

oh yeah... nikonians...

Meanwhile, my camera is growing... (got my grip)

 

[Ritz]

is that a 15mm 2.8?

 

[drizz]

is that a 15mm 2.8?

yup. Can you believe I've had this lens for about 8 years now?

 

[Ritz]

yummmm

 

[drizz]

yummmm

But it'll take second seat to my new main lens...

I never cared for a vertical grip much. Chose the D700 over the D3 last year. I've tried several times to use one, really wanted to like it, but it just didn't work for me. So if you see a guy shooting with his elbow way up in the air, it's probably me. arty

I had gotten used to the grip on my F4, so I had to get it for my D90. Extra room for hands and nice portrait shutter button is great, and of course double battery life is nice

 

[Cycle61]

I really liked it on the F4, but never on the digital bodies. Even when I had a D3 I rarely used it.

weirdo

I have a feeling I'm gonna really wish I'd spent the extra $80 for the 200 f/2, aren't I?

Edit: tempted.

Really damn tempted.

Maybe I'll switch the order when I go pick it up.

sweeeeet temptation. nothing like lens regret when looking at a pic.

this is my first grip, but i got it mostly for the portrait shutter. we'll see how i like it. it's become a massive camera once you add the LSII

Oh my....

Can't upload pics (retarded internet connection) but I'm gonna have fun with this thing.

 

[drizz]

I think there's a fire in the tahoe area fuckin my light all up!

 

[Cycle61]

Dude, fires = soft warm daylight

Shot a wedding last summer when the sky was all orange for a solid week...awesome light, even straight against the sun at 5pm!

 

[wannabe]

Also fires = fantastic sunsets!!!!

 

[Cycle61]

I'm shooting at the same location tomorrow...I hope it's hazy, because the sun goes down pretty much directly behind the gazebo, and the ceremony is at 6-7pm.
