I hope Tracy doesn't read this...

He'll be right Stuart. He's ditched the fuel jerries, water, food and recovery gear so he's got heaps of spare room.

Actually, I,m going to have a test loading on Sunday morning, 'cause I'm going with another chap in his Nissan GU.

If I have too much, I'll have to ditch..... soap..... deodorant..... clothes......... food......... water........ THEN, my new lens.

Wolfie,

Dunno much about lens gizmos, but I'm pleased to see you're taking an insurance policy with you (in the form of your mate with the GU). At least if the Delicia (or r u taking the Honda?) breaks down, you'll have a reliable tow vehicle.

Look after yourself....

Avagooden...

Not sure if I'd be game to take the Delica, in it's current state. I would think that I would need a good 50 mm. lift, and some underbody protection & bar work.

Nope, I'm riding shotgun in the Nissan.........

Some would call it a step up, some wouldn't. It will be interesting at the end, to see what fared well, and what didn't.

Wolfie

I picked it up, along with a Hoya 77 mm. Circ Polariser, 77 mm. Skylight, 2 GB CF card, & lens, for $2850.00

It it Glass, and Alloy, no plastic. Full rubber seals everywhere, no vacuum while zooming.

Wolfie

i was gunna say dont bother...I checked on Centre.net....WOW! i'll ring tracy and let her know for you...how much you paid that is......

is that the IS USM or just USM

Tracy....where are you..........? TRACY!

hey ...does tracy know you have all this money ..money your not supposed to have.....

at least when i buy something i give swmbo an equal amount as well......allright 50%....
well maybe 30...would you believe 25%

2.8 is still good though aint it...
tracy not home...she aint answering the phone.......

I've got the ...

18 - 55 USM
28 - 80 USM
75 - 3-- USM

They are good lenses, but, just seem to lack something.

I haven't actually had time to rattle off some shots yet, all I have done is look thru it.

Auto focus is FAST!!!!!!

No hunting, just crisp, quiet & very, very fast.

The fact that it stays the same length, and the objective lens doesn't turn, makes setting the circular polariser really easy, set & forget, irrespective of focusing!!!

I don't think I will update to the Cokin "P" series....... got waaaay to much money tied up in the "A" series stuff.

I'll certainly have a play tomorrow.....

Wolfie

Jealousy is a curse ……………..and I'm Cursed Ha Ha

Trouble is, is her camera is a Minolta / Konica........ she might be onto me if I try......

Maybe I could tell her it's a hydraulic bottle jack for her Delica?

Wolfie

That would be a bloody expensive bottle jack especially if she went to use it as one. LOL

Unfortunately, Visa.... I'm saving my cash for going away.

The ONE thing I do have to do, is learn to carry the camera by the lens now, 'cause it's heavy. All good fun......

Whoa..... 500 mm. Tamron...... use x 2x, & digital @ 1.6 correction..... that's what...... 1600 mm?

Cheers

Wolfie
