Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras

Should be here today and i am so fired up to shoot this thing!

:-o

That's a great lense!!!

Those are BOTH great lenses!!!!!   :-D  I wish I could get those.  Congrats on your recent purchases.

I have been extremely happy with the quality of the 24-70 I figured I needed to upgrade my 70-200F4 to the 2.8 and I went all out and even went with IS.

So i've got an f4 to sell on ebay now so hopefully i can get some decent coin for it.  The nice thing about L glass is it really holds its value.

Here's a sample from the 24-70 f2.8

You need to contribute some of your work to the 'paug art gallery!!!  I've been lazy about it lately and haven't gotten out with my camera, but I am hoping to make it out a bunch this fall. 


EDIT: The Gallery can be found here: http://week4paug.net/index.php?action=gallery

[CRAZYED]

Hrm, I didnt even know about the gallery

Maybe I will

Thanks for the heads up!

As a Co-Moderator of the Gallery, I insist that you contribute!!!!!!   :-D

[CRAZYED]

Well mr. moderator - my first submission is awaiting approval!

Nice stuff, matt.
I just picked up a new bag for my taping rig.
Gonna try and get it all together tonight and get some shots.

[CRAZYED]

Nice. I am going after a new bag next for my rig.  Maybe tonight on the way home from work.

Well mr. moderator - my first submission is awaiting approval!

I am having issues approving.  I sent Tet a PM to see what is going on.  I look forward to seeing more of your work though. 

[CRAZYED]

Cool I will try to remember and post stuff up there from time to time.

My picasa gallery is also here if you ever want to see more.  Although I am just about out of room there and dont really want to pay.  I would gladly pay if they allowed nested galleries.  I'm also contemplating switching to flikr but that is a pita too.  I used to run my own gallery with PHP gallery or whatever but then i had another computer / server to take care of so i finally ditched that.....

I already have you and your public gallery as one of my 'friends' in picassa.
Great stuff.

Oh, and you might consider suggesting the 'nested' galleries feature. You may be pleasantly surprised.

[CRAZYED]

Yeah, i've suggested it about 10 times.  Sadly no response

I've also suggested that they do shared storage between gmail/picasa.  I dont need 20 gigs of storage for gmail or whatever they give you these days...would be nice.

Oh well someday hopefully they catch on!

BTW i love that friends feature - it is nice way to keep updated on what yer friends are doing.

Nice stuff, matt.

Got a new (used) bag from a friend and got it nicely packed up. Thought I'd show it all off:

Here's the bag.


Let's take a look inside. Yep, that's a Sesame St. towel from my youth. You gotta know where your towel is.


Inside the towel? My trusty nJB3.


Underneath that?


This is how it'll look when I'm running:


And here's everything that's inside:


Superlux SMK-H8K/H/U (in a 5-cigar Otterbox knockoff)
KindKables Black Stealths
SD MP-2
JB3
Shock
Vert Bar with Clips attached & Extender (which sits in the shockmount)
and the Towel

[CRAZYED]

Nice nice!  I def. miss my days of taping at times.
