Grats. [editline]15th January 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Trogdon;43534649]It'll end up being about a 35mm lens in FF terms, so decently wide. I have the lens and it's pretty good, I recommend it but see if it's cheaper on eBay because I got mine for like $445 (though it was sony mount)[/QUOTE] He says he'll use it with a speed booster, so it'll give results as if you're actually using a 24mm f/1.4 on a FF.

Oh, yeah, right.

got my 24mm, im in love already. the AF speed is amazingly fast and mine is way sharper than people make them out to me. also it came with the $50 hoya UV filter :)))

Bottle of Oasis leaked in my camera bag all over my gear. Everything seems to be fine but now everything is also fruity scented, is there anything I can do to about this or do I just have to wait until it fades away?

I got rid of this tobacco stench from my KR-10 Super by putting it on my desk and hotbox the shit out of my room. IDK what methods there are that don't involve illegal substances, maybe some deodorant or parfum??

Got an Sony Alpha 3000...word of advice, don't buy unless you have LR 5. I don't...

[QUOTE=Uber|nooB;43538780]6d on the way yay[/QUOTE] I just got mine and I'm IN LOVE! EOS remote actually works pretty well, and the image quality blows me away compared to the 60d I had previously.

[QUOTE=Mysterio;43569983]I just got mine and I'm IN LOVE! EOS remote actually works pretty well, and the image quality blows me away compared to the 60d I had previously.[/QUOTE] Same with me when I upgraded from my 600D. Not having a flippy screen is sort of a bummer though, but EOS remote works a lot better in many scenarios. Remote clicking when doing studio work or taking aurora pictures etc is awesome.

6d ordered

A lot of friends of mine are buying Sony A7's. What are FPers doing. Buying a EOS 6D :v:

friend has 6D, wifi is so cool

I'm going to be the last to get FF ;(

Nahhh it will probably be me

I LOVE the wifi on my A7 too, it's so damn handy in a studio shoot to just be able to wirelessly tether and show them the results on the iPad instantly. Helps critique and get poses right too.

[QUOTE=Trogdon;43571242]I'm going to be the last to get FF ;([/QUOTE] I'm still repping my Lumix G2 brah - although I'm shooting 5x4 large format now so fuck all yo' full frames my frame fuller

i dont think i will ever get ff the main reason for it imo - easier wides and better noise - are being taken care of with modern aps-c mirrorless

[QUOTE=Him1411;43572646]I'm still repping my Lumix G2 brah - although I'm shooting 5x4 large format now so fuck all yo' full frames my frame fuller[/QUOTE] I want to get into LF as well but I just lack the courage. Comparing the size of large format negatives with those of my small and medium format shots makes gives me an inferiority complex.

I wouldn't shoot large format on a day to day basis mate, you really want to have a good idea of what you want to do with it first because it is a lot of effort.

its called the pentax Q, its like $200 with lens on ebay.

whats the point of the flash popping up for small cameras its best to have the flash as close to the lens as possible so you get an almost ring-flash effect
