I didn't want to clutter up the seller ratings thread, but dude, did I read right? You just re-bought the 1ds?

WTF?

    I think the old man's getting Alzheimer's. He just forgets what he's bought and sold, and goes and rebuys it.

    actually, i bought patch's 1Ds - not a 1Ds Mark II. i re-wanted the ff for wa landscapes and the zeiss distagon 21 f/2.8 that i have.

    i still have my 20d and am keeping it - two bodies for color work, the 1Ds for wa landscapes and anything in studio setup and the 20d for street, situational, and everything else (egrets, portapotties)?).

    i always said that ff is the way to go, but for my shooting styles, carrying the 1Ds Mark II as my only body wasn't the right choice for me. now, with the 1Ds, i get the ff at 1/2 the cost of the mark II - a great deal imo.

    oh and i guess technicall i have a third body - the 300d rebel, ir-modded. just took delivery of it yesterday, and just had a spin with it for some test shots in the park. more later on that..

    Just because there's method to your madness doesn't mean that it's not madness.

    Congrats on the ff body.

    What!!!! Andy Williams bought a camera??? I'm as shocked as I would be if you told me the sun came up. When we went to B&H they had three lines. One line was for film photography; one line was for digital; and the third line was the Andy Williams line. Three B&H salespersons have been able to retire on their sales commissions from Andy so far.

    Sure. You can always change it. :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol *breathe*

    Oh, that was too easy!

    Seriously, how likely are you to tote it all with you? More likely you need a bag for selected portions of your stuff, right? Plus safe storage at home. At least, that's the conclusion I came to. Hence, the Pelican plus three dozen soft bags. :D

    Harry,
    You got it right thumb.gifthumb.gif I too wasn't surprised when I heard the news. I wouldn't have been surprised if he told me he just bought a 1200mm lens off Ebay (to use for street shooting, from his living room :lol4 )

    I really enjoy listening to him rationalize his purchases.....lol Being the great salesman that he is, he can sell himself on any camera gear easily blbl.gif I just don't know how he keeps selling his wife on all this "stuff"? Maybe he's also buying more little "blue boxes"? ne_nau.gif Tiffany's is going to need their own "Andy Only" checkout line too rolleyes1.gif

    I am waiting for him to put a 10-22 lens up for sale. I know he is going to do it, just cause I don't have any money.

    I love that lens. Watching Humungus, he really works that lens.

    Visa has the "win what you buy" thing each month. As long as Tiffany's has a month return policy, just keep hoping you win, and that your wife doeesnt find the unwon stuff in the mean time, hehe.
