J - it is irrelevant if you have made your choice. That being said I literally went in and shot Fuji & Nikon before buying the 70-200. I figure spending that much on a lens wouldn't cost me all that much to completely change platforms. (replacement - selling mine of course) So I tried with mostly open eyes. I say mostly as I wasn't as eager to swap to Nikon as Fuji, but I was surely eager to not own the Canon 70-200. It is FUCKING HUGE. That sucks. That suck is the only suck it has though, the rest is somewhat magic.

Fuck both of you. $15k will get me out of this cheap .... and that is not for geothermal. Big AC and furnaces don't meet the efficiency guidelines for getting me jack. Needing a 135k BTU furnace and 4.5 tons of AC blows donkey.

Sorry for your loss. No matter the age it is never easy

FUCK furnace shopping SUCKS

god damn magic

As for what to shoot your stuff at, that depends. Really there are 2 choices though. The stuff in between are all compromises. Choice 1: blurred background. Smallest fstop possible of course without blurring too much. Choice 2: everything in focus. IIRC that lens is the cleanest around f11 so for shots where you want your car to be in focus and the house behind it, f11 is a good starting point.

The amount of background is less because there is less background. Better to think about framing the same picture with 2 different focal lengths instead of something arbitrary as that will confuse the scientist in you into a non-optics discussion but an artistic one.

I grabbed the Canon 70-200 2.8 IS II a while back. Holy hell is it great!

Gaptastic.

Tell us more.

Hang with it. Light at the end of the tunnel is bright

Not that I boxed those either.

Probably should just do it in raw birch ply like my speakers.

Found this months 10%...but that may not be enough, lol

Typical Sean Need a loop pedal $50, almost bought a double so I started to shop for a power supply . Found those for $170, but wiring one is a pain without a pedal board ($50 in wood), always swore the next visible box I made would be machine dovetailed, so I started shopping for a dovetail jig ($100-holy fuck) which magically led me to think of upgrading the router extension on the table saw (fuck me 2x). I need a Rockler coupon.

Not that you got it taken care of, but had to.

Fuck, really? That sucks!

You dump in your own thread lol.

donkey

<--back in MN with my snowmobile trailer all loaded up to go NOWHERE

It is fucking raining here. Damn bullshit

I thought for once you may not want to be the laughing stock of the whole internet...but instead you act like a 5 yr old and ignore the message while reading. Common for you and probably the biggest personality blind spot you have holding you back in your life. Sad.

This is an off topic thread to post garbage in...and amusingly I didn't derail it. I am trying to help you but you are resisting.

And more importantly was there enough snow to snowmobile?

Which part?
