And I could rip into EVERYTHING I just posted as pics even more than that. I find the 'small' screen on the camera to completely be frustrating. Things look SO different once you blow them up.

Depth of field is all too short in these. I get dizzy looking at them. Could use that short I think if you changed them so it wasn't the center of the picture that is in focus. I am by no means an artist and only talking out my ass, but what you have shot there is exactly what frustrated me completely about the 1.4 50mm that made me nearly throw it away (to ebay). Most of Aidan's baby pictures have one eye in focus and nothing else DOF is a great tool for telling a story, but you have to get the whole subject in focus and off center.

This is about as wide as 17 gets All you get with 11 And here is 11 not being wide enough

F stop isn't available in video mode (or perhaps I need to read the manual) Also not so sure a short FOV is what I'd want in a video of the kids. They move so fast it isn't easy to keep anything in focus the way it is.

Time for a wideband

Time for a german freezer

Nah, the 2.8 isn't really necessary when shooting wide. I almost always have the Fstop at 11-16. This is where the Tokina shines. The Tokina also CANNOT be used on a full frame Canon as it is crop only. Nikon lets you do that with built in vignetting. 18 isn't anywhere near wide enough either. Not even close. I'd like more than the 11 regularly...

<-been too cheap to grab the 70-200

I love mine. They can be had with about a half a dozen different combos of lens as a package for about the same as just the body. i will most likely pick up the 200 lens you suggested, for the wife, for indoor, low light. BUT being i can score another lens for next to nothing with the body, what would you suggest for a good landscape lens? I personally am WAY more interested in photographing geological sites than anything else. The 200 has no zoom. In an ideal world, with that camera I would have: Tokina 11-16 2.8 Canon 17-55 2.8 IS Canon 50mm 1.2 (1.4 acceptable) Canon 70-200 2.8 IS II Everything else is a compromise. 17-55 is the lens I would get with it. Otherwise whatever else you get is disposable.

I love mine.

Had to paint the console and my sled mounts so I figured I'd snag some cheap ugly painted furniture and fix it.

Have fun!

I figured you'd add cock to that list

Photo fail! Moved all my shit in photobucket, wanted to see how that worked without actually looking at it first which then shows the picture. Figured that would happen, but fuck it I am not using imageshack anymore and folders trump random.

For what?

So I'll take that as a "no one has invented" a good inline fuse yet then?

The price is piece

I'd rather have the 70-200 L glass on the XS than the 75-300 on a 7D II. I have an XSi and it still shoots well. Helped a ton putting a real lens on it. That being said it does suck compared to the 70d though.

Gauge package mounts built. From an old flourescent light fixture. I should really buy some more rigid material, but I had this and for a mock up it is sweet....sweet enough it may be permanent lol.

Wheee, the toe tipper is fun!!
