hahaha LMFAO! You sound kinda upset lol. Well I would probably be too if I have spent so much time and energy finding all those coins and all of the sudden discover that some noob got something that I don't have hahaha.
Well it's one of those special nickels lol probably that's why it's so hard to find and it being different also helped me finding it too lol. hmm so what's so special about those 1991 pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters?
A coworker of mine told me that he has a huge collection of coins that was left behind by his ex gf lol so I am going to ask him if he has those rare coins ^^. If he's not too greedy I may even buy the whole collection biggrin.gif.

I got the panasonic LX3 just about a week or two ago. It's an awesome little camera but I am not sure I will be using it much.

My local camera store is having a sale on Canon cameras and since I have been looking for a decent and small point and shoot camera as some kind of backup to my 40D and something that I can take video clips with so I bought a Canon A570 IS like 15 minutes ago with money I saved for a tripod lol.

I am going to post some pictures later but first I need to find those tiny SD cards that I should have laying around here somewhere lol.

EDIT: It kinda surprises me how small and "plasticy" it feels in my hand lol and even though it actually has a normal viewfinder but it's kinda useless and tiny lol.

picture taken with it's big brother biggrin.gif

Well the thing is those two cameras cost almost as much as a dslr and I know they are a lot smaller but to me it's not really worth spending 400-500 dollars on a point and shoot tongue.gif.
I'd rather save the money on a better lens for my camera smile.gif.

hahaha! That's nice smile.gif. So do you like it? I am going to go out later and take some test shots with it to see how it performs in broad daylight which I think is the only time you should use a point and shoot lol.

I dont feel like id need new lens for a while and actually i had some plans to get the point and shoot. I was thinking that might sell the 50mm 1.2 and buy 50mm 1.4, that point and shoot and maybe adapter for m42 and atleast two some old lenses or pay little more and some eos mount lens. Or then just sell the 50mm 1.2, not buy the point and shoot, but buy 50mm 1.4, those old lenses and some canon lens. Reason i would like the 50mm 1.4 is because it would go way better with my film camera(that i would use instead of the point and shoot more), i cant be so sure if the 1.2 will focus right and i cant check the focus with film after the shot and take new one if needed, allso its so big that if i put it on the camera im holding the lens instead of the camera laugh.gif . That film camera with the 1.4 would prolly fit in my jackets pocket(got quite large). Allso i dont feel that the 50mm is that important that i need the slightly better quality on the 1.2, now that i bought this 24-105mm. Im still loving the 1.2, but not so sure if as much i would love those things i could get if i sell it. Might be that ill keep it tho.

Your plan sounds a bit confusing probably because I am still having this stupid flu and still feeling dizzy lol. So why the hell did you spend so much money on a f/1.2 when you could buy like a 50 f/1.4 and a billion rolls of films for that money (exaggerating) lol. If I were you I would probably get the EF 16-35 2.8L lens it's just so "gosu" for landscape and low light photography but you are more into portraits which the 50mm is probably better for that purpose. haha I see you have some huge pockets. Is that because you want to keep a large bag of weed and a pipe with you at all time?

I dont like much wider than 24mm, i had the 10-20mm on my 400/40d and i got so bored with so wide angle, i thought the 24mm would be too wide, but now that im using it i think its just the right widest angle for me. Maybe im sounding confusing because really high happy.gif , dunno. Enyway i forgot to say that i made little tuning for my film camera and id want to use it more than i wanted before, especially in the summer. Because my eye sight isnt perfect (but not so bad i think i would need glasses normally(they still gave me free glasses in sivilian service) and there is no diopetric adjustment on the camera the camera wasnt fun to use because couldnt see info or the focus points clearly and focus looked off when it wasnt. But i made my own diopetric lens from the glasses i got from the sivilian service biggrin.gif , lens on them was made from plastic, so it was quite easy to make. Now that i can use it better i would want to use it more.

I allso forgot to add that i would want to buy camera bag, but maybe ill just buy it even if i dont sell the 50 1.2. I was thinking this bag http://java script: olc(\


Hahhaa nah i dont keep weed there, and i have never even seen so much weed that would fill the pockets. They can fit 1litre juice container(what ever its called), with the pocket closed happy.gif

Well I don't really understand the first part what you said about your film camera tongue.gif but I kinda want to get a film camera too for taking pictures in the summer happy.gif.

and that link you posted doesn't work so I don't know what camera bag you are interested in tongue.gif. I just bought one myself it's a Lowepro Slingshot AW200 I think lol and it's the perfect size for my needs but could be a lil bit too small for your huge ass EOS 1 though lol.

lmfao!! Those pockets of yours are indeed HUGE I don't think I have ever worn a jacket or any clothes with pockets that would fit a one liter juice container biggrin.gif. Oh I think I know what you are using it for! for keeping bottles of vodka when you are out drinking with your friends laugh.gif
