Well friends...
Please visit my Flickr account and comment the pictures there...
With the invasion of flames I don't feel quite like posting much new stuff..
I have a picture on second page titled Predator that I just replaced (it was a temporary pic) and would like some opinions on it :)
Thanks!! :hug:


Fantastic shot ma'am.

even sharper then the 70-200 f/2.8 Mark II?


Yo! Dude!
I have another question for you. Do you have extension tubes? or have you used one?
I have been shooting close up shots of larger insects and plants with the 135L but often I just wish I could zoom in a bit by extending the focal length AND increasing the magnification so I would imagine an extension tube together with a 1.4x TC may could solve my problem.
lol Right now I am just too poor to get a true macro lens :p

a battery grip is a real pleasure to the hands. my hands really fit the cam alot better now. and it actually feels like I got something in my hands....


Personally, I hate battery grips. It adds unnecessary weight especially to larger cameras :(

What is a 24-120?

Get the 24-70 and the 70-200 VR II

The tele is probably the sharpest zoom I've ever used.


well i have put the camera on the back burner i just spend 30k on a deposit for my house. just cant justify the spend atm, maybe in a few months :(

I remember a while back I was going to get one of these! I lost all motivation to get one because I lost my gift card to the camera store :( Plus, it is very expensive. I wonder if there is a generic brand name battery grip instead of the Canon BG-E3

get the phottix battery grip then. I ordered it last week. it came with the grip and two additional high quality batteries. it´s very well built and almost the same as the canon one. and it fits perfectly. I dont see the point in spending 180 bucks in a canon grip if I can have exactly the same for 70 bucks.

180, wow it's like 200 dollars here O_o but ya, I feel the exact same thing.... 200 dollars for a battery grip? I am poor.

I saw other battery grips for other cameras and they were like 400 dollars and up :rofl:

Thanks, it's called phottix battery grip I just google that?
