Well we're actually having a public poll to vote on the best image. We won't be able to vote for ourself

I know b/c i know who submitted. But voting is only open to the regular posting members here. There won't be a actual poll but you'll post which pic you nominate for the grand prize. You don't have to submit a photo to vote though!

1300fg... shit, I may have to enter! haha

That's a lot of fg for a small competition, maybe split it into a few competitions?

I suppose it's better being a poll for the regulars, although there aren't many

It'll help stop voting being contaminated with bias.

Yes, I know that. What I am saying is that you're not just limited to just those if you don't want to shoot them.

lol Don't get me wrong. I wasn't complaining or anything. It just kinda made me realized how much I still have to learn about photography and creativity may not be my strong point

I got it about 10 days ago. I sold my 70-200 f/4L and brought this.. since i already have a 1.4x extender.. i can effectively make it a 200~mm f/2.8 if needed too. Haven't really had time to go out and shoot it.. but zomg i the lens. It's so light, blistering fast af, doesn't stand out in public like a white lens and most of all.. the bokeh :drool:

Straight from camera! no editing. EXIF intact

I agree it's a lighter and cheaper alternative to a 70-200 f2.8 but I do wish it also has IS especially when you are using a 1.4x TC.
I hope you will post some pictures taken with the extender attached so I will be able to decide whether I should get one myself or not lol.
btw gosu Chinese takeout box

What did you have? fried noodles?

Well I dunno how I would do that. I can't really scan the film and also I can't process any film at my house. So by the time it got back to me it would be long over.

I have a 127mm on my LF and a 90mm on my MF.

90 is ~50mm on 6x6 or 645 so it would be within the rules ^ ^

It's a shame it'll take a while to process :/ Don't you have any labs near you?

None that process anything other than 35mm.

And I shoot 6x7, or would that still be about 50mm?

Haha, yeah that's alot of FG. It was way more then i expected it to be. People here are very generous, donating for the greater good. :lol:

I suppose people won't be happy if i split the pot into multiple events.. I'll be hosting more and of course with FG prizes as well if this one is successful.

And yes, that's exactly why the voting is only open to regulars of the sub-forums, i've seen too many times where 1 person submits a subpar entry yet they get ridiculous amounts of votes.

Good! Looking forward to your entry.

Yeah man, no IS could be a pain sometimes.. but i don't see myself using this lens in low light conditions. I'll definitely post some pics with the 1.4x TC attached. Would you like reallife scenerios or would you like me to take a pic of a brick wall for analysis?

Hehe, the 135L can definitely make a gosu picture out of nothing! Truely amazing. I didn't know what they put in the box.. but i got some fried rice.

Um.. I guess i can put up a public poll and see what the consensus is. If they like the idea.. i don't mind either
