koffiejunkie's new camera

First shot (really, I held out until I had something to take a decent picture of):



As it happens, my flat has a view on the cricket grounds, so I just hung out the window for this one :)
 
No foot shot :eek:

BTW - which cricket grounds?
 
Hehe, I have several, but they were taken later, when I was sitting with my feet on the table and playing around with bokeh at different apertures on the nifty fifty. I don't really want to post my ugly toes here anyway :)

I think it's the local area cricket grounds. Nothing professional as far as I can tell, the teams that play here are pretty amateurish.

Nice.

I wonder if my wife would like to upgrade from the 350D to my 30D :cool:

I'll be back in the US early next month for a few weeks - very tempted - I did consider the 5D as my next upgrade, but I'm really happy with my EF-s lenses.

Now, if you take it to the pub again keep it around your neck.

With the exchange rate at the moment, the body was actually cheaper here :eek:

Given that you own that gorgeous 17-55 f/2.8, I'd say stick to the xxD line :) I was very tempted to buy it, but damn, it's gotten expensive!

I'm not taking it to the pub :) Although I'm sure I eventually will.
 
Congrats Koffie!

(now, don't leave it lying around in the pub when you go for a p ;))

If you dont mind me asking which shop did you use?

www.cameraworld.co.uk. Jacobs was a few bucks cheaper, and the guys there are really helpful, but they didn't have stock. Paid £1099 (I see it's gone up now). B&H was $1799 which was about £30 more even before I add tax, P&P duties, uk tax... (I see they have rebates now). Damn, things change fast!
 
I just checked the price of the 1D Mark III - £3299.98 vs $3844.95 . . . I think I'm going to try the B&H route.

That's a substantial difference! Is that including sales tax? The cheapest in the UK is Amazon right now - £2939.94.

No sales tax for internet purchases if you do it right.

I'll have my mother fetch it from the states and carry it here or to the UK if I decide to go that route.
