Re: The One, The Only...Box Shot Thread! (part three)

said by brian:

We went shopping yesterday while trying to get out of the heat (102 in the shade; up to 122 in the sun) and came home with this.

My wife says it's my anniversary (Oct 14) & birthday (Oct 6) present. I wonder how long she's going to make me wait to open it.

Picture was taken with my old S230. That camera has been good to me over the past 5 years.
my wife still won't let me open this. I feel like I'm a kid again, waiting for christmas morning.

A few new toys Ignore the dust, not in the lenses, just on them, lol. Haven't cleaned them up yet.

28mm f/2.8 Chinon




35mm f/2.8 Mosler




Chinon CP-5 & CP-5s (spot metering)




Edit: I forgot to add that I picked these up for just about nothing in comparison to what I should have had to pay for them, even on Ebay, lol!

Finally after 2 delays I have my camera. Actually it came sooner than they said the second time. Now I need to learn about a DSLR more,, but I think its going to be a great hobbie and expensive one at that,,lol. Anyone recommend some starter things to get, like basic filters or cleaning kits? I know I need to get a bag to protect it.

Definitely a bag. Get one big enough to grow with you a bit for when you get around to adding a few more lenses. As far as filters, I got this set of Tiffens for both of my lenses. If you select Adorama as the vendor, there is a major price difference of almost $20 compared to anywhere else.

I've gotten a fair amount of use from a tripod already, so that may be something to consider. You don't have to spend major bucks on one, but I wouldn't trust a Wal-Mart special with this setup. I already had the Suncom deluxe model you can get from Best Buy or Circuit City for like $80, and is sturdy enough for general use. There may be some cheaper models that are sturdy enough, but I especially recommend this one if you're a taller guy like me (6'4).

The last item that you might find useful (which I've yet to pick up) is a remote. The Pentax wired ones are quite pricey (more than the wireless; go figure). I think Gemologist See Profile had a link to an E-bay shop for third party ones that were like 1/4 the price.

Congrats and good luck with your new toy. You're gonna love it!

Together.
I have been waiting too long for this, for a nice comfortable roomy backpack that can securely hold my tripod. And I finally got a decent tripod.

Tamrac Expedition 5
Manfrotto 725B Tripod.

Haven't done any real field testing just pretend, and so far it seems to be perfect for me. Now I just need a 100-400 Lens and I'll be happy for the time being.

The Expedition 5 is far roomier than I need right now, but I will be able to grow into with another body more lenses a big zoom and a flash plus tons of rooms for filters, whatever it may be.

Nice camera yj4x4,,,,,, looks like Santa making some early stops this year. I almost went with the D40,, but Pentax was such a good value and deal for me.

Also thanks for the advice Jodokast96 and TigerNutz,, as extra money becomes available I'll be getting some of what u mentioned,,a bag will be first to protect camera though.

I used to have a Pentax K1000 35mm SLR. For being a low end camera it was quite good. Unfortunately, it and all my lenses were stolen from my car years ago. But i can't complain, the money from the insurence company paid for my first Nikon, a N6006 that I still have and use.

Pentax K1000 was a tank! It was one SLR you could always rely on!!

Woohoo.

I think one may be a Christmas present to myself.

Anyone want to buy a well-loved 20D?

Edit: Nevermind, I sold it already .

The new toy. $1599 from Schiller's. Came with the 17-85mm IS, Canon bag, spare battery. They called at 2PM, I had both kids in tow at 3PM picking it up last week.

Now the wifey has her own SLR (the XTi) and she's happy, too.
