Brandon Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 $1400 or so arent they? I've seen them privately sold for around $1200ish Holy **** u are rich Not really. I work a lot. Its a hobby, and I make money off of it. I really have been eyeing a 300mm 2.8 lens for awhile, for football, soccer and baseball. 70-200 + teleconverter needs to be stopped down to 5.6 to become sharp again it has a huge lens hood on it here it is without the hood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazzy88ss Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) Holy **** u are rich wow seriously? The 40D, which he has, was $1500. The 70-200 f2.8 IS, which he has, is around $1500. Both are way more than the $900 tokina lens he just got. My D90 kit? $1300. It's what photography costs. It's our hobby and our passion. I don't own any video games that were made passed the year 2000. Nor DVDs. Nor CDs. It's what we choose to spend our money on.

o0moonman0o Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 mm should be an ok lens, might be a bit slow for sports though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keito Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 mm should be an ok lens, might be a bit slow for sports though.slow as in focus or slow as in aperture? I'm by no means a pro but I consider f2.8 to be quite fast for a 300mm lens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshalus Veteran Posted February 26, 2009 Veteran Share Posted February 26, 2009 Holy **** u are rich dude like most people i just started working and earn 60K a year and married. I cant afford more than 200$ a year right now for lenses It's all relative, like has already been mentioned. If you cut back on other things you can afford to spend more on stuff like that, if you choose to. For people who have a passion for photography and can make money on it, it's all worth it. If you're a pro, spending $800 on a piece of equipment (which is really just a tool) you can eventually make back in one shoot, is a pretty good deal. I look at people with Nikon D3X's and Canon 5DII's and think they're out of their mind, then I realize, the majority of people who buy those cameras are going to see a return on that investment in a short period of time.

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted March 12, 2009 Veteran Share Posted March 12, 2009 Why? Financial reasons mostly. I didn't have much free time because of school. My gear was just sitting in my room collecting dust. I figured I'd sell it all to help out with my family. :( Brandon: Show us what that baby can do! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
