Picturepro · Jul 2, 2005

for $1177.00 from
http://www.digitalfotoclub.com/sc/from-pricegrabber.asp?id=964594483&rf=pg&dfdate=06_29_2005

They said it would ship 3 UPS on Friday... but this holiday
weekend slows everything down

Now I want this weekend to be over.... so I can get my new toy

I have the 17-35mm and sometime need to take a step closer .... now I'll just zoom that extra 20mm
need to sell it off... used they are selling for $1000 from KEH.com

Nice one, I've heard the 17-55 is a really nice lens. It's the next one on my lens lust list, so once you have given it a good test drive be sure to let us know what you think.

It really is a fine piece of glass. The images I get from mine are very sharp.

This was taken with the 17-55 set at 55mm, 1 second @ f14, nikon A2 and circ polarizer.

Bill, this is one tack sharp lens, great for a walk-around..... Wait til you see the landscapes it can shoot - everything is in focus!

Dave, I've always loved that photo of yours, esp the little spot of sunlight at the top of the bridge - very nice!

Wow... I want my Mtn bike on that bridge...

what great jump that would make :twisted:

TOLady · Jul 6, 2005

Paul, very nice and VERY green!! Guess all that moisture falling out of the UK sky is worth it after all *LOL*

Bill - and when you and your bike get to the end of the bridge, and I'm standing there with my camera on tripod, be ready to be introduced to my longest lens!! :twisted: *LOL*
Jarrell has a better idea for bridges....

You better be fast... these bike are very quiet... and I've hit down hill speed up to 50mph....
disc brakes 5' travel Front and Rear

now I have a little nikon 5400 for travel... to much weight for a big 35mm
and lens.
There are great trails out there... and I now shoot while biking :twisted:
:lol:

I'm spoiled and on Cable Internet...
some less fortunate people are only dial-up
so I did not want to kill them with silly big files
people want to see and read not wait for page/ image to load...

I felt it was a little large... I got yelled at over on nikonians
for my file size a couple time... now I'm hesitant to post
