Billy Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 D20050mm 1.8Tokina 12-24/f4SB-800SB-600some cheapo card that does the jobInvesting in another 800 soon, and probably the sigma 10-20, I hear its a whole lot sharper than the tokina. Gonna get the MB-D200 aswell, a bigger card so I'm not living in fear of RAW, and a decent tripod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Would 300 not be the biggest though?Not necessarily. Zoom lenses with big max apertures (I.e. the 2.8 on the 70-200) tend to be pretty large and heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Harrison Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 This could start getting silly. Because then I could start listing all my kit at work, and then all my dad's computers. I think if the topic-starter needed an idea of the sort of kit people are using, he's surely got it.To summarise, I'd say a half decent DSLR body, a 'kit' or everyday lens, say 18-70 or something, a longer lens for such occasions (70-200 or 300 if you want) and a half decent flash gun. Plus a tripod if needed. That's all you really need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Harrison Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 (edited) Nick, it was aimed at the post after yours. When I looked at your kit list, I thought yeah, that pretty much covers it, and is similar to what I've got. When I went down to London for the weekend last month I took my laptop for the first time. Was useful, plus I had the piece of mind of having downloaded my images of the card at the soonest opportunity. But you don't really need 8 Mac's to achieve that though, do you?

Grow up yup?Ok. I understand you calling me a 'willy' when I posted in the angry thread. But... realy what have I done, this is one of the most sensible posts i've seen on this forum. If anyone is being 'immature' I think it is you. if you dont like me. dont post on my topics. Yes. I am 14.You don't really need 8 Mac's to achieve that though, do you? 2 of them mac's arnt used. Thats why it says 'Storage' next to one of them (I forgot to post that) some are at my dads and some are at my mums. I got rid of them anyway. I suppose it looked like I was boasting when I wasn't trying to at all. I'm sorry if it looked like this. I realy am a 'Little willy' arnt I. I suppose its better than a 'Big willy'.Sorry I was meant to quote that little kid not you. Wrong button.I'm realy not that much smaller than you. only 4 years.

Fishy Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 If you take into account how much more experiences and shit he's done compared to you it is quite a lot. When you get older though it means f**k all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get older though it means f**k all.True. but still. its only 4 years. Its not like he is in his mid twenty's or something. 18, in my opinion is your first year of adulthood.
