Giotto tripod and ball head, Lowepro Sling Bag, D7100 and Keen Hiking boots

VERY nice. I've got the Lowepro bag, D7100, Keen Hiking boots, but a Manfrotto tripod LOL

I was given a Frio V2 cold shot. Very cool!

This came in today
Also got a Voigtlander Ultron 40mm f2 manual focus lens.

Have just been playing around with it in the house this evening and setting up the camera how I like it.

Just in my initial testing around the house the Voigtlander is a bit sharper and has better contrast wide open compared to the 50mm/1.8G or the 35mm/1.8G on my D7100.

Congrats - the Df is such a cool looking camera.
Wishing you many happy and successful snaps with it.

I just got things settled on a bad purchase on e-bay for my Neewer flash. Now I got this one coming.

 

[J-see]

Since my 300mm ain't going to be for tomorrow, I decided to first tweak the reach between my 50mm and 200mm. I have the 70-300mm but desire something wider open and a bit more punch.

I hope you will keep testing the Voigtlander and keep us informed, this is one lens that I have been considering.

I'd really like to see samples images done with this Voigtlander wide open. Enjoy!

I don't know about the lens, but that Cam sure looks sweet!

So.... I wanted a Tamron and a couple other lenses, but my back said I needed this on the front of my truck, instead. Just in time for mud season. I'll probably still be using the snowblower a bit, though.

I didn't buy this, but I made it...with the help of my next door neighbour, who just happens to be a master welder. I made the ring and tube out of 1/8" thick aluminum, and the neighbour welded them together to form a beauty dish adapter for my cheapo strobe light.

Nothing beats home-made. Except when it's about me cooking.

I like to build my own stuff if I can. DIY is fun AND economical.

I do the same if possible. Even for my dogs I made their leather collars myself. They need something solid and durable which is a rarity on the market today.

If you make it yourself, it lasts. If you buy, it might fall apart while you unpack.

Very cool Jack! Way to go buddy!

I need something a little wider than 35mm for my D750 so I picked up a Nikon 24mm f/2.8D for what seems like peanuts... I'm a little concerned about how sharp it'll shoot because reports seem to vary regarding the details. Guess we'll see.

Happy snapping with that one - let us know how you like it.
One of those is on my "I want one" list - not at the top at the moment but on my radar.
I have a 20-40 Tamron which covers that range but would expect improved sharpness from a prime like this.
That Tammy is not the sharpest knife in my drawer.

What I'd really like is a prime in the 14-18 range that's not fisheye-ish.
