A used Gitzo 1220 aluminum tripod arrived today. I bought it for $100 USD shipped which included the original box. I'll be using it as my dedicated video tripod.
These Gitzo tripods are just too awesome and are built to last a lifetime.
So, here is my "new to me" used tripod right next to my CF 3 series Gitzo tripod. These tripods are just built to last.
Well, I have gone and done it again. At least the delivery truck got here before my wife, so it gives time to make up a story.
@Blacktop, this picture is for you. Its a picture of a picture of the lens I just got using the lens I just got. Say that 3 times fast.
Please welcome the new baby and the fact that you won't have to hear me say, I really want a 70-200 f2.8 II anymore. Also, I will be selling my 70-200 f4, which is in excellent shape if anyone is interested then let me know.

That is one cool looking lens! Congrats my friend!I wish I could afford to buy your older lens, but I'm afraid my buying has been curtailed for awhile! Lol

Bill took me around a year for this one, its just something that I couldn't escape as it was always on my mind. Mine will be curtailed for a while after this one.
No I haven't, raining today, go figure. I have a shoot tomorrow so not sure which lens to take at the moment seeing how I have only taken one shot with the new one. I did find some great comparison pictures today and the 2.8 does better for sure. I plan to try my normal test shot with it when the sun comes out. I could live with the F4, its a great lens but really needed the extra stop and also want to add a TC to increase the range a little.
All I have to say is I will have some serious biceps from using this thing, wow its heavy.
Ha, I was thinking 401k.... Due to my demolished retirement plan from starting up photography.

Talking about taking a plunge . . . That's a serious dive!Well, I have gone and done it again. At least the delivery truck got here before my wife, so it gives time to make up a story.

Congrats on your new baby.Randomly searching "Nikon" on craigslist as usual and saw this little guy had been posted 13 minutes earlier for $95 dollars. Emailed immediately and picked it up 2 hours later. Brand new just didn't use the camera anymore. She was from Finland and forgot to do the currency conversion so accidentally posted it for $95.
Thank you, that is just fantastic. Does it shoot Raw, or just Jpegs?
Even better, RAW+JPEG
I'm getting one for my D9300.
Since my tripod has been taken over by my Wimberly Gimbal head, I broke down and bought a second tripod. It's one of the cantilever Giottos tripod with the spiral locking system. I'm in love with it, you can do so much more with it than I ever could with my standard Giottos tripod.

But it means you will have a spare for when I visit
