Been looking for a cheap second hand DSLR for a few weeks now, so I could keep the 150-600mm lens on the D7100, and have a camera+18-105mm lens handy.

Spotted a good deal on a used d5100 (body only) and it arrived today, just put my 18-105mm lens on it.

I'm very happy with my D5100 and while I keep looking for a deal on a D7100 I cannot pass up there is nothing wrong with the D5100 and as long as it keeps working I'll keep using it. I adore the articulated screen. It has become my wife's camera and she likes it's size and weight.
Recently picked up a D90 as part of a package deal. Having taken it out for a couple of trial runs I'd rate the D5100 as better. The D90 has the top side display which is nice. But it will become our back up and rough use camera.

Enjoy that D5100.

Tokina 11-20mm f/2.8 DX...
Oh, and PS... The gold strip around the lens is starting to peel off in the first hour of use. Tsk!!
Sashina

As long as the coating doesn't peel off of the glass, I wouldn't fret. In fact, I sometimes wish a couple of mine didn't have the gold bands. Maybe I could/should take a black Sharpie to them!

My 2 front teeth cost me 10 days off work and a price tag of $1560 Canadian and it wasn't even Christmas :(

Ten days, Kevin? Wow, I didn't get nearly that much time off... It may not be Christmas, but make sure you keep the new ones around for a lot of Christmases!!! I hope you're doing a lot better by now.

I bought this cheap Dejur 35 2.8 off ebay for $33.75, seems the quality is ok.
It has all metal built, smooth focusing, crispy F-stop ring, and it has the feel of a Minolta MC lens.

Here we go again..... another NON Photographic Purchase.....

Ups dropped off a large box yesterday..... Feels like Xmas in May!

Upon opening, I found my new Ham radio, an auto antenna tuner and interface cable!!

The radio is a new Yaesu FT-991, I call it a "Shack in a box" in that it calls ALL legal ham bands...
My Dual Band (VHF/UHF) is in for repair and I was actually looking for a backup. I tend to like redundancy (2 camera bodies, 2 motorcycles etc)
I could not find the one I wanted (discontinued) and was not that impressed with the other available dual bands. It got me thinking, what if my HF rig died??? So, after a lot of research decided on this setup as it covers all bands and all modes. I needed a tuner for the other HF anyway so bought that at the same time.

And.... here it is operating last night, and I really like it!

Time to join the HSS revolution!

I was going to get the Neewer in a HSS Kit on Amazon but the triggers within the kit will only sync to 1/250th so the flash will do HSS but the triggers are useless so I brought the flash separate with the triggers that will HSS

My purchase has arrived! I had a bit of a scare though, half way through the day I got an email saying they attempted delivery but failed as no one was in, I found this strange cause every other Amazon delivery driver has left everything at my house, from a PS4 to Batteries and a charger to a lens with no problem.

So I quickly got onto the Amazon app and changed the settings to say I dont mind it being left in a safe place, half an hour later I got an email saying that the package had been left. Got home and there it was.

Happy Daz!! Cant wait to get out tomorrow night to do some HSS Shooting!!
