Hehe Canon 50mm f1.8

[fadingaway1986]

I have just bidded on one on ebay... $125AU. I checked out an Australian retailer and theirs are $161. Not a lot cheaper, but still good. (And there are no bids, ends in 2days)


I found out I have lots of work next week, and two days are public holidays, so I will have lots of money. I know I should be saving all my money to pay to go to TAFE, but hey... I want a new lens.

Invert, I go. Freak. :scratch:



:greenpbl:

 

[fadingaway1986]

hehehe.

I like a band called invertigo - they actually broke up 3 years ago now though. But I am still obsessed...


so therefore - I am an invertigo freak. Also, freak is a silverchair song. I also like silverchair.

For an early Christmas gift, I got a 50mm f/1.4. Love it.

Great to here that you got a 50mm as well, it is an excellent purchase, and lots of fun to use.

Just tell her it's a small ammount compared to the 1.4 lens... :lmao:

 

[fadingaway1986]

lol - good point


I found out I was gonna make $760 this work, so I thought I should put some of it to good use (the rest will go to my TAFE fees, and I will probably lose $200 of it to tax anyway)

 

[fadingaway1986]

I won! I won!

I transferred the money over. Probably won't show up in their bank until wednesday...

I asked for express post, so should be here hopefully thursday. Maybe friday
