Siggy f/1.4 is Sigma f/1.4, I think they have 30mm f/1.4 and a 50mm f/1.4. Canon 50mm f/1.4 is a different lens, cheaper than the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 I believe

Agree wif goldy...if u knw wad is ur own requirement...thn poison can be nullified.aftr i gt my tammy,thr's no more poison anymore...
Thou i like d creamy bokeh of f1.2...depends whether u need it for urself or not...

I'm there in late January for a week.

Gorillapods are good, but for the Bellagio you can use the concrete "railing" to put your camera. You need a UWA though. 18mm on APS-C aint going to work. I shoot mostly handheld. Tripod too heavy to lug around...

Anywhere to take pics? That certainly depends on what pics you want to take..... most interesting places you go (or do!), you probably don't want to take any pics at all least you incriminate yourself.... its Vegas afterall......hahahahahaha...or camera's arn't allowed anway.

If you have the time, take a drive to Hoover dam....


I used to think Bellagio has a nice fountain......but after seeing Disney's World of Colour fountain show, eveything is 2nd best.....

Considering a 40D as a backup to the Mark 2. How I wish I had enough for the Mark 1 or another Mark 2?

what so bad about that?

Of course it isn't as good as a 5D, but slap on an affordable 85 f1.8 or 100 f2 and its an excellent reach for those spur of the moment shots.

Thanks. I'll be there first week of Jan.

I checked out the street view in Google Maps and you're right... certainly require wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide and there's trees obstructing the view from the other side. What about from a higher vantage point?

That aside, probably wanna shoot the characters on the streets. 18mm on crop enough to fit an american or not?

Nothing bad about it. Happy with a 40D. But of course, a duplicate set-up will be ideal.

aih... once own a DSLR, the need to get new lens is so strong for future work...

desperate need a 50MM F1.4...

All those who say they don't want L lens n better camera are liars! It's just like how everybody wants nicer car, bigger house, more money in the bank. Don't bluff yourself la, it's bad for health. Bluff other people is ok, just don't bluff yourself.

Muahahahahahahahahaha.

hahaha that is why I never bluff myself. I am always telling myself I need that 50 f1.2, that 35 f1.4, that 14 f2.8...

"Need" or "Want" ?

Two very different things

Bleh... ptui..... I don't need or want L


I want German stuff

i am honest i want everything ....ALL as long as its free hahaha.... mali mali..... back to dreaming first...

i also wan to poison liao

If it is "want" then i won't be buying it. So I tell myself it is a need

its true that everyone want good stuff
human nature ma...
but it ends up limited by budget constraint...
if can afford sure will get those nicer wan ma...=)
btw...GT5 nice?
seems like u like it A LOT!bought it at SG rite?

how can people still say theres no poison lurking in this section!

see uncle ian's post also encourage people to buy more L lens !

sure got poison wan...
=P
when i play wif my fren's nikon d700 + 17-35 f2.8 i also terpoisoned...

go get Leica S2 lor
hahahaha

LOL!! that 1 is surely le...

but now I grow immune edi... wanna get my compo right... and my framing right like goldfries always say.... upgrade yourself before your equipment

strange that when using compact camera i feel more... into the "story in a photo part" but when in dslr all about sharpness and pixel peeping..
