Damn you. You made me want to switch my lens now as well.

Still using a 18-55mm kit lens from the EOS 350D I bought back in 2005, it’s fine when I forget about it and just use that overly-expensive camera (back then I paid €750) for holiday snapshots. But then I want to go all fancy and it just goes “blurrp”.

I might actually just get a new camera altogether. The shutter count is probably at around 50k right now and at high speed (1/150s) it starts to take black photos from time to time. Also, the ISO only goes up to 1600 and at that level it’s super noisy, about as noisy as a modern-day Nikon at 12k ISO.

A Nikon D3100 with a f2.8 lens would be neat (and maybe an 18-105 lens for medium-range zooms for the odd time I need it).

Unrelated to camera discussion but holy fuck I am mad:

Got Abe’s Oddysee. Been playing through it. Thought I was on course to finally rescue all 99 Mudokons. Get to the end.

98/99.

Motherfucker. 16 years later and I still can’t find all the bastards.

And yet on Exoddus where there are 300 I have absolutely no problem at all.

#3044

ok, well, I actually AM signing out in a few days. For a long time. So how does that make you feel, Xaleep?

#3045

Why is that Jethrosoup?

I tried playing one of those games and couldn’t get into it. It kind of reminds me of the grub achievement in HL2 though. I think there was like 333 or something of them and I always get around 330 but have never gotten the achievement :’( .

#3049

^ That achievement was a bitch to get.

@ Jethro: Signing out as in leaving the forum?

The thing which is funny about this lens is that the glass is massive; 67mm compared to my old lenses 52. But there’s seemingly no advantage to that at all. Same performance really, and the same lowest of f3.5. It might focus a fraction faster, but that might also be my imagination. Certainly quieter though. To be honest it’s a good job I didn’t pay much more than I did. Looks bloody impressive though :wink: I’m upgrading my body soon as well, do a semi-modern D300.

#3051

Fuck, I’m gonna miss Jethrosoup (if he’s actually leaving and not just trolling)

#3052

Has anyone here played Men of War? I just saw this video with crazy ways you can kill people in it. It’s still too expensive on Steam though.

Wednesday I’m moving out of the country. I won’t have access to the forums until January 2015. Keep 'em alive, folks!

#3054

FYI: they have internet outside of the US as well.

#3055

They do. I won’t.

#3056

Where the fuck you going and doing what? Is this an army thing?

#3057

There are a few reasons it’s best for me to not go into too much detail. I’ll spill my guts when I return.

#3058

Prison.

#3059

Yep.

What kind of crime do you have to do to get 2 years in the joint?

#3060

lol

One of the moderators, tell me what I can do to earn a two year ban.
