Holy crap, the charger and 4x battery combo is cheaper than the 4x batteries by themselves!

my local's completely out of stock. apparently they're clearing out for a new version of the Eneloops coming out.

Hmmm, so that begs the question: do we snap these up, or wait to see what the new ones are like? And if they're trying to get rid of stock, shouldn't they be discounting ALL of them, or is it just the chargers that they'll be updating?

batteries AND chargers are being updated. From memory I was reading on the Sanyo website that the new ones have better charge holding capabilities and number of charges. Output etc isn't affected, they still perform the same.

Posted this on NS.com too, thought it mention it here for you guys

Hey guys, unfortunetly have to get rid of a few of my photography items if anyones interested, thought id let you guys know first before ebaying stuff

Canon 70-200mm F2.8L IS USM $2200

Canon 16-35mm F2.8L II USM $1400

both bought at camera house in Perth in august 2009, and have only seen minimal use since then :( (have receipt)

lenses in perfect condition, come with UV filters (the 82mm filter on the 16-35 cost $100!). if you put these next to a brand new lens you couldn't tell the difference :)

Ive got my first born due in 9 weeks and just cant justify this stuff lying around when I've barley touched it since moving back to VIC twelve months ago.

still got my 5dmark II and 24-70 f2.8 for baby snaps with a few canon flashes and pocketwizards. so ill still try to keep out there shooting :)

Pictures wont upload for some reason, so see this link for pictures http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=476158

Hey guys, my parents want to buy me a lens for my 21st, and I've decided on the Canon 70-200mm f4 USM. IS would be preferred, but it depends on what it costs.

Where's the best place to buy one? They've got a budget of $1k, and anything over that I'll have to chip in. I've found a site that lists a whole lot, ad they range from $1100 to $3300! (all f4, not the f2.8). Any reason for this? My birthday is in just over a week and they were hoping to have it by then.

Not to mention, I'm sooooooo excited about it :P

Jesus Phil. That is cheap as for a 16-35 II. Whats the date code on it?

Rhys - The 70-200 2.8 IS is discontinued as it's been replaced by the Mark II version. Hence the big $1000 price difference as well. You can pick up a 70-200 f4 non IS for around $1K and a IS version is around $1300-$1500 depending where you shop.

Check out BH Photo or Adorama in the states (google them) or use www.shopbot.com.au . Remember that if it's too cheap and the company has bad reviews, don't buy it. Maybe skip the first 2 sellers that turn up or research them thoroughly! It's a lot of money to spend and you don't want to lose something that valuable.

Any more questions let me know.

Cheers Kory. I found one here: http://www.praimaging.com.au/d158-56-canon-ef-70200mm-f4l-usm.html

As you said, the IS ones are too expensive :( But I'll be using it during the day mainly, so not a huge issue. Hopefully cos we can pick it up from them in person, we wont have any issues with it. Bday is on Wednesday, so pretty excited!! Lol

Jesus Phil. That is cheap as for a 16-35 II. Whats the date code on it?

Hi Kory,

the only numbers I could find on the backing plate where '1580416'

but i bought the lens in august 09, barley used :( only reason why i put it at this price is because of the price of grey imports on ebay, its absurd!

However I've now decided to put all my gear up for sale for the time being to help the financial strain of starting a family :closedeyes:

Just cant justify having it all sitting there and I have barely touched it in the last 12 months, literally :down:

it's hard to tell with out actually using it, but i'd assume that using it without any modifiers would be difficult. see how there's 2 banks of lights, there's a good chance it would create more work in post production to clean up the shots and would probably cast alot of unwanted shadows if it wasn't using properly.

Are you thinking of having a crack eric?

Well been thinking of just having a dabble. Being around you fellas and lurking in the photo thread has encouraged me to take the camera out of "AWESOME" mode from time to time. I doubt I can ever hit the levels that you fellas do, but would be nice to be able to add some tricks to the bag of photography.

Lets see how to do it in video... I know wear a blue suit and chroma key yourself back out - lol!

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
