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Rhys - The 70-200 2.8 IS is discontinued as it's been replaced by the Mark II version.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!

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
