[h0ughy]

well look at what SANTA is sending me for Christmas (http://www.dwidigitalcameras.com.au/store/product.asp?idProduct=1955&utm_source=getprice&utm_medium=cpc) - though he is only sending it tonight i may get it for new year.....


how did the big fella know just what i wanted!!!;):lol:

[iceman]

Nice Dave. I need something in the 10-22 range.. but can't afford it now so it'll have to wait :)

[troypiggo]

Whoah, that's a great price too! Looking forward to some ultra-wides with that beast.

[h0ughy]

LOL well i couldnt afford it either, it was that or the deck for the observatory..... i have more chance of using this than getting the other in the next few weeks ;)

my goal - to get some star trails over Newcastle/Lake macquarie and maybe a storm:D

cant wait for it to be used at the next star party:)

Looks very nice David – Merry Xmas!

This looks like it produces rectangular images on APS-C sized cameras rather than the full 360 degrees?

Cheers

Dennis

[h0ughy]

yeah - 167 degrees for the canon - i am looking forward to it

[RB]

wohoo congrats and nice pickup Dave.
Looking forward to seeing the shots !

Now, time to upgrade the camera......:whistle: :scared3:

[h0ughy]

yeah load me that 7D of yours will you

Hi David,

Looks a great buy.

I've had a look around the DWI website and they seem to have some great prices. Canon 5DII for around $2600. Have you bought from them before? I presume, though I'm not sure, that their prices include Australian GST.

Cheers
Neale.

Hi Neale,

Just be aware that in their Terms and Conditions (http://www.dwidigitalcameras.com.au/help/terms-and-conditions-of-use-and-sale.asp)they state that:



You may be charged an import duty on top of GST by the ATO, so you need to work out if the final cost of grey importing is actually cheaper than buying locally.

I think Houghy is safe because his item is less than $1000 AU.

[Cloudyagain]

Thanks Andrew,

I thought it was too good to be true. :(

[RB]

If you're after a 5D II check out D-D Photographics. (http://www.d-d-photographics.com.au/)
I was thinking of upgrading the old 5D to the new 5DII but I just bought a 7D from a friend, who works at another camera store, for a bargain price so the 5DII will have to wait.

They are currently listing the 5D II's for $ 3225 full price plus delivery.

Its a special effects lens? With curvature? Think I need to get a good WAngle for my new Nikon D90 first - any suggestions?

[h0ughy]

with this lens it gives you a full 180 degree view for the nikon. try a 15mm lens?

[acropolite]

You'll love the fish Dave, I've got a 15mm Canon for my 5D, amazing lens. Make sure to keep your fingers out of the way.
