Thanks for the welcome to the VR club...

Can't wait to get my hands on this baby.

[MCWB]

Ahh VR lust. With Xmas coming up, I suspect I may have to cave in to such lust tomorrow.

[christiand]

Jee, it is so tempting to get the "little" VR lens.
Birddog: do NOT send the lens to me, I repeat do NOT send the lens.
Thank you again so much for making available to us these great toys
at great price.

Nup... I have promised the Missus: No more lenses until I finish my PhD or make money from photos...

But I telll you, at that price, shortly after one of those two happens I will be buying the VR as a walk around lens

[Glen]

Congrats Woody, with Mr Poon's great service you will probably have it before you get around to borrow the 50mm. I think the 24-120 is a great range and a bargain entry to the VR club

[PlatinumWeaver]

or make money from photos...

Sounds quite familiar...

[phillipb]

Hey MHD
If it gets you in on a technicality, I will gladly buy a photo from you, any photo for say $10, unless of course you have specified how much money you have to make before you can get another lens.

Christiand, will try your technique "Birddy, do not send me a 200-400VR, do not send me a 200-400VR". Will let you know if it works

[christiand]

This is unfair !
Really, there are so many temptations !
Gee I have to constrain myself.
And Mr Birddog is not making it any easier.
And the thing is: what you resist persists !
What a challenge.

Cheers

Well done Woody - I am in a pickle - can’t decide on the 24-120VR or the wide angle 12-24mm. The way I see it the 24-120 would be a good replacement for the kit lens (so sell it) - 12-24 covers the low end and then just the 70-300VR to cover the lot. Got the 105 macro already. . .

Cheers

Now you see where I'm going.

50 1.4
24-120VR
80-400VR

Next on my list is the 12-24.

[fozzie]

Woody - well done.

Yep,

Welcome to the 'VR' club. Many happy campers there, and others welcomed.

hehehe you sound like one well versed in domestic politics...



No, after NZ I will be making more of an effort (registering a business name etc...)

That is excatly what I was thinking. I have enjoyed the kit lens but I always seem to be searching for that little extra zoom.

Now I have it and VR to boot

I think the next purchase would be the 50mm or 85mm for portraits.

Cheers,

Then I feel very proud to be sitting on an MHD original (Birddog gave me an A4 print of your challenge 1 image).

I will hang it with pride on my wall untill you become famous and then sell it

If you're heading down the commercial path MHD, share your experiences with us - I too would like to start looking into the possibility of making dough from this, for justifying this expensive hobby and perhaps avoiding getting a "real" job, but have been too lazy to investigate the how's and the what's.

Enjoy your entry to the VR club Woody.

I use my 105 macro for portrait shots - good sharp lens and it works for me.
