[Joey D]

I've been looking for this and finally found it at Meijer of all places. It's pretty much heaven in a bottle sent from Canada. God Bless you, you genius Canucks.

 

[Terronium-12]

Drunkard.

 

[dice1998]

For my friend's bday.

 

[Flamedogg]

Oh man... O_O

 

[F1 fan]

Jehuty with the vector cannon. That looks great. I may buy one of those for myself.

A while ago I sold all my DSLR gear and got something a little more nimble and practical:

It was a limited edition kit that came with the beautiful but awkward 35mm f1.4 lens:

Times were good and we got along very well, taken some wonderful pictures over the past half a year.

However, I knew I needed to let this camera out of it's cage and into new horizons, so I've been on the hunt for some new glasses. Lately, I went on vacation to Japan and while there I took the liberty to look at some second hand camera shops. To cut to the chase, after some serious discussions with my bank account mostly taking place in my heart, I brought back 3 new companions for my Fuji X-E1.

Zeiss 50mm f/2 Planar T* ZM, in mint condition

Zeiss 21mm f/2.8 ZM, practically new still in mint box with warranty

and the very rare, Canon FD 85mm f/1.2. condition 9/10

This is going to be a very fun year...

Ordered a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 4G N7105 in Titanium Grey along with a 32GB Class 6 Micro SDHC card:

 

[Tornado]

Picked both of these up for a song from someone at school who needed money fast. He never even opened Saints Row.

 

[Speedy6543]

Got some work to do on my bike tyres now.

Get the 18/2, it's a fantastic lens. Hardly leaves my X-Pro 1. I do want that ZM 50/2, although I might just go for a Summicron since it'll stay on my M4 anyway.

 

[Venom800tt]

Went on a bit of a buying spree the past week or so...

Pre-ordered these two:

All the r/c car crap has been installed (dunno if it is really worth taking pics of), while all the other stuff has yet to arrive. Will probably get pics of the rest of the stuff when it does arrive.

*EDIT*
Forgot to post this Proline Racing Jeep Wrangler Rubicon body I got for my Axial SCX-10 1/10 scale r/c truck:

^ Had to paint it myself. Might mod it with more lights and such later...

Also, a random impulse buy:

^ Academy 1/48 scale Lockheed-Martin/Boeing F-22A Raptor

Dr. Martens Men's Sussex Boots size 12(fits my 10.5" feet strangely enough) - $80:

Nike Air Prestige III(Basically the Nike Dunks 6.0 from 3 years ago with added air in the heel) Sneakers size 11.5 - $70:

Both great shoes and I'm loving the Dr. Martens boots. You can run in those boots and don't even think that they are on you.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Limited to 3,000 copies. Pre-orders opened 30 minutes ago and the site crashed immediately. Was finally able to place my order when it came back up after 20 minutes of down time.

The Infield couldn't talk me down.

 

[dhandeh]

The Infield couldn't talk me down.

Quite right too.

 

[Solid Lifters]

Cool axe, bro! Congrats!

 

[Omnis]

Quite right too.

Are you saying I made the right move?

[bluemoon_19]

My current speakers are getting a bit hit or miss as to if they are going to give me any bass. So I ordered a set of these

 

[Dac_Xint]

Thanks for the recommendation, I've played around with one in a shop before, although the quality of the glass is excellent, I'm not too keen with the autofocus of these cameras. I'd rather get a manual lens and save the battery on these things. Hence the Zeiss 21mm f2.8

 

[TB]

My son has his quarterly appointment in Minneapolis on Tuesday so the kids and I are headed down Monday morning for an all day outing at the Waterpark of America.

They don't know yet so keep it between us...

Oddly enough, a package of 6 tickets and 6 meal vouchers was only $36 more that the three tickets I need. I figured that $36 for lunch and supper was pretty cheap and if I can sell the three other tickets to someone else, bonus!

Takers?

One Dollar, Bob!

FootSmart Men's 3/4 Length Leather Arch Insoles - $19.94 w/ Shipping:

Need the arch support for my work boots I bought yesterday. I was standing for more than 10 minutes today and felt sharp pains from the joints of my toes(Where they connect to the foot) down to in front of the heel. I know so far I don't get the problems from the Nike shoes.

 

[TB]

One Dollar, Bob!

You make it to Minneapolis on Monday (my Monday, not your funky future Monday) and I'll give all three of them to you for free!

Went to Walmart for some groceries, came home with this, mocked by my wife, worth it.

 

[bluemoon_19]

I was in on those cash converter type shops yesterday and got this. It only cost like £5

 

[Powripper]

This for about 25$

My reasoning is explained in the confession thread :S

 

[Jet Badger]

Seven of these.

I've been shooting runway models yesterday for London Fashion Week with the 18mm in varying light (both backstage and on the runway) and I never really ran into problems with the AF:

I have the M-mount adapter for my XP1 but I rarely use it, just isn't worth the hassle when the native lenses are so good. Although you really should buy a film M-mount body (if you don't already have one), that Zeiss is a great piece of glass on full frame!

 

[Dac_Xint]

Whao, thank you so much for that follow up, I have yet to move to film. But I do have the intention of getting a full frame in a year or two, and I would strongly consider a film Leica that are easily found in used camera shops at great prices. I'm going to slowly build up a collection of prime M lenses. Going to check out your webfolio now...
