If carpentry fora are like photography (gears) fora
For the lol. And not untrue, sadly. Ken Rockbuster is such a huge idiot.
On a related note, I cancelled my 5D3 preorder, really happy with my 5D2, I MF 95% of the times so better AF doesn’t affect me that much. Also, the new pattern, while better, still isn’t ideal for portraits.
Stowa Flieger Type B Limited Edition with ETA 2801 movement
I have a Stowa Flieger incoming, it’s the Type B dial with ETA 2801 manual hackable movement and display back. Estimated delivery is mid-May, that’s a 5-month wait! At the official Stowa forum, someone started a thread called See a Stowa in Real Life before you buy – thread for details of people willing to show their Stowas. A couple of PMs later I found myself having drinks with 2 SF members. I also got to see almost the exact watch I ordered, got to tried it on and everything, it’s an amazing watch, and it’s relatively inexpensive compared to most other brands with an advertising budget, I can’t wait to get it.
A couple of snapshots of the No. 09/33 FOLE:
These were shot at high ISO and handheld, a lot of them were at unsafe shutter speed. The crazy image stabilization on the 100L is really amazing.

They look very impressive.
My biggest gripe about the 5D2 is the AF pattern, looks like they’ve fixed that in the best possible way, the GPS accessory is also nice, too bad it’s an attachment and not built into the body. Most likely I’ll be getting an 5D3. I’m not shooting professionally anymore, and I’m actually really happy with the 5D2, so not in a huge hurry to upgrade. (That said, I’ll probably jump on Amazon pre-order as soon as that’s available, pretty easy to pick up a freelance photo gig to pay for the upgrade. 🙂 )
Update: Pre-order now available on Amazon. I just pre-ordered one.
Ming Thein’s new blog
@mingthein started a new photography blog about a week ago, awesome stuff. Let’s hope he keeps it up this time. It’s easy to start, but not easy to blog regularly. 😛

DigitalRev’s Panasonic GF3 Hands-on Review
Would be nice if the X100 can focus as quickly as the EP3 and GF3.
