Hi all! Well it's been a long time and I see lots of new faces here on PNWNP. I hope to be back at the photography in full swing soon. Thought I'd just pop in and say hello and see if I could drum up some camera gear locally.
I'm in the market for some Canon gear:
5D, Rebel XT for the wife, 100 2.8 USM macro, and a 17-40L. I guess I better start shopping around for some tripods as well.
So, Hi to all my old friends, Hi to all my new friends I haven't met yet, and for the moderators...Erik and Rick, go ahead, slap my hands for posting a wanted ad in the wrong forum and delete if you have to.
Mark, nice seein' ya the other day at the show. Great work as always!

Welcome back Eric! Looking forward to shooting with you again some time!
Eric,
Welcome back!. Weve Missed you here on the forum. Has for your next camera, haved you considered the D200? I know your a Canon man but it does look like a pretty good camera for the price. You could get two of them for the price of the 5D. Then you could be like Mark, my bro, Sean and Inga myself and be .
Erik, you guys are way too for me , I looked at the Nikon, seriously too, but there's just something drawing me toward full frame again. Besides, the old eyes are getting tired and that big, bright viewfinder in the 5D will be great to look through. I guess I'll just have to be un - and get the Canon.
Ned Buddy, you can't keep a great...scratch that, good, ummm, er, mediocre photographer down.
Hi Eric,
A consideration for your wife as I have a little used 10D with two lenses and other accessories. Perfect condition on all items and if interested I can give you more details via e-mail.

Looking forward to meeting you, Eric. Congrats on the recent purchases - did you get the 5D? I'm looking forward to one day updating my 20D to full frame.....
I look forward to meeting everyone and catching up with old crowd as well. Yea John, I picked up a slightly used 5D. In fact, I got everything on my original list and a little bit more including some tripods....Now, hurry up UPS!

Cool Eric.. Did I tell you I bought a 1Ds2? I did.. but then Apple cancelled it because they mis-represented the price.. Anyway, I think a 5D is in my immediate future since they are so darn inexpensive.. How's the Porshe??????

Yea, and a great camera to boot with a full frame sensor and nice big viewfinder! (well, atleast bigger than my old 10D was.

Meinst du das, oder sagst du das, nur so...? Hmmm I believe it..! faster than the 3 series I assume..?
Ya know, it's not really all that fast compared to todays cars. Yea, its kinda light and its got a good power to weight ratio but the feel of the car is were it's all at. It feels like your driving a go-kart it's so hooked up to the road and kinda raw...no power steering so you are definitely connected. It sounds pretty cool too
Faster than the 3...yes, a little. Faster than the Z, no.

The real question Erik is, does it photograph well?
hmmm.... nice, but I think we could do a better job as you're driving up rowena...
