Sameer

Sep 10, 2018 03:54

Sameer

It's been a crappy week here, raining since sunday

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:51

also even if I want to international ship something, above 300nzd there's a huge import tax thingy

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:50

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:50

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:49

I'm in new zealand, much less second hand options here :/

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:47

I totally forgot about the 85 f1.8

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:44

i know there's no such thing hence the brackets

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:43

haha i knew it would come from someone

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:41

so was looking for a perfect(for my conditions) lens

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:41

think will not serve me throughout the event

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:41

but 50mm (the best I have at the moment)

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:41

my prime motive now

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:41

I really want something that could serve me until I get some contracts and I start earning from this

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:40

and if you get a bad item in between

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:40

not that keen on selling and purchasing stuff, eventually results in losses

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:36

anybody used it!

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:36

I'm gonna jump from the 70-200 to the 18-135

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:35

@AJHenderson agreed

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:34

by a naked eye, the users wont even feel that difference looking at bot the pictures

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:33

true

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:27

the cost difference of the sigma's and the canon's are way more that the image quality I believe after watching a decent number of comparison videos on youtube

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:25

glass wise, i am thinking about the 70-200, i know it wont cover my indoor shots but could always use my nifty fifty there

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:22

sounds like a good way to make some contacts

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:22

makes sense, i will look something around me and would try to approach them

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:20

@AJHenderson yea, this can be good, i kind of thought about this for a while then read somewhere that never offer your services for free, was kinda confused after that

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:19

24-70 f2.8 is damn costly. well over my budget

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:19

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:19

"click"

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:19

until then I just have my partner to shoot

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:18

nice!

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:18

cool. Work's good. as I said, I am just waiting for some contract

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:17

haha no worries

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:15

okay. got it

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:14

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:14

what are first and third parties? kinda bounced over my head

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:12

what about the 24-105 f2.8 to 4 any good? price?

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:12

I have a 50 1.8 with me, but I wanted a lens which would serve me throughout the event without changing it

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:11

Website will be easy for me :) I'm a website developer ;)

Sameer

Sep 5, 2018 21:10

The event that I could potentially may be an indoor birthday party of kids. Confined space for like 50 people.

Sameer

@Hueco True, as you and all others are saying, should get a glass first and then think about a body.
70-200? Good for portraits + events?
or you think something like a sigma 17-50 2.8?
or anything which doesn't cost me a fortune.
