John - the first thing I would like to say is ”I’m jealous” - not of the lens, but of the view from your abode.

Superb pic

BP if it's not, it is very close - tides have been big.

Congrats on the new toy, and what a way to break it in, such a calming relaxing image... I'm sooo jealous of your lounge room view :cry:

Posted: **Thu Dec 15, 2005 8:42 pm**

Nice one John. Glad to see the view hasn't got any worse either

Enjoy,
Bill

Got to be happy with that one John bring it up with you on saturday

Posted: **Thu Dec 15, 2005 10:30 pm**

John... if you ever saw a 4.3m White Tinny with an electric motor up the front.. and a 40hp Yamaha motor on the back.. side console with fully carpetted floors and MinnKota/Humminbird Stickers down the side... it would probably have been me... im a fat prick.. and at the time.. had fairly long hair... your jetty was a local haunt of mine.. the rock reef around it holds some solid fish.. and just out from your jetty about 5 meters is a large round object with a big square cutout at the top, used to jig softplastics over the hole and get slaughtered by the monster batfish in there

Great image and nicely timed and managed love the leading lines with the 2 posts and moons rays working together to drag the ol' eyes right through the frame. Well composed John and bloody nice lens. Just ordered myself a 12-24 nikon from Birddog hope its that good

cheers

Hello Oneputt

Recently I noticed that you sold sigma 12-24 , your new toy now is 10-20, would you care to share some opinions about those two lens .I want to get a wide angle lens for my age old S2 after the holliday.

Thank
spada

Hi Spada - to be honest both lens optically appear to be very good. The only reason for the change was the difference in the physical size of the lens. THe 12-24 is a big lens, and I found the very convex nature of it unsettling. I simply could not fit all of the lens that I wanted in my bag, now I can

Posted: **Sun Dec 18, 2005 11:28 am**

Hi
Thank Oneputt, if that is only reason.., well... I should have taken the 12-24 that you sold ...Thank and wish you have a Merry Chrismas and a happy new year.

Regards
spada

The reason he does not show the house is it is a cardboard box in the park.

Cameras are kept in his high security shopping trolly.

Hey John, great shot and I'm glad you like the lens :-)

I am in love with mine.

cheers doug

PS My vote is for the 10 to 20 sigma only because you can put a 77mm polarizing filter on it.

PL on such a wide angle can give some great effects.

Posted: **Sun Dec 18, 2005 3:51 pm**

I want one lol..

I borrowed Dug's for a couple of days... damn its a nice lens!!!

Soon... Soon my prettys!

Tim

Posted: **Sun Dec 18, 2005 3:57 pm**

Spada and a good festive season to you as well

Dug - you'll keep :wink:

NOT AT THIS RATE I WON'T:-)

I always think of the John Lithgow line from the terrible Stallone movie "Cliffhanger"

"So you want to kill me? Get in the queue!" PS Trivia; Sylvester Stalone so is scared of heights the movie was shot and edited so he was never more than 6 ft off the ground.

the only time he was on a mountain was for the publicity shot when the photographer persuaded him to be dropped on a pinnacle by helicopter.

He was roped into place and secured by about 6 climbers.
