"And he whips out the Hubble Telescope from his pocket!" Love those lens, they retail about 1.5k in the states.

pinkboyo (Apr 19, 2009 at 21:23)

300mm f/2.8

Much more than that buddy

Rattsl (Apr 19, 2009 at 21:25)

Close enough, around 2 something grand I saw at wolf cameras one time...and..another camera retailer.

pinkboyo (Apr 19, 2009 at 21:27)

Rattsl (Apr 19, 2009 at 21:29)

F*CK me sideways and call me Susy...that's kinda what I expected...Cameras ain't cheap.

overdosekid (Apr 26, 2009 at 17:21)

pinkboyo (Apr 26, 2009 at 17:44)

Dude, pros gotta make a living. The lens is just a tool.

Katinas (May 14, 2009 at 13:12)

sterling is over rated fact

pinkboyo (Jun 10, 2009 at 17:46)

No.

charleyboy14 (Jun 11, 2009 at 1:24)

yeah he is

pinkboyo (Jun 11, 2009 at 9:04)

Um, how is that?

ru-the-ginger (Jun 11, 2009 at 12:21)

err, that aint a lens, it is a bazooka!!! lol

charleyboy14 (Jun 11, 2009 at 13:32)

there are way better photographers in the uk such as oliver coats les cartmell ian linton kieth valentine and so on who dont get half as much recognition

pinkboyo (Jun 11, 2009 at 13:43)

Well, thats no fault of Sterling's. He still is a kickass photog

naturalhigh (Jun 12, 2009 at 12:49)

I don't get why you're hatin' on Sterling. He's just better at getting his name out there, it doesn't mean he's better than those other guys. I say Bravo to Sterling for getting his name out there.

my dad has a 600mm f/4 that cost him around 7400 i think and it was refurbished. personally i think its a little to big for biking but it works on some courses. and he has other lens also of course.

pinkboyo (Jun 15, 2009 at 7:58)

Ain't you special?

ericpalmer (Jun 15, 2009 at 8:19)

no, but I am! Just coz my mom told me so! Razz

hahaa

dlowebiker (Jun 15, 2009 at 9:49)

im just pointing out that photography isnt cheap

thatdownhillkid (Jun 30, 2009 at 23:26)

600mm seems pretty much useless... i rarely use the full 250mm on my lens. btw... what was he shooting here? dual slalom?

naturalhigh (Jun 30, 2009 at 23:28)

If it was useless Canon wouldn't be making it.

thatdownhillkid (Jun 30, 2009 at 23:32)

useless for shooting riding though. useful for wildlife, car racing, long field sports?

naturalhigh (Jun 30, 2009 at 23:36)

Well, if Sterling is using it I'm pretty damn sure it's not useless for riding shots. You just need to learn how to shoot with it.

dlowebiker (Jun 30, 2009 at 23:38)

600 is good for races that are wide open. for instance standing on the uphill after the log drop to take some really nice shot of the log drop and even the berms above it...

thatdownhillkid (Jun 30, 2009 at 23:43)

he's shooting with a 300. not a 600. i can see it being use there. but not too many races are like that.

dlowebiker (Jun 30, 2009 at 23:45)

yeah. he uses it mainly for wildlife.

DirtRebel (Jul 15, 2009 at 12:09)

NorCalNomad (Apr 20, 2009 at 11:01)

MMMM cannon...and people hate on cannon, then why is the number one thing used at major sporting events?

naturalhigh (Apr 20, 2009 at 11:31)

I use Canon!

NorCalNomad (Apr 20, 2009 at 11:32)

Good move

ericpalmer (May 18, 2009 at 9:52)

The top 2 makes are Canon & Nikon, so either way u have a great piece of equipment, but the debate on which is better will never end, coz there is no answer.

jergo (May 25, 2009 at 8:06)

Yeah they are both great...personal perference makes the choise (=

KyleIsaman (May 28, 2009 at 15:30)

The only real difference is in the CCD's, which is why I prefer Nikon. But nonetheless, both manufacturers make great cameras.

coralcorn (Jun 10, 2009 at 20:57)

NIKON!!!

dingus (Aug 10, 2009 at 14:07)

Canon!!!

(The only reason I chose canon was because it was cheaper Razz

)

naturalhigh (Aug 10, 2009 at 18:59)

Really? I've found that Nikon is wayyy cheaper. Tell me where you get your stuff! Haha

dingus (Aug 11, 2009 at 2:06)

Got my camera from Canon's ebay store for £200. Its refurbished but basicaly new with a warranty Big Grin

It was only the camera that was cheap tho... Frown

funkedafro (Jul 6, 2009 at 13:01)

funkedafro (Jul 6, 2009 at 13:02)

200 wouldn't need a mount on it coz its lighter
