Pamir Offline Upload & Sell: Off
|
Hello all,
Got a bit busy with unexpected schedules. Anyhow, I read and re-read all the comments. Quite helpful to re-look at and reassess my needs, and wants. Here is what I might settle on. I think I will go with Canon older version 24-70 2.8 Mark I + 16-35 Mark II and sell my 24-105. My 70-200 F2.8 Mark II is on its way -- keeping my finger crossed for a good copy or else. Adorama offered two B+W filters with this purchase, looks like a good deal (B + W 77mm Circular Polarizer Multi Coated Glass Filter and B + W 77mm #102 0.6 (4x) Neutral Density Glass Filter). The reason I want to sell 24-105 is that indoor portraits is not sharp, but outside it is really sharp. Although 24mm in 24-70 is wide enough for many, many situations, but I believe it cannot offer the drama and "wow" factor of 16-35. Stitching is a great proposition and technique and I will entertain it, but on the go and crowded areas it is a bit challenging, specially for me.
Now, I have to find a good used copy for 16-35 Mark II and particularly 24-70 Mark I. Would appreciate ideas where to find them and what would be a good price. Today Canon offered refurbished EF lenses, but for the second time I am not receiving their email regarding this sale. When I do, the "good" lenses are all gone. It happened on Cyber Monday as well and I even called Canon, but to no effect. IMO Canon does not have an efficient, streamlined customer service.
Once I leave, hopefully I will be able to post some photos with descriptions. This country is full of history and I hope I can capture some and share it here.
Once again, thank you all for the great ideas, comments, suggestions... This site is very helpful and quite fun to read.
