no i know its not a big lens compared to like lenses used for surf photog and stuff. but to actually see someone try and sell this on NS is a little rediclious haha. espically when most of the people on here are amateur photogs and just do it fun

"his dad's friend hooked him up with some real nice gear for very cheap and he is trying to sell this to pay off the rest of the stuff"

How could this not be interpreted as his friend bought a bunch of camera stuff for cheap, then decided to sell some of the bought stuff to pay off what he bought.

K thanks.

Uhm, well I guess Im sorry for your lack of creativity?

Anyways, I feel like you should go tend to your forum now, that or pm with any of your other future problems. I guess back to the sale!

OP - Id suggest Fredmiranda or ebay, not many kids are going to buy this as they we are all about the primes and standard zooms.

Necessary? he brought up a legitimate point. I have no idea what you argued about, but your whole post is an insult to him, and his post was a sarcastic, but valid post that doesn't seem like it was meant to bitch at you. Every time i see you post you seem to not let anything go and argue till the other person is just fed up. its the internet, chill out.

I'm sorry, but how does questioning someones ability to read, not come out as an insult? Next time I see you interpret something a different way than I do, I will be 100% sure to publically question your ability to comprehend basic English. His personal attack was no better than mine.

Yeah its true I dont usually give up, if I believe I am right, why should I?

I said it was sarcastic. I guess looking back it was an insult, but regardless, its the internet and sometimes you need to realize some stuff doesn't really matter. Your arguments devolve into bashing, as seen by your answer to the post you reference. Im not answering back in this thread unless it is to help the OP b/c i don't want to get it any further off track.

Devolve into bashing? He made a personal attack, I followed his lead..?

OP - fredmiranda or ebay, anyone that might even have a need for a lens like this  has probably already commented on this thread.

oh jeez......why do people (despite) insist on arguing constantly. just let him be with his lense.
There might be photographers on this site that shoot other things outside of skiing or just want a long lense.

I was actually looking into buying this same lense last year, very solid i have heard. bump.

If I sat here and made a personal attack at you, wouldnt you want to defend yourself? Yes I the one most arguing in this thread, but its because everyone keeps on sticking their nose in and making personal attacks at me. Look back, the closest I got to starting an argument was questioning sklar if he was flipping.

This thread would be no where had random people not spit personal attacks into a conversation they were not a part of.

converters messes with quality, makes them a lot worse, increases chromatic abberations due to more elements, and closes down aperture

so usually if you can get a lense that is already meant to shoot super-tele it works a lot better
