The Joy of Having a Pro Togger Friend...

[The23rdman]

I've a shoot next week that needs a bit more reach than I currently have. Not to worry though as my good friend, Joel, has been kind enough to lend me his 70-200mm f/2.8 L. Picking it up tonight and I cannot wait to play with it. :D:D

I'm told, the 70-200 f2.8L doesn't work well with the 40D, and it's much much better on the 50D, so you know what to do...:banana:

[The23rdman]

Don't you go all dancing banana on me, fella, just because you know I'm a sucker for them. I'm always trying to build them into website designs...

"lol" just doesn't cut the mustard :thinking:

They keep ringing you, emailing you, for help & advice and sometimes the cheeky buggers even ask to borrow your gear - still, all helps to make you feel superior :D



Here's a funny - I helped a (very scared) non-Pro mate of mine shoot a Wedding he'd been roped into a few years back. Referrals from it have given me about £2,000 in income I wouldn't otherwise have had :eek:

I like non-Pro mates :thumbs:

He's not going to be your friend for very much longer I'm afraid..... When you're absolutely skint, and have sold everything you own because you HAVE to have one, just remember your old buddy Joel whose fault this all is :D

I'm repaying him by shooting his bands gig on Saturday...as long as I get to use the 70-200mm. ;)

I already have that after borrowing his 85mm f/1.2 L. :D

I can let you borrow my 350D kit lens if you like :shrug:

Best I can offer right now, unless you have a 'thing' for Carl Zeiss/Helios/Jupiter glass like me :cuckoo::D

[The23rdman]

I'm sorted, thanks, matey. :) Cya later!

[Ste Manns]

Are you sure? It's the 'rare' non IS version with inbuilt soft focus ability and super high quality mount...
