At today's Demo Daze Colorado, Canon was the busiest

[14mm 2.8l]

Gotta love those demos days when all the factory reps show up with

lenses and digital bodies.

 

70-200 2.8 IS is amazing!

 

16-35 2.8 pretty darn amazing too.

 

I recently picked up an eos-3 film body and that was my ticket to

handle the great glass outside the building on my body and their 5D.

 

If you desire expensive equiptment never pass when the factory reps

come to town. I really do want a 5D and handling it before purchase

sure is mandatory. $3,299 plus tax is silly but thats where my local

market remains priced at.

 

Canon was constantly brisk.

 

Nikon usually had a customer waiting. But sometimes no one waited.

They did have Cool little stuffed animals.

 

Olympus, pentax, tamron had know one wanting or waiting info or

looking for hands on oportunities.

 

I had my Eos mount tamron 14mm I snagged off ebay 40 days ago and

stopped by to say hi. Its a great lens! And for $455 it was a great

price for a mint in box but used sample.

Awesome, i know what you mean about using awesome equipment...I went to my first PMA

this year and the Canon booth was amazing in one place i got to play with tilt shift lenses,

15mm fish-eye, ridiculous zooms and the new bodies. i went one whole day and it was still

not enough time to see all the things there.

Lindy, I seem to remember not so long ago contributing to a thread at the time you were pondering your choice of an EOS body. Glad to hear you got your EOS-3 and are, seemingly, happy with it, but now you realise what you've let yourself in for in terms of a shopping list of serious-money lenses! Interesting to know where the action was at the show, but scarcely a surprise. I wonder what a Sony stand might look like in a year or two's time.

Hi Robin, After I ebay'd up a 14mm 2.8 Tamron I paid off the EOS-3 early. I really enjoy shooting the ultrawide perspective and the tamron 14mm provides a really nice view, bright and sharp into the corners. I've got my first 8 rolls in for processing so I'll see if I understand how to use it and if the tamron compares well to my 25 year old 14mm 2.8L Canon FD mount. Eos3 is so feature rich. Far more bells and whistles than I'd need but I have no regrets finially buying an eos mount body. At todays used prices the EOS3 with the often included PB-E2 drive is a heck of a deal. I am really glad my local shop convinced me to get it.

 

The demo daze were in Colorado Springs on Friday and Saturday, not Denver. I don't know if Denver was last weekend or next weekend.
