South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

Sorry to hear that. Pretty sure I developed the needle bearing vibe today. Got gas pedal vibes at 55. Glad nothing bad happened with the lost brakes.

 

I went ahead and did the needle bearing before I got that vib issue.
I limped the truck back home and literally when I backed into a parking space, the brakes quit so the curb stopped me. I don't know how the brakes would be affected unless the pads/calipers were collateral damage. I took the wheel off on the side of the road to see what I could see, and there were small, cylindrical pieces that had broke off of something, behind the caliper.

 

That’s a good starter pack for sure. Think I paid 500 for my Cannon T3i several years ago and it only came with the 18-55. I have recently purchased the 75-300 lens and a 50mm f1.4 and it is by far my favorite of the 3.

 

I like my 75-300 so far. Keeping it steady at full zoom is a challenge tho haha. Need a tripod for those shots.

 

100k miles for $40k. No thanks.

 

Lots O hwy miles I assume which is better than stop and go.

 

late TBT!!
"96" or "98" if im not mistaken

 

Judging by the stone wash jeans and the awesome jacket...

I’d say so.

 

Morning, folks!

 

Morning y'all! Friday has arrived!

 

he was so patient about letting the charcoal get ready!

that was ^ sarcasm ^

 

Its Friday and its not raining

 

You looking for a new truck?

 

The same goes for SC. Long guns no problem. Handguns need to go through FFL. Technically...

 

I got my T3i body only and bought a 18-200mm lens for it. Also got a 50mm and I think I've used the 50 a handful of times. It does make it easy if you're only trying to snap a quick shot and don't want to futz with zoom and all that and the f1.8 I got is nice. T3i model is 8 years old now but still a very good shooter.

You got a smokin deal if you only paid $500 for it with a kit lens. I paid $550 body only and another $550 for the 18-200mm.

Body (since discontinued and only available used as 'body only')

$699 USED Canon 18-200mm F3.5-5.6 IS EF-S

Lens (price has since gone way up)

 

Oh wow. Yeah we bought the kit from Target, also came with the camera bag. One thing I’ve learned about lenses is it all depends on what you’re wanting to capture. Lol. I like depth of field so my 50mm f1.4 makes it super easy to capture.

 

Morning all! I see summer is definitely NOT back yet..... hahahaahahjaaj. Another camp this weekend with scouts and we will be cold af.....!

 

Its also the glass the stock lenses are ok for everyday family use but if you want better photos getting better glass helps a lot. I'm running a 28-105 f4.0L and a 17-40 F4.0L I'm still shooting with a 5Dmk1

 

I bought it in 2013, so maybe the price hadn't gone down yet since it was still relatively new.

I like the narrow depth as well, makes your target really pop!


@EricL you definitely get better products by piecing your own parts together, kit lenses aren't typically very good quality. They lack good glass and sturdy components for auto focus but they aren't terrible. You really get what you pay for in cameras but honestly the expense to quality ratio really takes off the higher you go. You pay a ton more for parts that are only marginally better. I think any highly rated DSLR even an entry level will be way better than your phone in terms of quality of pictures. Just a matter of weeding through the options.

I haven't looked at cameras in years and my little T3i is getting very antiquated in terms of features.

You're on the right track looking for a DSLR instead of a point and shoot. DSLR will last you much longer before you feel the need to upgrade, and new lenses will really broaden its uses compared to being stuck with whatever the point and shoot comes with.

BTW, I have a 32GB card in mine, I've had thousands of full quality pictures and never come close to filling it. Card write speed is most important especially if you're trying to capture moving objects with burst shots.
