It ate my P7 and Benelli! :eek:

4 guns left.

[mtnbkr]

Which lens is that, I can't quite identify it from the picture.

I'm resisting the urge to buy more glass. I have a 24mm, 50mm, (both Nikon) and a Phoenix 100mm Macro that actually delivers good results (passable macro, good portraits).

Godzilla! :what:

Or, is that 'Godzirah!' :D

[Psssniper]

Could you post a better picture?? ;)


Long time no see Skunk, hows everything?

[itgoesboom]

Thats the Nikon 70-200 2.8 VR. Nice Lens.

Godzilla!

Or, is that 'Godzirah!'

Actually, it's not all that big. Want to see big, check out the 600 f4. :neener:

Ok, that was funny. :D

[TechBrute]

Skunk is still bitter he can't have an AR, so he leading the revolt by selling all his guns and buying camera stuff. :neener:

We had better see some good pics, soon. ;)

[scbair]

Abandoning guns for cameras still won't save you in CA!!!
First the EBR . . . :rolleyes:

then the SUV . . . :eek:
next, the SLR ! :what:

[Harry Tuttle]

i prefer my big glass in canon tactical taupe

:p

[Burt Blade]

I had several Cowboy guns on my "must acquire" list, such as an Uberti-made Winchester 73 and a takedown Winchester 92.

Now I have a Nikon D70 digital SLR.

So I completely understand the "Japanese glass ate my guns" bit. And now I have two competing shopping lists for accessories.

[Cacique500]

What a funny looking tactical scope... :eek: :neener:

[CB900F]

Fella's;

Back, way back, in other times in other places, I bought camera equipment. Soooo, let's see, all Nikon, 28mm f3.5, 50mm f1.4, 50mm f2.0, 135mm f2.8, and 300mm f4. Then there's the bellows, the slide duplicator, the lights, the etc, etc, etc. All 35mm film.

Now it's all quite dated, but still works & takes excellent pictures. I can buy more bodies, lens's, etc. at very modest cost also. I don't post pics on the web though. When the techno-computer-weenies can make instructions & procedures as easy to understand as 35mm photography, then perhaps I'll do it.

However, my point is this; I don't believe I'd sacrifice my guns in order to upgrade or aquire more of the latest in photo equipment. Particularly in Kali. A person could wake up some morning with a new wonder camera & the headline of yer fav blogger would say: "Dude - no mo guns for you".

Velly nice :) The old one touch I've used has been good, only two vacations to Melville in 10-12 yrs or so.

[chris in va]

Just for the hell of it, take a picture of that lens on one of your handguns. :D

[gulogulo1970]

Photography, and the camera gear that goes with it, are my second favorite hobby after guns and shooting. I'm a Canon guy, myself, but you can't go wrong with fast Nikon glass.

Now get out there and take some pictures!

I want a Nikon D70 nearly as much as life itself...

[Flashpoint]

I want a Nikon D70 nearly as much as life itself...

Me too Justin, me too.

[Bayou Boy]

My brother has a D70. Last week he got a Sigma macro lens. Check this out.http://MidnightHour.smugmug.com/photos/22790315-M.jpg

There are more here (http://midnighthour.smugmug.com/gallery/515359/1/22790315)

Justin,

You'll love it. Cameras are another money pit. I have way too many, including a bunch of medium format, but my D70 is used more than any of the others. Just superb, for the money.

[fredcwdoc]

The D-70 would be an even better camera if the ISO could be set lower than 200. I've been using one since they came out along with others.

[TechBrute]

My idea of japanese glass:

[Schiessuebung]

Skunk, isn't that a bayonet lug on the bottom of that thing?:eek: Is that legal in CA?

[Skunkabilly]

Techbrute, what make and model scope is that? What's the magnification?

[moredes]

Hey Skunk,

Rong time no hear (or is it, 'here')? :D My guess is it's a Nightforce 50....watch him blow me outta the water.

[TechBrute]

Ding ding ding... Nightforce 5.5-22x50 NSX

[Skunkabilly]

That's nice...but I still want an AR! *grumble*

[TechBrute]

Well, I'm building up an SPR with a Nightforce 2.5-10x24 NSX. AR plus japanese glass... will that do for ya?

[BigG]

Shouldn't that be "Japanese Grass?" :D

[Skunkabilly]

BigG, ROR!!!!

How I wish the Japanese made 1911s.

[cidirkona]

Hey, maybe if I had one of those lenses and a nice camera, I could take better pictures of these: :D

[Skunkabilly]

I'll trade you.

[cidirkona]

Hmm.. I'm pretty sure that'd be illegal, besides, I love 'em too much!!

[buzz_knox]

I bet Larue could make a quick detachable mount for that.

[Dr.Rob]

Yeah that doesn't look like a Picannty rail (sp?) or a STANAG mount... some kinda new Euro-modular system or what?

[dsb]

That is one heckuva nice tactical scope Skunk - is this kinda how it works? :)

[lwsimon]

I hear you Skunk... I haven't been able to buy in a long time, I bought the D70, 18-70 kit, and a 70-210 push/pull. Next is a 24-120VR, then the 70-210 f/2.8VR. Damn japanese!
