Are you gonna be down here for the Grand Prix? My Bro-in-law might want your 430EX flash.

I finally ordered my set up. The 17-40 Lens is out of stock. So, I'll have to wait to get it when it comes back in. Everything should be here tomorrow or Friday the latest. Can't wait.

I went with this setup with the goodies.

- Canon EOS 50D with 28-135MM Lens
- Canon Battery Grip
- Canon EOS Speedlite 580EX II Flash
- SanDisk Extreme III 8GB CF
- Misc. extra Canon Batteries and Canon Charger w/ rechargable batteries for the Speedlite.

and to keep it all safe while I'm mobile
- Lowepro CompuTrekker Plus AW Black All-Weather Backpack

Since I skipped out on the TLi I opted out and purchased the Canon PowerShot SD780IS since it has HD Video capabilities.

However, I'm still looking and trying to narrow down the best Tripods and Filters for the lenses. Any suggestions? I've used a buddies of mine Manfrotto and he had the quick pistol grip head and it was so easy to use. Filters I don't know crap about.

Also, what are and the benefits of those Gary Fong dome diffusers? The Frosted vs. clear?

Look what I got yesterday ...

ballerrrrr!!!!! congrats!!!! stop blinding your friends with the flash hahahahaha

LOLLL you saw those comments on FB.

I gotta test this out sometime soon on some cars. Probably this weekend.

I love this lens so far.
