I still think it's a good idea to start out at full soft and work your way up instead of guessing a starting point, then trying to figure out if you want to go up or down. :p

Plus, you get the "wow, even at full soft these dampers are 10x better than stock" effect.

I got distracted at Pardee's Camera today and ended up leaving with this:

Canon U.S.A. : Professional Imaging Products : EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM

:tup: :tup:

I have a 17-35/f2.8, it works very good with the film camera, but I find after the 1.5x with the DSLR, it is not quite wide enough.

Mr.onzedge, looking forward to hear reviews from you. :tup:

24-70, 2.8
16-35, 2.8
70-200, 2.8

100-400 -- this is here only beacause I got an incredible deal. It is a highly impractical lens as it is very heavy and hard to hold steady over time w/o a monopod.


I have the Tokina 11-16/f2.8, not an expensive lens but the wide angle range is the only on the market, a bit noisy cos it doesn't have motor.

Maybe add it on your next "distracted list"??? :tiphat:

Maybe I'll check it out. I am kind of a Canon-only guy, but who knows.

I will rep you when my repping is restored tomorrow. :tup:

I agree, that is the only non-nikon lenses I have, cos they don't have 11-16/f2.8 ;)

This is one of the pics I shoot when I was in Mexico using it at 11mm with polarized filter

That's ok. If I had your car, I'd still be in the garage tinkering with the TT. :tup:

Good morning guys.

I'm at the dealership for an A/C problem. While carving through canyons yesterday near San Antonio with a large group of Z's, something happened to the A/C. I found the issue after the group stopped for a quick cool-down and I noticed a green liquid pooled on top of the front lip. My guess is either a rock punctured it, or a hose, or a hose popped off during the run. Hopefully, the damage isn't extensive. Fingers crossed.

Also, I wanted to thank the guys who left the group to search for me after I lagged so far behind that I disappeared. I don't know your screen names, but I've seen your Z's before. Thank you so much for the encouragement and your help. Good dudes.

Morning guys. :hello: Sorry to hear about the damage d. Hope it is something simple and covered under warranty. To address the camera posts I have a HP Photosmart E317 5.9 Megapixels point and shoot. Do hope to get a Go pro motorsports edition. I do have a question for those f you who know go-pro. I plan to track my ZL1 2-3 times a year and run the Tail of Dragon next year. Should I go with the Hero or Hero2. I'm not much of a photo geek and don't know alot about filming or taking pics with it.:pics:

If you can afford the difference, go with the Hero 2. It's better in every way.
