Back in the UK, and my hired 24mm 1.4 is waiting for me. Wedding tomorrow, bokeh here I come!!

 

[Cup_Phil]

Who do you hire lenses from Dan?

I really want to rent out a 70-200mm f2.8 before I spend £1600 buying one lol

 

[adele_90]

Cant decide on these two

Well my first choice was lensesforhire.co.uk, but they didn't have any in stock.

So I tried two other companies, lensfettish and lenspimp.

Kooky names I know! Lenspimp had one in stack so I went with them, arrived yesterday. Looks brand new! Had a play with it today, amazing lens.

Thanks mate - I'm heading over to north wales next month to do the WRC - really fancy playing with something new

EDIT: Wow! £90 for a 70-200mm 2.8 IS II with no deposit for 7 days. That seems too good to be true!

 

[-Jason-]

Surely no deposit = bye lens?

Is 200mm going to be long enough for you Phil? Or have you got a TC also?

What do you mean?

 

[Wick]

I primarily use my 70-200mm f4 for track stuff and love it - I just wish it had a better aperture so I could use it for portraits and stuff also.

Plus I'm selling my 70-200mm at the weekend to fund some car bits lol

 

[Ben]

Really like those Wick.

Here's what I've just done, excuse how noisy it is

41 / 52 - Elnup Bokeh by d35ign, on Flickr

Not having a go at anybody's photography skills or anything, but there's not a whole load of what is considered real bokeh in this months submissions. Technically I know it's still bokeh, but in my eyes bokeh is more than a shallow DOF / blurred out of focus backgrounds.

My Entry,

 

[.Adam.]

Because I have a pauper lens I think I'm giving this month a miss.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]
