So, which one of you is sleeping on the couch? |
Let's just consider it a "Get out of Jail Free" card I'm keeping in my pocket. |
Time for some new glass?? |

Haha, no. My wife knows there is more than just her standing between me and L-glass. 10 years of medical school, residency and fellowship taught me the principle of "delayed gratification". So while my next lens is likely to be the 180mm f/3.5 macro, it isn't likely to be within the next 6 months.
Plus the "value" of this card goes beyond material things. Wouldn't I feel dumb if I blew it on a trinket when it could come in real handy when I do something really dumb...

Around here "delayed gratification" is something that happens when I do something really dumb... |

People laugh at me when I tell them I dont remove the cards on my Canon for just this reason.

And I was chastised on another forum for putting a firewire reader in my pc instead of using the USB card reader I have. People tell me I'm nuts but instances like what happened to the good doctor tells me I'm mostly not. At least about this! |
maybe canon will convert to SD or some other more robust memory media in the future - CF media is, afterall, aging. |

My 1DMKII uses both. So I can load one of each in it and select which one to record too. 2GB in each one will go a long way even with raw.

I have no idea. Even worse, my wife appears to be the culprit so I have even less info. I confirmed that the card only goes in one way. Maybe there is just enough wiggle room that if you slammed it in there with sufficient torque or force you can tilt the card just enough to catch a pin. |
Just a guess....it wouldn't fit the right way, wouldn't fit backwards, bit it did "fit" sideways? |
