FedEx vs. UPS
Published by easymovet on Thursday, May 17, 2007 at 13:32
So i frequently have to pick up packages from UPS terminal because i miss the drop-off, it's usually no problem, i just call them up and ask them to hold it for me.
This happened with Fed-Ex today, and they told me that it wasn't possible to pick it up! I pushed on, asking why i couldn't go to the terminal after the driver returns, she said she would have to ask the terminal, so i got the number and they were much more helpful, saying that i should call back later to see when the driver is back, but that all drivers return by 8pm and they close at 9pm so ultimately i will definitely get it.
Get what yo may ask, only the coolest lens in my (extended) price range: 18-200mm f3.5-5.6 DX VR2 ED AF-S IF G, yeah all those letters actually mean stuff:
18-200mm: Focal length its 11.5x zoom
f3.5-5.6: Size of the aperture.
DX: Size of the projected image will cover a APC Sized Sensor ~1/1.5 size of 35mm
VR2: Vibration Reduction Two, allows shooting at 4 stops faster, take that Canon IS (3stops)
ED: Coated glass equals less chromatic distortion
AF-S: Silent constant fast focusing, allows instant manual override with ring)
IF: Internal Focus (doesn't get much longer or shorter to focus and doesn't turn front element)
G: Conveys distance info and other stuff to camera.
Wow, some quotes from Ken ~ "It's a miracle!", "8-200mm VR is more than just a new lens. It's changed the way I live and make photos." totally hear you Ken.
It focuses down to 20" at 200mm, thats right infront of the glass at 200mm!! Macro for free! with VR that means still insects will be sharp! Stay tuned for images.
I got mine from Ritz, i ordered it 2months ago, they had issues with handleing paypal and then visa, weird, but got it right in the end.
