    WTB - Canon Lenses for College Photography Student

    Well, my son hasn't expressed much interest in longer lens yet. On a side note, he went to Joshua Tree the other day and decided to smash his new 35mm lens into a rock. Wasn't wearing the sling properly. Doh!

    Gen 3 Cooper at 3 tires

    Superior tread pattern (in my opinion), more durable sidewall, more advanced blend of rubber and silicon, resulting in better wear while maintaining traction and pliability. There's a lot more size options and availability too. I would also argue that BFG has superior quality control, but...

    Assistance with trip planning Mojave Road and Gen 3 Specific

    Don't go around. Afton water crossing is one of the rare opportunities in SoCak to experience a water crossing and it should be embraced, not feared. It's simple, it's the basic rule of off roading: Go as slow as possible, but as fast as necessary. In this case, you just need to watch the...

    Gen 3 Cooper at 3 tires

    My experience regarding Toyo's verses Coopers is the opposite of what PA_Jaro and others are saying. Specific to Cooper Zeon LTZ's, they were soft and pliant due to high quality silicones used in there compound, withstood 40,000 miles of serious off road use on a heavy vehicle (LR3), never...

    Also, the portion of trail just east of Afton Canyon is soft sand. You'll want to air down to increase floatation, which means you'll need the ability to air back up again when you hit pavement. Your stock Gen 3 will do great on the Mojave Trail. It was literally made for it.

    Assistance with trip planning Mojave Road and Gen 3 Specific

    The trick to water crossing is very simple: gentle steady throttle pressure. You want to go slow, but fast enough to maintain headway. What you want is a bow wave, pushing ahead of the vehicle, but NOT up over the hood.

    My one foray into non Canon lenses was with a Tamaron. The IQ was great, but the focus ring rotated the wrong way from all other Canon lenses and I often missed a shot because I twisted it out of focus due to that wrong-handed operation. Do Sigma's match Canon on focus ring direction?

    Scored a few deals after diligently looking. Got a nice F1.4 50mm and a cheap 35mm (used off Adorama), and got a nearly new 5D MkIII off POTN. He's stoked and putting it to good use already.

    SOMMETCON Built By Rebel Off Road

    If this is for sale (which is not actually indicated), forum rules state you must list a price. If it's just to show that you can build a cool Jeep, well then, mission accomplished!

    The old 1999 build thread
