Considering New Equipment

Originally I was holding out for the Canon 50D, but now that it's out and reviewed I just don't see the additional cost as being worth it over the 40D. I would love the 5D Mark II, but don't really wish to make the investment right now! 

So what I am looking at is this -- there is a Canon 40D kit, that comes with two lenses, a 28-135mm IS and a 70-300mm lens. And it is on sale until the end of the year!



Gives me some time to think about it, anyway. And, naturally, I need lots of accessories. A backpack photo bag instead of the shoulder bag I currently use, a new flash, large capacity CF card. I am also very interested in a converter that will let me use my high quality old FD glass lenses on the EF body cameras. That would be a lot of fun. 

Ahh, photography, so many wonderful tools!

I'm considering investing in some great FD prime Lenses too! I can't wait to hear what you finally decide on getting!

Hey Andrea! I've got some gorgeous FD lenses I love, it would be such a shame to let them collect dust. My favourite is the 35mm-105mm lens, it does it all. I'll let you know how the converter works once I'm all set up.

And, hi! :)

What stinkin' small world. I have a friend from Jr. high, her name is Tami (we're no longer friends). I found out that she is opening a photography business.. in fact, she launched the same week as me. Well, the name of her biz is RED FERN photography too! How weird is that. I found you because andrea has you and I as links on her blog.

Freaky.
