I’m selling both my 420EXs and my ST-E2. I rarely use flashes at all, so having this stuff sitting around is a waste for me. I also was traded a 580EX II (and cash) for my Leica so I’m keeping the 580II and selling all my old flash gear. I’ll have these for sale on […]

Panasonic announced a new P&S I’m very interested in. It’s the Lumix DMC-LX3 which is an update to the LX2. The LX2 is the pannasonic version of my Leica D-Lux 3… It’s improvements are LESS MP, a LARGER sensor and a 24-60mm f/2.0 lens. So I’d lose a tad on the long end, but I’d […]

I love bags, but hate “camera” bags. The best solution I’ve come up with so far is to use any old messenger bag, and toss some Domke inserts into them. The bag I’m using now is a Zoo York messenger bag I picked up from WhiskeyMilitia.com for $13 shipped. It’s not as basic black as […]

I finally broke down and ordered a wireless release. Not really sure why I needed one, but I’ve always liked the idea. It was ~$40 shipped so not too bad and arrived in 6 days (ordered 6/5, received 6/11) from Honk Kong. I bought mine from “John Camera Store” on eBay. So far it looks […]

With the sale of the 1D, I purchase a 40D. I feel it’s a better second body for me. I owned the 1D because I’ve always wanted to get into sports photography (skiing, sailing and snowboarding). To me I needed a 1 series because I needed to be able to do sequences in order to […]

If you’re looking for those visit the links on the right. This blog is basically setup so I have a place to store my galleries […]

The time has come to sell my 1D. I picked this up used when I sold my 1DmII because I felt that I “needed” a sports camera. Part of me has always wanted to be a sports photographer (skiing, snowboarding and sailing) so having a sports specific body is nice. I shoot it occasionally for […]

I’ve decided to sell my 24-70L. It’s a wonderful lens and I’m torn. I’ve been shifting my preference towards primes lately which is a huge factor. I also only want 2 zooms for when I travel and having a UWA zoom and a tele zoom make more sense as they don’t overlap. This has been […]

I picked up a canon 16-35mm f/2.8 L II today. I’ve had a 17-40mm L for a while now and it’s a fantastic lens. There are 2 reasons for the 16-35 though; it’s one stop faster, and it’s 1mm wider. That doesn’t seem like much, but I’ve noticed I’ve been shooting the fisheye a lot […]

Well I picked a new lens today. I’ve had a canon 28mm f/1.8 for a while now and I’ve been unhappy with it’s AF. I picked up the canon 24mm f/1.4 L to replace it. It’s a wonderful lens, but it’s much bigger and heavier. The focus is lightning quick and the IQ is amazing, […]
