Well, the 135L sold quickly which allowed me to order it’s replacement(s)! I didn’t use the 135L all that much, but I did enjoy it’s speed for it’s length and the idea of using it as a travel tele (we haven’t been traveling a whole lot). I’ve also owned a 85mm 1.8 at one point […]

Yep, I’m selling my 135L. I know I know, I’ve said I never would, and I’ve paired down my lineup with this lens as my travel tele (selling my 70-200 f4 IS) but the fact is I just don’t use this lens enough to justify keeping it. I’ll be replacing it with something similar, but […]

I’m selling the Kata. I just haven’t used it much really. Basically, it’s bigger than I need because I want to carry a 100-400 on my body. To accomodate that, kata went with a thicker bag to also accomodate 1 series bodies or griped smaller bodies. There’s also a ton more room in the top […]

Yes, I’m retracing my routes with this one was well… I originally bought the siggy 12-24mm when I had my 10D knowing a 1Dii was in my near future… It’s the go to wide prime for the 1 series IMHO because that body needs full frame lenses and the 17-40 and 16-35 lose enough of […]

yeah, needing to UL this obviously means I had to use it. My BRAND NEW sigma is/was front focusing slightly (by 1cm). So I went through the process of adjusting it in camera and it’s great now! I’m at +10 which might be a tad too much actually. When it was at 0, the back […]

Well I’ve been working on another DIY bag project lately. I’ve used nothing but shoulder bags for a long time now, but with the lenses I’ve been carrying around they aren’t ideal all the time. So I’ve been wanting a backpack/sling bag to help distribute the load, but keep my gear within a quick unzip […]

Well I got a bit crazy this past week and sold off my 50mm 1.4 and the 100mm macro I’d traded for my 20mm 1.8. My canon 50mm 1.4 was a good lens, it’s just that I’ve heard great things about the sigma so I figured I’d change things up a bit. Basically the sigma […]

I can’t believe I don’t have a post on this yet? Anyway, this is the holster bag I ski with. It’s not perfect, but it’s really good. The strap system sucks, but not bad enough I’ve replaced it yet (which would be pretty easy). It works as needed.

This is an idea I’ve been playing with for a while now. I use X-pro cokin filters and they don’t have a a 10-stop ND available. Actually, no one does. So I took some plexi, got it cut down to the right size and took it to the local tint shop and had them put […]

I finally broke down and ordered an off camera cord to help me learn flash. I went with a Chinese knock off over the canon because of the price. Because it was so “inexpensive” I also picked up a few other things from dealextreme while I was “there”. The tripod head is an “inexpensive” knockoff […]
