Bubble = rich .. no other explanation necessary

here's what I use:

Body:
Canon 20D
Canon Battery Grip BG-E2

Lenses:
Peleng 8mm f3.5 fisheye
Canon 10-22mm f3.5/4.5
Tamron 17-50mm f2.8

LowePro Micro Trekker 200 Backpack
Canon Remote Shutter Switch RS-80N3
Various B+W...CPL & filters..

 

Pentax K10D (built in image stablization, can use any Pentax K mount lens ever made)
kit lens (18-55)

Canon A530

2x 2GB SD cards
1 x 1GB
2x 512MB.

micro sized tripod (works on table tops, car hoods, that sort of thing)

Once I get to my parents (6 hours away up in BC) I'll get my hands on the glass I had for my K1000.

All Pentax:

28mm
50mm
200mm

all manual focus, but autofocus isn't really all it is cracked up to be.

On my want list:

IR Remote
2 4 GB SD cards.
Sigma 50-500 lens (for birding).

 

ah..if you ask this question before then my answer would be different. I used Canon ONLY before the release of D3 for my wedding work. Since the release of D3, it is greatly helpful in low light condition; hence, i change to Nikon gear for all of my wedding work. Ofcourse i don't use both Canon/Nikon at the same time when i'm out making money. Can't use 2 different systems since it will be more work for post-process.

I still keep Canon for enjoyment such as birding since 500/600IS from Canon still cheaper than Nikon. I refuse to pay the premium for Nikon 500VR. Is that answer your curiousity?

 

Body-Canon 20D

Wow. Got some serious gear in this thread. I've only got an old XT and Tamron 17-50 2.8.

 

I needs a Grip and 16gb CF card

 

Definitely some great gear and talent here. We all have to start somewhere and I was in your shoes until about a year ago when i picked up a 20D. For the longest time all i had was a Nikon EL from 1972 and a 35mm lens. Got some nice shots though.

 

I've had this camera for a while now and never got too serious. Mainly because my PS skills really suck. I just take pictures of my guns, but with a kid on the way, time to setup my game.

WooHoo! I love screwing up my taxes. My return was much more than I was expecting. 40D, here I come!

Err..maybe jump to the 5D? Damnit, I'm back to being poor again.

 

can't use EF-S on your 5D. BUT 5D is really nice. You can get a used one around $1500 now. Full frame baby.

 

I only have one EF-S and that is going away with the 400.

search and wait.

You're going to update your lens line up also once you get the 5D. pre welcome you to the "L" world.

 

5D = Lesbians?

So, the question is..40D with a new lens, or 5D with current lens selection...

 

sell all of your lens and get this combo: 5D + 24-105L. You will see the different.

 

\sigh\ I went from wanting to purchase a $1K Body to a $3K Body and lens. I really should stop posting on here Damn you Bubble!

 

hehehe...you will thanks me later for pushing you now. lolz
