I could not go with two.


Here are my three, and the why.


10-22 USM


The best wide angle lens you can buy on a crop 1.6

I will add a plus +1 to the venerable s95. I always have it in my pocket, while on vacation, or otherwise. Single best pocket cam to date. Or you could wait for the s100 rumor, which is rumored to...

I also have 2 of his newer 67" PLM

I also will +1 on the PCB 47" octobox as you first soft box. It takes me all of three minutes to assemble, and whether I am doing a large group portrait, or a 2" tiny product shot. I also highly...

I don

One last note to ponder for the original poster.


A replacement to the 17-40 f/4L to be announced soon? Check out this link to Canon Rumors...

I do not like the 17-40 on a crop body. The 10-22 EFS, the 15-85, and the 17-55 will all give you more value. The 10-22 is KILLER for landscapes. If your most important desire is towards landscapes,...

Denise,


Have you been using off camera flash in any of your recent shots? And how many folks here use off camera flash besides Sean.


Brian

Sean,


Please keep us updated with your opinions on the sigma 30. I have had this on the radar too long now, and it will be good to hear a field evaluation of the lens, as compared to some other...

Bob,


I would take it a step at a time. Today I would buy the Gitzo 2531 tripod as the rebate is almost gone, and at 439 bucks is a killer tripod.


I would wait for the 5D MKIII, which is...

Prices are going up, get used to it.


Unless you have your head in the sand, all commodity prices are going up, and this will mean all Canon lenses will also go up. The entire world economy is in...

Denise,


One more thing. I bought the Lens Align Pro system, and after multiple attempts, under even the best lighting situations, I am no closer to a resolution, than I was 100 hours, and...

Denise,


Your experience from Canon, mirror

Steve,


A lens pen and sensor cleaner, a giottos rocket, a couple of good micro fiber cloths, and some pec pads.


Now you just need to decide where to spend the other hundred bucks.

Chris,


For your proposed 400 bucks, you can get one AB800, a HOP reflector, and then get some relatively cheap, Calumet or Monfrotto stands, and a good 30x60 Softbox. The adapter to make your...

Chris,


One last thing, give PCB a call, and you will be amazed how much time they will spend with you on the phone to make sure what you buy is what you want, they have the best, and most...

Chris,


A comment from a relative lighting newbie, with strawberries up and down my legs from some bad falls. 120 W/S lights will bum you out rather quickly, though they might make good hair...

+1 on what Sinh said.


I have wanted a 400 2.8 for some time, and it looks like a good used/refurbed piece might be in my future, cause I sure wont spend 10K plus for the new one. I wish I knew...

vizt,


I think your first choice is spot on, the 70-200mm f4 IS is about the best lens canon has ever made. It works VERY well with the 1.4 II extender, at f5.6, and remains very sharp. It would...

Americo,


If you think it is yucky, what makes you post it. And then apologize.


To what purpose is the shot. I am curious.


Excuse me if I sound out of line. And why all the different...

I cannot figure out what your focus point is, and it is not sharp anywhere in the pic. You did ask for cc

Here are a couple from last week with the 7D and the 70-200 f4 L IS, I really like this combo.

...

Bryan,


Scroll-space on any screen is a premium.


I think there is way too much wasted space between posts. I will think of each segment of each post as the "blueback posted by", the "white...

Denise


Are you in the chicago Area? If so we should get out and do some shoots.





Here is another I really like

Denise,


You are about to be flabbergasted.


I have quite a kit,as do you, and in a few short days it has become my number one.


Congrads on the new glass, and shoot the first week wide...
