Few pics of my “old” lenses

Equipment

Since I decided to buy a new body and replace my Canon EOS 400D with the newer Canon EOS 40D I decided to take a few shots of my “old” equipment.

Canon EF 28-135mm 3.5-5.6 IS USM with lens hood EW-78BII extended

Canon EF 28-135mm 3.5-5.6 IS USM with lens hood EW-78BII

Canon EF 50mm 1.8 MK II with lens hood ES-62

I am still thinking of keeping these lenses but I do not know if I will still need them since on my shopping list currently I have the following:

Canon EOS 40D body
Canon EF 17-40mm f/4.0 L USM
Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM – soon…
Canon EF 135mm f/2 L
Canon Speedlite 580EX II
Canon Speedlite 430EX – soon…
Light stands
40” Reflective umbrella
32” Silver reflective umbrella
32” Golden reflective umbrella
Synchronizers
A good bag to carry all this in one place
Bag for the light stands

Since I am running on a tight budget and this equipment nearly costs as much as a small car I do not know if I am going to buy all this at once so… I think I will keep my old lens for a while I never know what might come up. Update: Got a few things from my shopping list, the others will join my gear in a month or so. I sold my old 28-135 IS to a friend and I have few more $$$ in my budged.

O. in the dark

Photography

Here is one portrait of my dear brother I took while he was playing the guitar (yes he plays it too…) the poor boy was so surprised when I pulled my gold reflector in front of him and my camera snapped. But all in all it was a good shot.
