I also, own the Sony a6000 with both kit lenses and utilized this package during my vacation in Spain, France and London. I was very impressed with its performance, light in weight, portability and it offers the functionality of both video and stills. It was a last minute choice not to carry my heavy canon equipment during this trip.(5D Mk3, 5D, 60D and Canon 70-200 f/2.8 L, 24-70 f/2.8, 135L f/2, 50L f/1.2, 17-40L f/4, 24-105L f/4) But, it was the right choice for me.
Very nice and so vivid was a ND filter used in these shots?
I spent many years touring balboa park, the zoo and wild animal park in San Diego, beautiful place..
I always use pay pal. give that a try?
is the 5d still available?
Spike, I have no idea! New Species of Mushrooms and your find you get to name them.. Just keep them away from the curious teens and pets...
I utilize both zoom/prime depends on the desired product. I recently purchased two canon lenses off my wish list the canon 50mm 1.2L and the LORD OF THE RING 135mm f2L, I plan to do some street shooting
in the Boston Garden (Ice Rink/Fog Pond) and the Haymarket Square area of Boston, Ma this weekend.
Thank you all for your input and it seems the 50mm f/1.2 is winner, I will keep the nifty fifty let the wife us it on the crop 60d. Thanks once again...!
I currently have the Nifty Fifty from my very early years of shooting. I am torn between the 50mm f1.4 and the Monster 50mm f1.2L used mostly for portraits, weddings and some street shooting. Have always heard to play big or stay HOME, regarding the cost of the (f1.2L) I have also, rented the (f1.2L) for a wedding and was very impressed with the outcomes.
What version due you use and why?
Hi Longshadow, yes the canon ae1 was a great learning tool, given trial and error my pics finally cleared, no fingers over/under exposed. Once I got the hang of the exposure triangle, lol
Wish you and yours a Happy Holiday!
You’re so, right. Have packed gear to take some Holiday pics of friends Grandchildren while visiting tomorrow. Have a Great safe Holiday.
Hi Lev29, I take portrait, Street and some landscape pictures. My tools are the Canon 5DMK3 & 60D crop. Lenses 70-200 f2.8, 100 f2.8, 50 f1.4, 24-70 f4 and Tamron 150-600 f5.6, Just to name a few..
I am also from Ma area residing in NH upon returning from the service, couldn’t afford to buy there!!
What’s in your arsenal?
Hello All, I have always enjoyed taken pic, catching people wearing their best smiles. During my time in the US Navy the canon AE1 was my trusted side arm capturing, some amazing frames of my travel abroad and adventures of me with my shipmates. I share those photos on social media sites with them.
My interest in photography is still burning strong, but sometimes life is too busy and The opportunity to shoot doesn’t always present itself.. So, just hoping that maybe sharing ideas and laughter with other that share the same interest. May kick the tires and start the fire of the hobby I once enjoyed..
