My New Girlfriend: Canon 5D with 24-105 f/4L
As if married life and fatherhood were boring enough, I picked up a little gumar (definition) on the side: a gorgeous Canon 5D and 24-105 f/4L lens.
If you've been paying attention around ExPo for a few months, I know what you're thinking: What’s the world come to? First KC bought a fridge, then Scotty B got a Mac, and now Mark - of all people! - has gone digital.
Dave in Denver is the last of the piss-n-vinegar film shooters on ExPo. (my glass is raised)
Geez, look what this stuff does to a man. Familiar with Gollum from the Lord of the Rings?
I took the advice of many shooters, saved my dollars, and held out for the 5D. The intensive thread is here. I came very close to purchasing a 30D a while back, and then almost went with the 40D two weeks ago. The 5D won for the full frame sensor, and more robust construction.
Here’s what I know so far: white balance, what a pain. But what a meaty camera! I should weigh this thing. The weight alone gives the impression that what you hold in your hand is an extraordinary piece of equipment.
Since I don’t have a camera than can shoot a digital picture of my new digital camera, you’re going to have to trust me that these came from a fancy new Canon 5D with a beautiful 24-105 f/4L lens.
I remember Pasquale with kindness when he said (ain't no lie):

I actually still use 4x5 sheet film all the time. Nice shots with the camera though

Way to Invest in your future.
But it does get expensive, hence why most photographers are switching to Digital.
