In the Crumpler 5 Million Dollar Home (which I affectionately call a man-purse) I managed to pack in:
- a Canon EOS 40D
- a Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM
- a Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM
- a Canon 430EX flash
- a Cactus V2s Trigger and two Receivers
- a lenspen, blower, and a couple of CF cards
Here are a close-ups of the major stuff:
The 30mm is my everyday lens. Solidly built, it was a step up from the standard kit lens. The f/1.4 maximum aperture is also quite useful in low-light situations. The downside: the really shallow depth of field at f/1.4 can make accurate focusing difficult.
I love this lens. It's a great portrait lens, what with the 85mm focal length and the f1/8 maximum aperture. The bokeh is really nice, too. It's also very quiet. What a difference USM makes!
I've been experimenting with off-camera flash the past couple of months. And I still have a lot to learn. Here the 430Ex is pictured with the Cactus V2S wireless receiver and stand.
And that's it. Those are my toys. I'm eyeing a wide-angle lens, a second flash, and some light modifiers as future additions to my bag (which I would soon outgrow), but not anytime soon. I haven't mastered shooting with these yet. :)
