More gears!

Somehow before any vacations, I had to spend more on my photography gear. This time i bought 2 lens & GPS geotagging device.

During this coming summer vacation, we are planning to do a bit of traveling; so i bought a geotag device - Gisteq PhotoTrackr Lite. I've been experimenting using my Garmin and Nokia E71 for geotagging my photo but the process was time consuming. Maybe i'll do a post on this item later.

I've sold my EF-S 10 - 22 because i'm using 5D Mark II more often than the 30D, the choice for wide angle is between the 17 - 40 f/4 L or 16 - 35 f/2.8 L. Based on my expected usage, I've bought the 17 - 40. Actually the main factor was the price; it was almost half of the 16 - 35!

Rather than saving the difference on the price of the 1st lens, i spend it on a 50 mm prime. I've tried the 50 mm 1.2L and the 1.8 version and decided to get the 1.4 version.

Some photos taken in low light.
