New Camera Lens and Flash

Posted by: Mike Murray 1/31/2006

My old Sony DSC-F707 on EBay yesterday. I've needed to do that for some time. So now it's gone. Today I purchased a Canon EFS 17-85 F4-5.6 lens. So far I really like it. It has USM focusing (it auto-focuses in milliseconds) and an Image Stabilizer. The stabalizer in the Canon lenses works different than other cameras. It stabalizes in hardware rather than software. It actually has one of the glass elements connected to a gyro. Very cool stuff. I'll probably take some pictures and post them on-line in the next day or so. This lens is at least three times better than what I was using before in the kit lens.

I also purchased the Speedlite 580ex flash (picture). This thing is a monster with remote RF triggering, integrated laser diodes to assist in focusing as well as back panel LCD screen that shows what it is doing. Canon really has it together with their pro gear. The quality of pictures I get out of my 20D are incredible.
