Anyone that follows this blog will remember earlier this
year I posted a sort of New Year’s resolution in terms of my photography. In
that post I had a plan for the camera gear I was aiming for…. Well that post
can be completely ignored and here’s why:
Not so long ago an online company called Studio22 was
holding a competition to win a full frame camera. All you had to do to enter
was make a purchase from their shop, and post your invoice number to their Facebook
page. Fast forward a bit to July the 10th , and I get a call from
Kurt (the owner) saying I’m a finalist in the draw, Shortly after I had won.
So here it is, my new 6D body:
New (free) Full Frame body means time to splurge out on some
nice glass so shortly after getting the 6D I went and get myself a Canon 85mm
f1.8:
Pair the 6d up with this piece of kit and you get this:
I might do a full review this lens sometime as well as the 6D.
Lastly I got myself another Speedlight (one can never have
enough of those things). This time I got a Yongnuo 560II.
The major difference between this flash and the original 560 is the LCD screen, which is a nice addition.
On the cards now are some new light stands ( namely the Phottix
p-200), an IR remote, another Phottix Soft box umbrella, another umbrella
bracket and best of all, the Canon 50mm f1.4!
Lastly I’d like to thank Kurt and all the staff at Studio22. They are a friendly and helpful bunch. So go check them out:
