Okay, that might be going a bit far, but it does seem odd coming into a forum for the first time.
I am relatively new to photography at least digital photography.
I used to own a Kodak Brownie 127 when I was at school back in the early sixties. We had a darkroom at school so I used to do my own developing (and use it as an excuse to fondle the girls in the class).
I remember those b&w photo's with great affection and still have a few of the originals tucked away somewhere.
As times moved on I brought a Pratika 35mm film camera with a 50mm lens and a x2 adapter. Oh yes I had a light meter as well. Got some great colour snaps with that.
Anyway after a few Canon Sureshots and the like I decided to splash out on a Canon 40D. I was warned about the buying more lens virus that attacks new photographers and I caught it. I have only had the camera 6 months and I cant count how many lenses I have bought and sold.
What I have left is as folllows:-
Canon 18-55mm f3.5 - 5.6 IS
Canon 18 - 200mm f3.5 - 5.6 IS
Canon 50mm f1.8
Sigma 70mm f2.8 (dream lens)
Sigma 10-20mm f4.0
Sigma 24 - 60mm (WOW)
Canon 70 - 300mm f4.5 - 5.6 IS
Sigma 70- 200mm f2.8
Sigma 120 - 400 f4.5 - 5.6mm OS
Tamron x 1.4 adapter
Lots of filters and things..
So thats me, what I could do with is somebody sorting out all these lenses, I'm sure I dont need them all.
Kind regards to all who read,
Gordon
