Canon Lenses

August 11, 2008 By: marvin Category: Stray Thoughts, Tutorials, Geeky Gadgets 19 Comments →

I’ve been using a DSLR for a while now and I have to admit I just might have a little case of LBA (lens buying addiction)
My lenses
(Saber saying: Stop buying Lens!)
my list of lenses/lense include, Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM, EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM, Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS, EF 50mm f1.4 USM, EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Macro, EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM, a Lens Baby and of course my EOS 450D’s Kit lens the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS which I loaned to a buddy of mine.
Bower Wide Converter
(Figures and Gundams agree with me, this shot glass is a steaming piece of carp fish)
I also have a Bower Wide Angle Converter, which I picked up from a shop while going around Fisherman’s Wharf,  San Francisco. this lens however is a piece of bantha foodoo. but will get to that later.
