Default 30D + 70-200 f/2.8 L - New Pics On Page 2



Yesterday my 'street' was blocked by thousands of Germans visiting the annual flowermarket here in Groningen, but today a red van from TPG Post turned up. And he handed me:
- Canon EOS 30D body
- Canon BG-E2 Battery Grip
- Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8 L USM

Yup, I'm a happy camper.

She is a beaut Martijn ...

I am also thinking of a 70-200 f2.8 lens for Nikon instead of the all-in-one 18-200.

wow, you + the magical F2.8 make for a real nice combination of photography! F4.5 has nothing on F2.8 the focus is extremely sharp!
