The time has come for a second trip to Italy, this time to celebrate Mark and Tammy's wedding in the land of Tuscany.
I decided it was time to acquire a DSLR again so that I can document our trip properly. I initially picked up a 60D/18-135IS kit from Calumet, but the price to happiness ratio was messed up and I returned it in true Ben Linatoc style.
On Craigslist one can maximize value by smart buying. What I did was buy a 30D (yes 30D) for below market price and match it with a great copy of the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 lens. While I usually stick to Canon L lenses, this lens has absolutely blown me away. It is incredibly well built, focuses generally quickly and has some of the best image quality and sharpness wide open that I have seen.
Though I may still get a 60D or 7D just for the video (if I find one cheap enough) I will definitely bring the 30D along.
Check out some of my early snaps with this duo.
I didn't realize how much I missed post-processing #sadnerd
