It's a Friday, and as I sit eating my sandwich, my thoughts inevitably turn to photography. In my thoughts this week...
Everyone says the Canon 5D I, a great camera, but needs good glass. What is 'good' glass. Presumably an 'L' is good, so a Canon 24-70 L would be 'good'. What about a Sigma 24-70 f/2.8? Is that 'good', or 'mediocre', or 'crap'?
Could you use a Canon 5D I with 'not-so-good' lenses? Would it be a halfway measure, or a complete waste of time? For the cost of a 5D I and a 'good' lens you could get a 5D II body only. Hmmm!
But then, if you need to replace all lenses with 'good' ones, are there alternative body options on the darkside to consider... :whispers: nikon?
