The combination of a new tax year and generous rebates from Canon prompted us to add more equipment, mostly adding to our backup equipment and getting ourselves ready for the upcoming weddings this year.
2x 1TB Western Digital Pro II External Hard Drives – FIREWIRE 800 rocks!
2x Lexar FIREWIRE 800 Compact Flash Reader – this adds to the two I currently have. I can now simultaneously download 4x compact flash cards at once, really important when I normally shoot about 12 to 16 CF cards a wedding…
Canon 5D and grip – Another backup camera. With all the rebates from Canon, this should come out to around $1700-$1800, a bargain compared to $2600+ last year. Canon is gearing up to introduce the next generation 5D, rumored to be this month. Can’t wait!
Canon 70-200 F2.8 IS – 2nd one. A great (and extremely heavy) lens, but a must for any wedding photographer. Now, both Peggy and I can have this fun lens to shoot with, no need to fight over it anymore!
Canon 24-70 F2.8 L – Lovely images, beautiful bokeh effects!
Canon 50mm F1.4 – (not pictured) not here yet, extremely shallow depth of focus, should make for some great effects
24″ monitor – the second monitor
2x PocketWizard Plus II – I want to introduce more off-camera lighting in my images this year
Tamrac 614 Bag – 2nd one, with 4 cameras and up to 10 lenses, this is desperately needed
Canon 580EXII – 3rd one (not pictured)
