Whenever I hold an L series lens, I know Canon was the right choice for me! I started taking photos with a 300D and subsequently owned a 350D, 30D and 40D. Now, I am a happy owner of a 5D mark II. I have used many different lenses over the past few years but I have now managed to reduce the set to what I consider as the ideal one: 16-35mm/f2.8L, 50mm/f1.4, 135mm/f2.0L and 70-200mmf4.0L IS.
At the same time as switching to a full-size sensor with the 5D, I also started shooting in RAW. The main benefit of RAW is that it carries 64 times more information than JPEG (14 bit vs. 8 bit). As a result, not only colours and tones are much more accurate, but post processing – e.g. change of exposure – can easily be done without affecting the quality of the photo, something which is not possbile with JPEG.
I hope you will enjoy seeing my photos as much as I enjoy taking them!
