Just bought a bag and UV filter. Will be doing some traveling soon, thus I figured a nice bag would be helpful.

My next purchases would be, in no specific order, a tripod and 1.8 50mm lens.
(Ignore the mess and my ghetto rigged TV stand/trunk)

 

Woohoo! I fixed my broken SB-24! So I'll add that back to the list of equipment haha

 

What was wrong with it?

Remember I told you the Qray was not working? Well not so much anymore lol Some times the batteries need to be shoved down a little more and that's all it was.

 

haha same deal with mine, just had to bend one of the tabs in the battery compartment.

 

just picked this up today. instaling everything now!

 

I ordered my Tokina-11-16MM today off amazon, I'm not sure if it'll work with my 5D, I didn't check when I bought it, it'll be shame if it'll only work with my 7D.

Next on my list of lenses is the 70-200 2.8, looks fairly cheap on B&H or I could pick it up used on ebay for 900ish.

 

I read somewhere it might work at 15-16mm but at 11-14mm heavy vignetting on a 5D. It's better suited to go on a 7D. Here are some links to see what it will look like on a 5D:

I know its a bit off subject but what wider lens would work, I think I need to look for a full frame lens, using that on the 5D would be pointless, might as well use my 16-35 for that matter.

 

If you want to go as wide or wider than 16-35 with zoom lenses there isn't much to choose from. You might have to look at some primes or some non-canon lenses.

 

When I get back home today from todays shoot I'll look into some fast primes that aren't fish eye.
