Moving some gear on

This isn't really intended to be a 'For Sale' post, but given I now have the 5D MkII and lenses to go with it, I'll be looking to move the 350D and EF-S lenses onto a good home. This isn't intended to be a comprehensive list but just as a heads up, the following is likely to want a new owner:

  • Canon 350D body
  • EF-S 60mm f/2.8 USM macro lens + Canon lens hood
  • EF-S 10-22mm f/2.8 USM wide angle zoom lens + Canon lens hood
  • EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM standard zoom lens (this is very much NOT the kit lens - read up on it) + Canon lens hood
  • EF 55-200mm f/4.5-5.5 II USM + Canon lens hood
  • Spare 350D battery
  • RS-60 cable release
  • Cheap Chinese wireless release
  • There may end up being other stuff too

Anyway, it's all in good nick and functionally perfect, with a pretty low shutter count on the body - I still have a film mindset where every shot counts and has a processing cost to be considered, much less the weight and bulk of all those film canisters.

What you really want to see of course is the new gear - well wait no longer...

In work that is. After that we fly off to Hong Kong and a weeks relaxation and sight seeing. I know nothing about the place to speak of, other than it was one of those postings I volunteered for when I was in the RAF some 20 odd years ago - my turn never came round, though I must have been the most experienced Wessex Air Communications Technician going at the time. Still, it will be interesting to see what's happened to it since the Chinese took over. Rather looking forward to having something rather different to photograph, I can't imagine it will be anything like Riyadh, or Saudi in general. It looks like we may well be dragging the laptop along with us so I may well be able to keep in touch with those who are reading along - not that anyone ever says anything in the comments...

The Hat Arrived

The Hat

This finally arrived on Wednesday and though it's really comfortable and well made, I'm not sure my face has grown into it yet. Still I'm sure both I and everyone round me will get used to it, it'll keep the sun off my rather delicate head too.

Should you want such a hat, you could do worse than look here at the same Explorer Leather Fold-Up decorating my very English bonce.
