In the last weeks, I was debating over different possibilities regarding my next lenses buying options. I had several criterias in doing so.
First I didn't want to buy EF-S lenses anymore (those lenses are for what we call "crop bodies" only.) because eventually I will want to switch to full frame digital cameras.
Second, I was in a big dilemma on whether I should buy one very good zoom or two very good primes. Zooms are more practical in any situation, but I didn't like the fact that the EF 24-70 was 2.8 only. Plus, for less than it's price, I could have the EF 50mm f/1.4 and the highly regarded 85mm f/1.8.
So I went for the second option.
What do you think?

The Make up Party
Hi everyone,
This week-end I will do another photo shoot with a make-up artist named Dimitra. It's great to know she lives near me, because it will be easier to meet and make projects together. If everything goes well, I might just have another invaluable contact in this industry.
In another topic, I want to buy another lens. I am hesitating between the sigma 50mm 1.4 and the Canon 50mm 1.2L lens. There is a big price difference between the two (like; three times the price).
On one hand I love the Canon L series. I already have the 135 and I'm spoiled by it. Also build quality is addictively excellent. But I find it a bit to long for indoor portraits. Also 1.2 is not really better than 1.4, but I just don't trust Sigma that much having read the reviews on the net. But dammit, 1.6K is so much!!!!
Though choice to make.

New pictures are up on my site!
Hey everyone,
I just put up some tests I made with friends on my website. Here is the equipment I used for the Kristelle and Max Portraits:
Speedlite 420EX on the side (Slave)
Speedlite 580EX II in front (Master)
Canon 30D
135 f/2L
17-85mm f/4-5.6
70-200mm f/4
I took about 200 pictures for the whole 3 sets, and selected the best ones. Be advised those pictures have not been photoshopped.
