More Price Drops; Canon Promo Lens Sale

Bumped into Art Samaniego of Manila Bulletin during the Nokia N82 Adventure II launch this afternoon and he casually mentioned that there’s a new Canon Lens Sale promo going on at Digital Zone. So I dropped by at dZone on the way to my next meeting.

5 Things You Need to Know About SLR Lenses

Check out this article from TheTechLounge via Digg for some basic stuff you’d need to know about SLR lenses. Something I should have read and fully understood before buying lenses left & right.

Anyway, while Jayvee & I accompanied Sasha to Hidalgo to get her new Canon 400D yesterday (which is down to Php40k now), we took some time to take pictures of the kids along Quiapo Church.

Our last stop was at the PhotoWorld exhibit at Glorietta where we got several lens filters and Gary Fong’s LightSphere.

We’re gearing up to this Saturday’s Hot Air Balloon Festival in Pampanga so if anyone’s interested to tag along, just leave a comment. I got all my gears ready for the shoot:

  • Canon 350D Rebel XT
  • Canon EFS 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6
  • Canon EFS 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5
  • Sigma DC 18-125mm f/3.5-5.6
  • Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
  • Sigma APO 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro
  • Canon RC1 Remote Control
  • Canon Speedlite 430EX

We’re also hoping we could do some photoshoot for bloggers who wants some creative shots they could use whenever they’re asked to send in pictures for interview. Just check out the recent issue of Marie Claire to see what I mean (Connie & Noemi are on that issue along with other femme fatale bloggers like Wysgal).

Drooling over some Canon Lenses

Canon Lenses For over a week now, I’ve been drooling over this Canon lens that I’m dying to get. I’ve checked out the stocks over at the digital camera store in Park Square 1 as well as the Canon store (Digital Zone) in Mall of Asia and they’re really pretty expensive — almost as expensive as the Canon 350D itself.

Still I can resist to get my hands on this one — Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM. I can’t really tell you how good this lens is but if I’d show you some of the sample pictures taken using this one, I’m sure you’d love to have one too if you’re carrying a dSLR.

Just take a look at these I found over at Amazon:

Canon Lenses

I’ll venture out into the woods (read: Hidalgo Street in Quiapo) tomorrow to take a final look. I’m going for a week-long vacation to Boracay next week with friends from Korea so I’m praying to have this lens in tow.

P.S.
The other one, which I can’t really afford but already in Markku’s crib, is a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens.
