Canon 5D Mark II

I spent lots of money over the weekend.  On my new set of camera and gears.  At first I was wishing to buy a second camera just to have my long lens ready for shooting along with my old camera for standard lens shooting.  I went to this fotofile.net shop and talk to the sales guys at the store about the features of the new camera.  I was eyeing for Canon 50D.  

I guys shown me both the 50D and 5D MK II.  Of course the MK II is a much more fancy in term of full-frame capture and the processing of colors.  The price is also twice as much.  I did the trading on my existing 70-200 f4L USM lens that I bought over 2 years ago but rarely use.  I got quite a good number as I bought it for 20,000 Baht and sold it for 15,000.  I also traded my EFS 17-85 standard lenses for 9,000 Baht (I bought it for 12,000 but heavily used it.)

Anyway, I bought back my Canon 5D Mk II, 100-400 f4L IS USM and a 24-105 f4L IS USM lenses.  Now my set is perfect.  I have two cameras as I wished for with lenses to cover from wide angle (10-20) up to 400 mm.  The only thing that I don't have is the art in taking photo.  My next move is to attend a photo class workshop.  Too bad for a weekend spending lots of money on this little hobby of mine.
