10-20mm lenses are good for just about anything (except anything requiring a long zoom, obviously).

They add instant epic to most photos (as well as that distortion).  :grin:

Too true lol. I havent got a massive amount of kit and not the most expensive but added up it isnt a cheap hobby. Once youve got the kit you are set for life really. But its just getting a good collection

I've decided on a zoom lense 70-300, some new triggers and Yongnuo flash, stands and brollies.

But that lot will wait due to the new car.

£ to joy ratio is pretty f*cking good actually.

Always delighted when I can use my kit for work, which is quite often.  :cool:

Went into the local narcotics resale unit today aka the local camera shop.

There's a second hand TS-E 24mm for £699.  The guy's selling up because he's retired.

I can easily resist the 200mm super-fandango L-series lens for £1999, but I'm going to struggle with the TS-E, although the price needs chipping down a bit.  :grin:
