|
![]() | Canon 430EX Speedlite Flash for Canon Pro1, Pro 90, G Series and all EOS SLR Cameras
Buy new: $199.00 Like the 580EX, but smaller, lighter and less powerful. Great second flash. Works as slave without extra hardware.
|

Buy new: $46.41 / Used from: $37.99 For remote release on a tripod. The 5D allows mirror lockup. There are also timer-enabled and wireless versions. Very short, so if you need distance, you'll need the outrageously priced extension.
|
![]() | Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Buy new: $444.95 / Used from: $399.00 A 100mm/f2.8 macro for "contemporary" food shots and portraits. Focuses to 1:1 (36mm field of view). Not an "L" lens. The 50/2.5 macro is lighter, but only goes to 2:1.

|
![]() | Canon 77mm UV Haze
Buy new: $28.60 UV/Haze/protective filter for 24mm; note thin design (aka "sharp cut"). Not multi-coated.
|
![]() | Canon EF 14mm f/2.8L USM Wide Angle Lens
Buy used from: $1,499.00 Number one on my wish list. Ultra wide. Ultra linear. The 16-35mm/2.8L zoom's a great alternative.

![]() | SanDisk 8GB/15MB Ultra II CF Card ( SDCFH-008G-A11, US Retail Package )
Buy new: $35.01 / Used from: $52.07 500 odd RAW images. Fast. Better price per GB than 4GB version. Is any more justification needed?
|
![]() | Lastolite LL LR81201 3/4 Stop Diffusion Fabric for Medium Skylite

|
![]() | Gitzo G1276M Magnesium Off-Center Ball Head, W/QR Platform

|
![]() | Adobe Photoshop CS2 [OLD VERSION]
Buy new: $518.94 / Used from: $259.99 Amazing, but complex tool. Better than Canon's software at extracting shadow detail from RAW files. Also comes in Mac version. Buy once, update forever.
|
![]() | Real World Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CS2 (Real World) by Bruce Fraser
Buy new: $27.57 / Used from: $4.19 Photoshop guide to dealing with RAW images. OK, and I can't find an alternative. But it's too wordy by half with far too much rah-rah-RAW blather.
|
![]() | Epson P-4000 80GB Multimedia Storage Drive, Viewer & Audio/Video Player (3.8-Inch LCD Screen)
Buy used from: $410.00 Looks handy if you're on the road. 80GB in one pound's great. I just take a notebook computer.
|
