Friday, January 26, 2007Cameras for wildflowers
It may be a little early (okay, more than a little), but I've been thinking of the upcoming wildflower photography season. The temptation to go SLR this year is strong. I have no complaints about my little digital point and shoot Pentax Optio, but that's not my idea of a macro camera. I want all the macro goodies, like being able to stop down for better depth of field, maybe even a depth of field preview button, mirror lock, a serious flash and, of course, a primo macro lens.
In typical Joanie fashion, I started out browsing the Leica page, starting with the new R9 and the 100mm macro. Nothing like buying a camera outfit that is significantly more costly than the car I drive. I'd say my priorities are right where they usually are. When reality returned, I turned to the new Canon Rebel Xti and the Canon 100mm EF macro. Now this I could afford - if I skip lunch for a few months. Not a problem. Look out wildflowers, here comes Joanie! Comments: |
