  • new bag for my camera

    I bought a new bag for my camera. It is a Lowepro SlingShot 202 AW It has nothing to do with photography , only trying to make things easier to carry and hopefully it will keep the material unbroken …. I fell for the way it “slings”. In one simple movement the bag is from my…

  • Canon lens 50 mm 1:1.8 II

    Was delivered today …. and I did some tests ! First photo was made to see the DOF with F 1.8   Than the same situation with F 22 …. I’m sure it’ll be used for some great bokeh and maybe even some portrait’s (although I’m not an enthusiastic portrait photographer).  

  • personal message

      This is the personal message my employer had in mind for me this X-mas ….  I used the enclosed gift card to buy a 50 millimeter Canon lens. Although it’s not made with glass, I expect it’s good enough for my way of photography in “available light” situations. Thank you employer for your gift card!

  • Camera is back home again !

    Replacement of Electronical Circuits seemed needed. Now I can use X-mas to make photos and eventually get back my trust in the camera. And everything under warrenty ! So now I can use a better DOF again, that wasn’t possible with the bridge-camera I have, the Powershot G12.

    The final resting place of my analog cameras …..  looks familiar ?

  • new parts have been ordered ….

    “new parts have been ordered” That’s what they told me when I asked how the situation was with the repairs of my camera. I wasn’t able to speak with the Canon specialist himself, but a guy at the customers desk gave me this information. I can just hope it means they found the cause of…

  • a matter of taste ….

  • techRepair again

    The 70D is at techRepair again. Hope they can reproduce the failure this time. They gave me a cap to keep my head warm ……

  • all systems dead …

    I came home from work today and tried the Canon 70D, just to see what it would do …. It did nothing ; all systems dead. The battery was 100% charged. techRepair asked me to sent the camera to their repairshop again …. “Graag wil ik u vragen om het toestel retour te zenden zodat…

  • reproducing the error takes time

    It’s easy to reproduce the error, just have to use the camera for some time and it reveals itself automatically !  Canon 70D sucks …… Sometimes it doesn’t recognize the battery, sometimes it doesn’t do anything at all and sometimes it only recommends to clean the lens contacts. I became the World Champion Lens Contact…
