New Kit - Unboxing

[Sean]

GOOOOD morning!

I am off to pick up my new kit this morning. I will be grabbing a 40D along with a few lenses. First will be a 17-55mm 2.8 IS and the other being the venerable 70-200mm 4L IS.

I'll post some shots of the unboxing very shortly. Stay tuned.

Here are the unopened boxes

I hope you enjoyed my unboxing as much as I did. Now for some shots!

Cheers,

Sean, before you spend this much money on 2 lenses, look into the new Tamron 28-300mm stabilized lens. the 17-55mm 2.8 is a fine lens of course....

<edit> nevermind, just saw you're going to get the 4L......lol

Good choices!!

I would love the 17-55 IS if I didn't already own the 24-70L. I know that it is the EF-S equivalent, but my hope is that I will be getting a 5D (or its newer equivalent) this summer.

OH ya. All shots taken with a Nikon S500 Point and Shoot.

Went with Canon in the end, huh? Looks like some fine equipment - congrats!

Wow, I wish I could afford going all out like that.

Trade you my 700/4L for your 70-200/4LIS

Nice selection of new toys.

Couldn't justify the cost of the switch. The difference would have been almost 3K more in the end.

Still very happy with my selection.

Well congrats on the new toy.
