dBlog - Nuova lente e nuovo flash da Canon

Canon EF-S 17 - 85 mm & EF-S 10 -22 mm

Sicuramente diciamo che una ottica che parte con un 10mm, anche con un fattore 1,6 e' un gran bel grandangolo f3.5/4.5 USM (circa 16-35mm equiv). Sembrava penalizzante per canon la dimensione del sensore, rispetto ad altre case come nikon, ma questa e' una gran risposta. Innesto EF-S quello della 300D e soprattutto della nuova 20D.

Si prepara un grande autunno per canon (e lo dice uno che non e' certamente un "canonista")
