My full-frame dream. A Canon EOS 5D Mark III...

Assalamu'alaikum and hi to all,

It has been quite some time that I have been wishing for a full-frame DSLR camera of my own. And my favourite of all full-frame at this publication time is the Canon EOS 5D Mark III. A camera that is being used by so many photographers especially those who are to shoot wildlife and fast-paced sport activities. 

The current (2014) specification as well as in-depth review of the camera can be found at the link below:

and here is a photo of the camera. 

It is a dreamy camera. As I am now using a Canon EOS 60D, the EOS 5D Mark III would be an excellent upgrade for me. 

It is hoped that I can acquire one and use it as my daily driver. 

Till next time, take care and be good to those near to you. Take care and wassalam.

Tamron has done it again. An multi-purpose lens for the APS-C...

Assalamu'alaikum and hi to all,

Tamron has done it again with it latest incarnation of multi-purpose lens specifically built for APS-C cameras. The new Tamron 16-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD Macro promises a taste of the wide-angle photo-shoot at 16mm while enabling photographers with long-shot photography with its 300mm long range zoom capability all in one neat package. The lens, as other Tamron's of similar nature, weigh less than lens made by its rivals mainly Canon, Nikon and Sigma.

This lens packs (again) 16-300mm focal range with stabilizers built in name VC (or Vibration Compensation mechanism). The highly acclaimed Piezo Drive motor ensure fast and quieter zoom-and-capture capability. As far as I am concern, this lens is very attractive for my personal use as I will no longer have the need to change my lens to accommodate the different photo shooting styles (close wide angle up to long range telephoto shoots).

I will be sure to look for it and perhaps, if I have the cash to spare, purchase this lens and use it as my main lens (and perhaps the only one that I would need).

Until next time, take care and have a nice day. Wassalam.
