Its kind of hard to take a picture of my camera gear when I only have 1 camera. So I can't take a picture.
Point to a mirror and shoot

I cringed just looking at that body without your cap on it....
It was only for the photo, trust me i look after it, was off for about 10 seconds max.
I would clean it, but i fear it may make it worse!
^ Wow I want your wife's glass. GLASS, I said.
Just added this to my collection...

What a sweet lens for a hundred bucks. A D90 is also on the way to replace the D40
dont even do it for a photo dude..
What about when switching lenses? its all the same, you've got to put the camera down at one point or another exposed, picking up another lens etc.
Theres being a good owner, and then there is being OTT.
Really, if you want to be as careful as possible to take as much care as possible, when changing lenses, face the camera down (lens pointing to the floor, remove the lens and just have all caps ready to place (or lens ready to put on there).
Cleaning the back of a lens is a lot easier than cleaning a sensor.

I Always do this.
Remove Lens cap on Lens.
Remove Lens from Camera, and attach new lens
Put Lens Cap on removed Lens
Hope thats right, so the Sensor is exposed for max 5 secs, if that.
My camera gear consists of
Canon 450D/XSi
Canon 50mm f1.8
Sigma 18-200mm f3.5-f6.3 OS

Does anyone have or have used the Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L lens? I'm thinking about buying it for a walk around on my 50D.
With kit like that, you'd be stupid not to get insurance.The Toyo AII Field Camera is one of the best designed camera's I have ever had the privilege of using and is the best field camera on the market imo. I have two of them, unfortunately one of them is getting repaired right now. I was photographing on an incline and a huge gust of wind came and just tipped the whole thing over. Smashed my front standard to pieces and cracked a 1600.00 lens. Fortunately I have insurance so it only cost me 150.00.
I used to own one until I upgraded to the 16-35 f/2.8L II USM. The 17-40s are lovely lenses, probably one of the best wides Canon produce. Their only limitation is the f/4 aperture, which you may find a little limiting - but it's consistent throughout the whole zoom range.
My only comment would be that on a 1.6x crop body 17mm is no longer *that* wide. I've got a 10-22 for my 1.6x bodies, and use the 16-35 on full frame/aps-h.
