First L for me was my 100-400L. Fell in love with it and signed up almost immediately for my next; 70-200 f/2.8L IS II. Still have those first two, the others seem to keep coming and keep going from my modest corral.. ;D

@Ken, have you been on the wacky backy again ? This is the 'Best Landscape' thread !
Here's one of mine of Hardraw Beck in the Yorkshire Dales. All you CR guys who can't / won't shoot at anything other than wide open have got me thinking about shallow dof landscapes !

Great Stookan on the North coast of Ireland, taken from Giant's Causeway. Although I have thrown focus out in the distance you can see make out Grandmother Rock on the original - looks like a bent over old woman climbing the hill.

Canon 5D + 40mm pancake

Feel like I'm in the "300" movie. Very nice Sporgon.

The 40mm pancake is a small lens. However, this little guy plays big role in Canon lineup. I'm thinking selling my a7r + FE 55mm and replace with 5D III + pancake.

Dylan...your signature line shows that you already have a 5d3 and 40mm?

Many thanks Dylan, I was shooting for the 300 movie effect ! :)

With regard to camera sizes I find that it is the size and imbalance of the lenses that can make a dslr heavy. I was out to day on the East coast with the 5DII and 24-105, walked for about five miles along the cliff tops. That combo really gets heavy after a few hours of carry, whereas I was in the same place two weeks earlier with the same body with the 40mm pancake on and a light 28mm prime in my pocket and it goes totally unnoticed. The 6D is even better. If I go even lighter with my daughter's 1100D I don't feel any difference because the other bodies are light enough to make no difference.

That is very special.
Did you use some extra light in front on the rocks?

Thanks candyman, very pleased with your comment. I'll be giving my techniques away, but yes I carry a very light weight lasolite, five foot across but folds really small and hangs from my belt. Used the gold foil side.
