From December 28 I will be in Los Angeles. Where is it cheaper/better to rent a car for a couple of weeks? Maybe a Jeep Wrangler. I heard that insurance can make the rental cost 2-2.5 times more expensive, should I get it and which one?
I plan to visit San Francisco, Las Vegas, and Page. In other words, probably no less than 2-3 thousand miles.
This is how to make family albums!
Yesterday, I heard an example of psychedelic classical music on Orpheus radio – Symphony No. 1 by Schnittke. It was Schnittke’s birthday yesterday. It would have been his 80th, so they played it. It’s not easy to listen to, it’s okay in places, but in others… listen to a short excerpt for a taste)

Fellow photographers, which lenses for 6D would you NOT recommend for 6D (full frame) – list below.
Please consider two points straight away.
1) There are budget constraints – if by replacing a lens worth, say, 15 thousand you suggest a lens for 30 thousand, then it’s not a replacement for me, but rather delaying the purchase for at least half a year to a year. Better to suggest an alternative from non-official brands, if there is one.
2) If you have anything bad to say about lenses – please clearly indicate whether it’s based on your experience or someone else’s. I trust your opinions more 🙂
So, here is the list IN ORDER OF IMPORTANCE FOR ME:
1. Canon EF 50mm F/1.4 USM portrait prime (~11000) or CANON ER 50MM F/1.8 USM (~4000)
2. Wide-angle Canon EF 20mm f/2.8 USM (~16000)
3. Telephoto Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM (~20000) or Tamron SP AF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 Di VC USD Canon EF (~13900)
I currently have the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM

You may congratulate me on acquiring a Canon 6D + Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens 😉 Next week, I’ll be testing morning sunrises in the mountains of Kazakhstan
I want to buy a Canon EOS 5D Mark II Body + Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM. I’m racking my brain. Or a new 6D?
I somewhat regret spending extra money on the “5D Mark III.” I don’t want to downgrade to the 60D – I’m aiming for full-frame bodies. Currently shooting with the old 40D. But now I’m considering the 6D. Maybe go for it? It has some differences – new Digic 5+, features like wifi, gps, hdr. Only 5 thousand more expensive. Is it worth getting? Or the old reliable 5D Mark II?
And it also bothers me that the 5D Mark II was discontinued in 2012, but it’s still sold on the market, there is a choice among stores.
Does anyone know good parking spots near the Expo Center? Paid parking is fine too; it’s important that there’s space available during the peak times around 9-10 AM when crowds gather at the Expo Center.
