Awaiting delivery...

I couldn't resist it any longer. The EOS 550d looks too good to be true so the credit card has been dusted off and I'm now waiting for the postman to knock in a few days time.

Since I'll be using the almost camera exclusively for filmmaking, I went for the body-only option and will be adding some old Zeis primes with the help of Canon AF -> M42+1 and Canon AF -> K-mount adaptors.

Contrast can be a little high with these old lenses and highlights a little more prone to clipping but I find the flatter colours more pleasing than canon's warmer EF range.

So now I wait...
