I can vouch for the 400d - excellent camera - which I had before chopping it in for a 40d - which is also superb, and just a little bit more versatile, especially if you like to tinker - as I do. As for lenses, I've got a Tamron 28-75 f2.8 and a Tokina 12-24 f4.0. Both are excellent for budgetish kit. I want a zoom, but will wait 'til I can run to a 70-200 Canon lens - preferably an f2.8. Do you shoot RAW or jpeg? Best, Alex Thanks for satisfying my curiosity with regard to your photographic gear.

We found Penne, Abruzzo while searching on the internet for a second home last year. And we were even more delighted with the place when we had a chance to visit it! It is not often that I have come across a website like yours that is dedicated to the Abruzzo region and frankly I am quite thrilled with it! As we continue to miss Penne when we are not there, I love to see all your postings and pictures that are specific to this amazing area! You may want to add the link to Prontobus that runs directly between Pescara and FCO airport in Rome. It is a great service, and I understand that they have also begun a service directly from Penne to Rome. So that seems exciting as well. Wishing you all the best and please keep up the great work!

The 400D is great, and I usually switch between a Tamron AF 18-250 f/3.5-6.3 Di-II and a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8. They are both super lenses for their price. I also have a Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro. I used it a lot before I got the Tamron. Again a great budget zoom, not bad for close-ups too. I just find that the range of the Tamron makes it more versatile. For those occasions when you don't want the "bulk", that 4 mega pixels IXUS can still work beautifully. It's worth nothing now, but it can take some great shots. Mostly I use a Canon 400D although some of the photos were taken with a “go anywhere” Canon IXUS 400!

Love the Piclens thing - must look into that. What camera and lenses do you use? Best, Alex Great images, and a great way to show them off too. Love the Piclens thing – must look into that.

What camera and lenses do you use?

Best,
