Some lovely pics again, Jim.
And, what’s the camera, did you say?
Luc. Thanks. In this particular instance it is a Canon 5D.
On offer: Budd EOS 5D
This very eager (eagle?) eye comes complete with a resolution of 12,8 Megapix and a moustache to match and the drive is capable of 3 pict. per second, thanks to its generous body (available in black, silver or multi-colored shirt pattern).
Professional magazine “What’s new Jimmycat?” writes: “On no ground should a keen photographer miss an opportunity to try Budd’s eye. It will provide him with a discriminating sense for esthetics. Be carefull still not to overdo the tendency to present illustrious subjects (Ackerman’s manager for instance) rather than real working-class heroes –‘cause that’s something to be!”
