Hi mate, my 7d never died it has just been neglected

I freed it from its bag the other day and also the lens that came with it that I never used, the Tokina 19-35 F3.5/4.5. I already had the Minolta 17-35 F2.8/4 lens and never felt the need to try the Tokina.

Anyway I took the camera and lens for a walk through town and had some fun.

Still a great camera to use, mine has the vertical grip fitted so a large beast compared to my newer cameras, also a noisy fellow to as the mirror clunks away as you shoot. Still for web viewing the images still look fine.

I hope my 7d keeps running for a few more years yet as it fun to give it a spin every now and then.
