texaspancake Member 111 posts Joined Aug 2009 Location: San Diego, CA More info | Nov 20, 2009 02:04 | #1 The only lens I have at the moment is the 17-55. Right now I'm up in the air on whether I should pick up a UWA such as the Tokina 11-16 or a 580ex II strobe. We all know that the Tokina is hard to find these days and having a flash is also useful. So what you guys think would be handy at the moment. Should I pick up the lens or the flash? Thanks in advance

You'll get to a restaurant and the menu will say 'Texas Pancake', you will ask the waiter what it is because you were told it didn't exist. They will point to a large circle on the wall and say it's that big

It will do more for your images. UWA are vey nice to have and useful, but only you will know how much will actually use it. James Harris Photography - Weddings Portraits Events
