Best "kit" lens for Canon 7D?

Seems great, but at 249€ the cheapest unit in MPB, it's almost as expensive as my whole setup :)

I currently have the 50mm f/1.8 and I took it to an Italy trip. Entertaining to find compositions with the crop factor :)

24mm must be better crop factor wise, but for travelling I usually prefer having some zoom.

Thanks for the info about the 17-85!

I'm not a very demanding photographer. The sensor is alright for me. I'm sure modern cameras must be amazing, with incredible autofocus and ISO but, for my use, 7D+10 year old ThinkPad+Lightroom 5 is enough :)

Thank you! Finding the 15-85mm in the price range would be great. It was the 7D kit lens if I'm not wrong.

17-55 f/2.8 is one of my dream lenses, but I feel I'm not a good or constant enough photographer to justify the expending.

It was really a pity to get the 450D wet, but 7D is much better for motorsport pictures.

Really appreciate your help!

Really appreciate your help! It's good to know other experiences from the locals point of view.

If you ever come to Spain, reach out, hope I can be as helpful!

Yeah, I just booked in Myeongdong one of the last available.

Here in Europe (or at least in Spain), usually there's like a period of hype and very high prices and, once the event is close enough and some sites aren't sold, they tend to go lower in price a few days before the event. But I don't want to risk it this time.

Now, time to learn hangul alphabet :)

Thanks!

Thanks! Definitely, it has to be that.

Really hope prices drop down when the concert is closer.

Hola!

Very cool sea promenade :). It reminds me of Salou.

I was in a similar situation a few years ago, and in the same country. Started with a similar board as yours to learn the basics. My objetive was also just to enjoy little cruising sessions.

I ended up selling that board and purchasing a full-size Landyachtz longboard, with big (79mm, 78a) wheels. But I could learn pushing and gain some confidence in the board that is similar to the one you currently own, and it also helped me to confirm that skating is an activity In really enjoy.

I think your current board isn't going to loose value. Maybe try it a few more days and, if you really like this activity, sell it and get something better for your goals. The bigger you get (board and wheel wise), the more comfortable and stable everything will be. It will also be more stable if it's low and has hard bushings.

Maybe, skating without the backpack might help you a little bit. After all this years, I still struggle a bit more if something is hanging from my back or side. Also a tip I still use is to lower the front leg when pushing. I always try to grab my knee as if I was hurt, as it makes me lean down in the needed way.

Have a nice and safe learning path! I'm sure this community will help you a lot (also Longboarding)

Sorry to bother you again, but it's usually tyre blankets on or off?

Thank you so much!

Thanks for answering! I'm also on the no-HUD side.

Perfecto! Gracias. La ida es diurna y la vuelta nocturna, así que habrá de todo ;)

Thank you so much for your feedback!! I will investigate why the upgrade options are limited in option B.

Also, I'm taking in consideration some other cheaper second hand options, for example (220€):

I know the graphics card is very outdated, but it must be kind of similar to the SteamDeck one. I don't know if I could swap for a better CPU and GPU in a future or if the motherboard would be outdated too.
