Got a "new" tool in my toolbox. EF 500 f/4L. Inspired after trying same model at Østensjøvannet earlier this month, an upgrade "became" necessary. Thanks to friend and photographer Geir Solberg for making me realize that I just had to invest in a new tool..... :)  Thanks to my father supporting me, and making it possible! Buying used photography equipment is actually quite fun. Makes you meet interesting people, that you never would have met otherwise! Thanks Torstein Bergem and Prabakar Venkataraman :)
Tried out new tool in my backyard this afternoon, scarring my neighbors....... :)
