Finally I upgraded my photocamera, moving from the EOS 500D to a EOS 80D. A new lens has been added to my gear, a wide angle Sigma EX 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 HSM DC.

I am quite happy about the performance of both, the 80D feel very solid, it has a wider ISO range, better definition and more setting than my previous 500D.

It’s Heavy and more bulky, but I don’t mind at all. Furthermore is weather sealed.

The Sigma 8-16 is a 13 year old lens, without IS and with a f/4.5, that require a bit of effort when shooting. But after a bit of practice and confidence can provide good results, with a 121 degree angle of view, perfect for landscapes.

To old and carry my gear I had to upgrade my bag too, recycling an old tool case found on Facebook marketplace and adapted with protective foam and some dividers.
