Don't worry--I'm not selling Dixie dog. She's just the perfect model for me to try out my new equipment on! I just received my new Canon 50mm 1.2 lens in the mail yesterday and I'm so thrilled!! I borrowed this lens for the last two weddings from generous photographer friends (thanks Jared & Kelvin!) and fell in love with it. Up until now, my 50 1.4 lens has been my most-used and most-versatile lens so I'm thrilled with the 1.2 for the extra stop of light and beautiful glass it provides.

Dixie is in desperate need of a bath and is on the shaggy side, but of course I still think she's the most adorable dog EVER. Here's a few more puppy parts using my new toy:
Both of my 5D camera bodies have been in the shop recently for different issues. They've both served me well over the last 3 years and have been extremely reliable for how much I shoot with them. So a tune-up is expected every now and then. As a professional, every couple years it's time for a new camera, so I also just today, received my brand new Canon 5D Mark II in the mail! I've heard great things about this camera and am so excited to take it out for a spin soon.
I've already sold my 50mm 1.4 but am putting one of my 5Ds up for sale as well as my 85mm 1.8 lens:
I have 2 5Ds and I don't care too much which one I keep since it will be for back-up purposes only. The only difference between the two is that one is more used than the other. One has about 60,000 shutter actuations and the other just got a brand new shutter box assembly, mirror box assembly and battery box assembly. So even though it was previously more used than the first, it is now as good as new. With the new shutter it will have a shutter count of zero. The 85mm 1.8 is a very lightly used lens that is in great condition. If you're interested in either of the cameras or the lens, email me at melissa[at]melissajill[dot]com.
