Lens
Model: Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM
With a focal length range of 17-55mm (equal to 27-88mm on full-frame) and a fixed f/2.8 aperture through the entire range, this lens is one of the best general purpose lenses available. Not only has the lens a very good focal length range or aperture, it also features Canon’s Image Stabilization technology and Ring USM for very fast and quiet focusing. The only downside about this lens is the price. A whopping 7100 DKK equal to almost 1000€ makes this lens a bit of a mouthful unless you’re serious about taking some photos
