“This a really good all-round lens to take if you’re going on holiday and don’t want to pack a bag full of lenses. The other lens that gets a workout on Jules’ camera is the EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM.

In fact, she sold it to fund the purchase of her EOS 5Ds, which is her workhorse and favoured for landscape photography. Well, that 60D she originally owned is long gone. Jules now writes and photographs for newspapers and magazines as well as tourism boards all over Australia. And while those holiday location shoots look glamorous, the alarm clock goes off at 4am every morning and Jules often finds herself editing photos well into the night.
