Wow, I guess all the missing Canon rebate checks must have showed up at your house. :lol:

Do you want to save us some time and tell us how much that all cost? Are you on the B&H christmas card list now? ;)

Wow, you'll have to rent a storage shed just to store the boxes. What also impresses me is the 17-40 2.8 in Kwang0429's sig. Where do I get one of those?

The title of your post is mildly misleading..... :)

Congrats. What a very nice list.

Don't leave it in your car (unless you first tell me where it's parked).

Insure.

Enjoy.

it was all about $9500. i had a budget of $10K but felt kinda bad spending it all. originally i was going to get a 1d mkii and the lenses. one i got a taste of my friends qflash setup, i was hooked. that's why i went with the 20d. i got it from B&H. it all fits nicely in the camera and studio bags (with the exception of the 70-200).

I would guess around $8500.00

If you are setting up a pro shop and this is a business expense, this doesn't seem like that much money....since you'd recover your costs within a few months. But for most of us who are amateur photographers who are self-financed, this is a lot of money.

Enjoy your gear, and please post some of your work.
