I'm taking it you're located in NYC, Neil?

Nooo! That's horrible! I can at least say at least your 70-200 and 7D didn't snap in half (I remember it being in the official show your camera thread?) so look on the bright side!

nice werk shujert.

These were taken after I dropped the lens, would do for a 6x9 print but if you look closer it is kinda blurry and the bokeh just isn't right. It just sucks that there is no real Canon Service in Mexico

I am sorry to hear this. I have never dropped a lens (not yet), but I can imagine the horror.

I hope Canon can fix it for you.

Wow. That bokeh does look strange. Hope you are able to get it fixed quickly!

I'm presently shooting a 7D and am contemplating switching to a full frame for better high ISO capability (if Canon ever releases an attractive successor to the 5d mkII). I have the lovely 17-55 IS, which I won't be able to use on a full frame camera. I find that I'm reaching for my 50mm f/1.4 almost all the time when shooting indoors anyway, and going only to the 17-55 when 50mm on my crop frame is too long. I just can't get quite the same quality out of the zoom. It's definitely more convenient for composition however, and there is no doubt I do more cropping when shooting a prime.

I'm thinking of selling the 17-55, picking up the 35L and using the 35L and 50 f/1.4 for most of my indoors stuff. Maybe picking up a 135L for a little more length outdoors... Between the images in this group and the 135L group, I'm drooling over primes and full frames... I did the math and compared the relative focal lengths of the two primes on a full-frame and I think those will work for me. I can't help but think that if I were using a zoom that something in the 70-200 range would be more useful for me.

Is this sound reasoning?

I'm shooting lots of pictures of my kids, indoors without great lighting.
