the 50mm L is one of the sexiest lens for full frame body

the 85mm L is very sexy to on a 1D / 1Ds

*droool 85mm L*

Congrats! But after reading this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegemite I can only ask WHY anyone would consume such a "food" product?

You're all crazy. Marmite is where it's at...

And wow - that 50 sure does look good on the MkII. Looking forward to seeing some pictures from that combo!
