runninmann what the heck do I know?  More info | Jul 11, 2009 14:40 | #2 merp wrote in post #8263332  Bought my new 5DmII!

I told him I'd take it for $100 bucks. He gave me the entire bag (Like new) and as I went through it I found a SWEET 18-55 kit lense, and just this other like..50mm f1.4 USM. I was so excited I put the kit lense on right away! =) Oops!

The EF-S will (IIRC) mash up your mirror when you use the zoom. I wondered why a mirror fell out of one of mine a couple of months ago when I attempted just this, quite drunk James

I needed a rush job on the repair given I had an all-day Photo shoot with the editor of BBC Wildlife magazine last Thursday, where I needed two bodies James
