I hate to say it, but Nikon's current 24-70 f2.8 beats the pants of Canon's at wide aperature. IS would be nice too. 5D, 5DmkII, a bunch of Canon glass and adapted manual primes

Doesn't need IS or any optical/coating improvements. Keep it big, heavy and expensive so only pros will be willing to buy and use one. So only pros can buy expensive gear? Are you threatened that amateurs are sporting nice glass and DSLR's?

In reality, amatures are the ones that can usually afford new expensive glass as they havé disposable income from their 6 figure salaries while the photo pro are scrambling to find their next paying job.
