I'm trying to decide between getting a 5D II or a 5Dc + 135L(or 200L) since they are about the same price (used). I currently have a 40D, 50mm 1.4, 85mm 1.8, 17-50 2.8, and a 70-200 f/4 L.

Thanks for your help :)

With your lens list, I'd go with the 5D II.

Unless I'm mistaken, your 17-50 2.8 (a Tamron or Sigma?) is not compatible with full-frame cameras like the 5D series. Have you factored this into your upgrade plans?

It's a Tamron, and you're right, it's not compatible with a FF camera. I don't use it enough though, so I don't think I'll miss it.
Thanks for the comments so far
