Also, there's a special, extra-large Lee filter holder for it. Dude! I just saw the Zeiss 15 2.8 rumor!

I was going to get the 16-35 f/4 + converter for the 5D2. But the Dark Side is pulling me in ... "It doesn't matter what camera you have if your photography has nothing worthwhile to say"

I've upsize the 5D3's image to 36MP and it still looks sharp and impressive.  5DmkIII, 200 2.8L II, 135L, 100L, 50L, 35L, 40 2.8,17-40L, Tamron 45

Canadian suppliers no longer list the D700 and those that ordered within past few weeks are getting calls cancelling orders. Andy

Last time i check they didn't have any D800 samples yet. 5DmkIII, 200 2.8L II, 135L, 100L, 50L, 35L, 40 2.8,17-40L, Tamron 45

Maybe they can concentrate on getting FX lenses out to the major dealers now.
