But I'm pretty sure these lenses are interchangable so no need to feel married to one set up.  Yeah, figured the 24-70 would work better on the 5D. If I needed wider I could go with the ef10-22 on the 20D and stick the 70-200 on the 5D.

Extra reach could be nice and 24mm on crop isn't that wide. Yeah, while a couple of 5D MkIII's would be very nice, it's probably not gonna happen in the near future. Dennis

It would be a bit more versatile than the 24-70 on the cropper and then the 70-200 on the 5D would be a bit more usable in more situations other than losing some reach. That's how I am setup. I use a 40D with 17-55 and 5DII with 70-200 for weddings.

I use a 40D with 17-55 and 5DII with 70-200 for weddings. Not out of reach, but I probably need to upgrade the 20D first, although I still love it. I can stick the 10-22 on the 20D and the 70-200 on the 5D and cover a nice range too. Dennis
