35mm f/2.

Next camera? Dunno. Have too many of them to shoot as it is, and I just got a new shipment of film in from Adorama, so I'll be busy a while.

Yeah, the only "limitation" I would say the 5d2 or any full frame has is that the long end of the 70-200 is a lot shorter than on the 40d... a lot. Burst rate seems twice as fast on the 40d as well. Took the 5d2 and the 40d to a wedding and used the 40d for about 80% of the shots.

Well, 5d2 have 2x time more pixels. So i can crop it and get compatible image. If it was 2.56x more pixes i can say we have exact picture, but 40d is still having a small advantage in this. Burst rate is a nice thing, but i realized that i don't use it that much. I ride snowboard with my friends and last season i remember we got only couple of days shooting.

My favourite lens on the 40 was 100/F2, got me the most keepers, this was when the 40D was my main body paired with a Rebel XT as second.
I have upgraded the XT to a 7D, wich I am using mostly with a 50 mm or 100 mm, and the 40D with a zoom. This is because the 7D has got more pixels, so cropping vs zooming is an option when getting the right framing.
