Its over a year old, so doesn't have some of the newer lenses, but you can see no one lens dominates, there are pluses and minuses for every choice. Canon 6D, 1DmkII, IR modified 5DII with lots of Canon L, TSE and Zeiss ZE lenses

Dec 27, 2005 17:52 | #22 Well, my mom isn't going to buy me a $1200 lens. So the Canon 180 isn't in the picture (I'll probably be buying this one later myself). I think I'm going to go with the Canon 100 for now.
