Okay, all so I had been going back and forth about selling my Pro 1 after buying my XT. I came to the decision that I would only sell it if somebody in my family otherwise keep it. I got home from a quick road trip and my uncle asks where my 'other' camera was. (I had taken it with me). He stands in the door for a few minutes and then says that he guesses it should be his now, fifteen minutes later he comes with the $400 I told him I would sell it for. So.. now my Pro 1 has found a happy home and will be well used and well loved. But.... what do I spend the money on?? I'm seriously leaning towards glass. I have my XT, kit lens, 75-300 Ef, a total of 3G CF, lens hoods, cleanig everything, battery grip etc..... so for now, it should be spent on new lenses... any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Sari.:) :) :)

Maybe a 50 f1.4 or 85 f1.8. $400 should just fit the bill for one of these :)

You could find a used 580 AND a 50 1.8 for about $400.
