Dunnomuch Member 205 posts Joined Aug 2005 Location: Singapore More info | I like to downplay it a little sometimes. I psyched my wife for nearly 4 mths (that's how long it took for me to save for it anyway) before I got the 1D2N and when I did get it she was pretty cool about it.. A week later I got the 70-200IS and hoped she didn't notice the size difference between the f4L and the IS. Over the weekend I passed her the camera to shoot our daughter and me, and she didn't seem to notice the difference. If she didn't notice the difference then the difference is too small to mention right? 5DMkII, 1DMkIII, EF135f2L, EF85 f1.8 MkII, EF85 f1.2L MkII, SIGMA EX 50 f1.4, EF50 f1.8, EF35f1.4L, EF70-200f2.8L IS, EF24-70f2.8L, EF16-35 f2.8L MkII, EF28-135 IS, CZ Jena Tessa 50 f2.8, Kenko pro 300 1.4X TC, 580EX, 430EX, Manfrotto 190 PRO-B, Bowens Esprit 2x500W kit, ST-E2, Elinchrom skyport
