haha, Good points. This forum + B&H = bad news for my wallet.

I'm bummed right now about having to send another lens back to Canon, so that's enough to keep me from buying at the moment.

Looking forward to more shots Dante!

You know, dude...I hate to admit it, but if I were you, I'd sell the 17-40, the 135L, and the 70-300 DO IS. Put a bit of money with it, and boom. 300 2.8 L IS. Fun, huh? It'd spank the other lenses for IQ, and it'd be a hell of a lot more fun to use. :wink: Do it.......do it.

Ron, that suggestion of selling the 17-40, 70-300DO and 135L makes great sense actually. What do you think they would command dollarwise?
