Nope. Can't afford both. Well I could, but I have the money tied up in big, heavy glass at the moment. And I like the glass a lot!

and which one are we talking about

Yes.....glass rules!

I have a fair bit of glass at the moment and can't justify buying more..

Yeah I should know better....for my dear friends at POTN will come up with a *VERY* compelling reason to leave me broke again

Shhhh.... need to recover from the 1D first.... then maybe 100-400, and 70-200 IS..

thats a great gameplan. I am done for awhile, its been an eventful last couple of days. Have to save up for the 50 F/1.2L next

Holy mackerel! And I'm still drooling over getting a 5D next year.

I have just sold my 5D kit and bought a 1DsMKII - it is awesome compared to the 5D, the focussing is great, build quality and the feel of it!

BUT I agree strongly that you need good glass to go with it... So I now have both the 1 Series Pro bodies and a stable of good L glass to match (it has taken many years to get here but I am now very happy - my wife is not though LOL!)

So pleased nothing newer was announced at Photokina this week!

Will this thread beat Calicokat's thread on the 300 2.8 first shots - which turned out to be the longest General Chat in this forum ?

hmm, i think the "go back to work tommorow" thread is already the successor of the POTN Pub?

Well, Dante, you'll find out in a couple of hours whether or not it was worth it to trade the 1DsMkII for a 30D

I'll check back this afternoon to see if this thread has turned blue...

Congrats Dante, I recently bought a 1DN and I'm lovin it.

Congrats!!!
I still feel i am in HEAVEN with my 1D2N, i went to store to see that 5D, it is great indeed but the body makes me never look less that 1-series.
Enjoy and waiting photos always.

I can't say exactly.

Well, it's longer than 300 mm, and just as fast.
