I canceled my original order for a 24-70mm that I posted about earlier and then re-ordered it becuase I had a dream last night that I won some money on a lottery scratch-off ticket so I went ahead placed a combined order this morning for the following:

EOS 5D
BG-E4 Grip
EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM and hood
EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM and hood

I’m looking forward to using a full frame camera and having wider lenses to work with. My 20D has served me well and now having another camera will help cover the zoom lens range on locations.


5D * 20D * XHA1S * HF11
EF 35mm f/1.4L USM * EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro
EF 85mm f/1.8 USM * EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM
EF-S 17-85MM f/4-5.6 IS USM * EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM
EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM * Ext EF 1.4x ll * Ext EF 2x ll * 580EX Flash

uhhh...if you dream you are a sky diver and your parachute doesn't open but you land safely will you...............? :lol:


(kidding)
You bought some very nice gear. Out of curiosity, why'd you cancel the first order? (hope it wasn't budget related...)

Every skydiver has that dream - really! In the dream you get up, dust yourself off and feel embarrassed, hoping no-one saw!

Having said that, congratulations on a hefty set of purchases, I hope your lottery ticket is a winner.

What happens if you don't win with the lottery ticket - I assume you have to move out and live in a caravan/trailer or something? - At least you will be able to post some nice shots of it when you do :-)

I didn't win the UK Lotto last night so I have to put my plans on-hold for the 85mm f/1.2 L that I've been eyeing-up...

UPDATE: - I have just had a dream, [... 'click' add to basket :-)] ... ;)
