I've been thinking about this for a long time and finally today I couldn't stop myself...
...just gave B&H a good part of my savings and ordered all three TS-E lenses...

...why I tell you I don't know other than I'm exited and can't wait to give them a spin.

Call me nuts. :D

I'm never one to argue with a photographer's lens choices, but I am curious as to why you felt you needed all three lenses?

I'm curious as well. All 3. Do you need them for any particular reason?

Send some my way. I still need to work 20 days to get my 5D. That'll take me all the way past December, if I don't get calls soon.

Oh, how I wish I had money to burn. Not really. I wouldn't change my life right now for anything. Really. :)

Hi FretNoMore,

You are gonna love them, they are a lot of fun but take a while to get used to. But well worth the effort

no, this is not just "another" lens order thread. about the only thing that could seem crazier is if you said you ordered the 300 2.8, 400 2.8, 500 F4, and 600 F4.

congrats

Reminds me of the old bull and young bull's conversation as they crested a hill overlooking 12 young cows grazing in the meadow. The young bull said, "Lets run down there and get us one". The old bull replied, "Lets just walk down and take care of all of them one at a time". Oh well, it went something like that.
