Choosing the right lenses.

Guys I've decided to spend a bit more and am now 99.9% sure I'll pick up this.

1D MKIIN
24-70 2.8L
70-200 2.8L
10-22 (for my 30D) Ultra wide

What do you all think?

Go for it. You can't loose with that set-up!

Thanks Tareq.

I am going to ask a dealer in Australia what's the best price he can give me on Brand new;

1Ds MKII
16-35L
70-200 2.8L

I have the money it's just a matter of can he help me out and from my previous quote there's no reason he can't


I was thinking of getting a Refurb from Adorama but after TAX and customs i might as well buy a new with 5 years warranty

you are looking for too much gears.
I though i am the only one here in this forum dreaming of lots of gears.

I think I am better off getting;
1D's MKII
24-70L
70-200 2.8L or if i can get a good deal the IS version

Now I just came up with this setup.

1D's MKII
17-40L
85MM 1.8
Sigma 120-300 2.8

I would not sink so much $ in the body. The rumor is that Canon will put out a new flagship 1-body next year. I would go with a 5D and invest the $ on glass which works on any body and holds value better.

I already own a 30D and don't want any more than 16MP

I finally received my lenses and my choices were.

10-22 USM
24-70 f2.8L
70-200 f2.8L IS

filters + ND

Bag and Monopod

But I decided not to get the 1Ds MKII till the 1Ds MKIII comes out.
