1D's and 70-200 2.8 IS ?

Using a 1D's MKII and a 70-200 2.8IS what would you hook the Monopod up to, body or lens?

ring on lens is best way. once in a while I either don't have the tripod ring on the lens, or just am too dumb to use it. You can get away with either way, but you lose the ability to go portrait if you don't use the tripod ring. Unless you want to pick up the monopod and hold it at 9 or 3 o'clock.

The lens.

Definitely the lens. Not only does it give you the flexibility to switch between landscape and portrait modes very quickly, it also balances out the combo a lot better. And also puts less strain on the lens mount of the camera, to boot.

Thanks guys

Congrats
I ordered for 1Ds MarkII and 5D together at once
I hope within one week or so the gears are here

Tareq i haven't ordered yet.

I am now thinking what if i make the order then in a months time the MKIII comes out!!!

I think I should wait till the end of February what do you guys think?

I can't wait.
Still there is time before new camera will produced and be released.
and i am not sure what more features will be there on that new model.
Anyway, you can wait if so, who knows what you can get.

I am not getting the 1D's MKII anymore it's too much for a hobbyist. If in the future i do this for a living then i will get it.

So for now my 30D will have to do.

I am going to buy 3 lenses for my 30D and keep and save my money.

The three lenses most likely be something like;

10-22
24-70L
70-200 2.8L

I am still going to think about it for a week or two.

I'd love to get the 1Ds MKII now but i don't need it and it would be silly to get it now

Thanks for all your advice guys.

Wimp! You will be haunted for life, knowing you settled for 3rd best.
