I've just about retired when it comes to lens.

seriously, i think that i can do everything with 3 lenses which is my ultimate goal. i am well on my way on that one, only $1000 left

24-70, 100-400 and 300 f2.8?

close. 24-70, 70-200 2.8IS, 300 f2.8 + 1.4tc+ 2tc

that should give me portraits, wildlife and landscape which is most of what i do.

oh, I thought you'd NEVER give up your 1-4...but this sounds do-able

i said that i will NEVER give up my 100-400 UNLESS it is for either 300 2.8/500 f4/ 600f4. and i am sticking to my decision

I can almost do that. I can still make claim for a lens or two, that would help, but its do-able.

I have a 16-35, 50 1.4, 70-200 2.8IS, 120-300 2.8.

Only other lens i'd seriously consider are midrange zoom and 85 1.8. Although I could have used a 400 2.8 at the USC-UCLA game.

that is a very nice combo as for the 400 2.8 at the UCLA game, i am not one to say i toldd you so....

I told you so

You won't see me throwing any stones Dante. I moved from my 20d to a 1DsmkII five months ago and I just love it. First time shooting FF since I sold my 35mm gear six years ago. I kept the 20d thinking I would use it but it has not left the bag.

well, yeah, but I saved myself 100 dollars in renting costs. And also the time needed to take the lens from and back to where i rent it at.

true i am sure that your 120-300 did just fine anyway...

5 L primes when you get the 50 1.2. That's a whole lot more than me. I have no prime L lenses. Someday, I'm thinking the 135L, but not until I get the rest paid for.

Its not the glass my dear! its what you do with it.

Na na na fooo foo!!

Well Dante, I was seriously worried that young and ambitious prince Tareq might throw you off your royal throne, after your reckless 5D adventure!
Now I am relieved to see that everything is back in order..

Me too!

it is too good to reserve for just the cookie dance! Desperate times = na na na foo foo!

I knew it was only a matter of time until Dante cleared the cooking grease from his head.

How can one possibly go from the current (even if soon to be replaced) world's best 35mm camera, to literally half the camera in build, speed, etc?

And to anybody who thinks for a minute that it was an even trade back, I've got a bridge for sale.

Dante, welcome back to the world of the sane.

And to the Town of 2.8ville.

You've been headed here all along....

There is only one more step to take, that 4-gig digital field camera.....
