THankyou BBrat and Permagrin!

I wanted the FE lens to see if I really have the ability to be creative, macro is always good and I wanted a good zoom. Long lenses and 580ex in 24 days when I get paid again!!

I was wondering what you were going to do with the long end...

I would say you have an exceptional start there! Enjoy the gear!

I really am undecided at this point, I want a fast, long, affordable lens:lol: is there such a thing? seriously though, I am looking at the Siggy 120-300 EX DG... would love the EF300 but it's too much cash... but I am pretty stupid with cash, so who knows!

70-200 2.8 IS is a cert, I think.

Oh yes, and the 16-35 II when it comes out... crap! I going to be so poor!

You forgot the canon 100-400 f4 Thats my next big expenditure.


Please speak slowly and distinctly. I have a wife, AND a computer, I don't need any more confusion in my life.

I wanted to be a nude photographer, but when I went outside naked, everyone pointed and laughed, so I gave it up.

That focal range is so tempting, but unfortunately... i can't stand the push pull idea, I tried it in Jessops once and I didn't feel like I was in control.
