You make it soo easy. I'll keep my mouth shut on this one.

You're opening yourself up here too...

5D + 85 1.8 = LOVE

I like 5D and 24-105 too!

I got my 5D a little over a week ago. Took about 24 hours to get over the crop factor (missing) . Amazing camera and to think I have been agonizing over getting one for the past 6 months. A couple of my lens have risen from "crop hell" to amazing results.
I still have my 30D but I sold all my EF-S lenses except the Tamron 18-250 over the past week.
I really am up in the air on the 30D. In one way I want to sell it and get an XTi to fit any crop needs. Slap on the 18-250 for general walkaround pics. Lighter/smaller/easier to travel with or take places I don't want to take the 5D. Disadvantages: different controls/different battery/smaller vf. Will have to ponder this one a little longer but will probably go with the XTi in the end me thinks.

Heh, I realized that when I posted it. But I figured as long as I didn't mention it nobody would bother. Great minds and all!

The 5d is a great camera... welcome to the FF club.

Had my 5D for a couple of weeks. It will be primarily a landscape and architectural camera. Certainly holding on to my 20D as the reach camera for wildlife and birds. And will replace that with a 30D or follow-on when it croaks. Even then I won't dump my 10-20 Sigma, although likely will sell of the 17-85 as the range is nicely duplicated by other L glass I have or will have. I too think it easier to use bodies with essentially the same controls, and much easier to carry two, switching out instead of changing lenses.
