That sounds very hopefull

:p

I sold my Tammy 28-75 and used the $$$ for a Canon 85 1.8 Worth every penny.

Don't fret.
A lot of folks here actually don't use the gear they own...they just like collecting things...

This is real funny! I know a few people that bought all the gear required for a motorcycle but, they didn't buy the motorcycle. Duuuuuh! :p

If you look at the exif data you will see they were either from a P&S or from a long time back.
I have been without an SLR since Nov 2007.
Til now I have always bought cameras with kit lenses and promised myself I would get pro glass but never did.
I've had both canon and nikon systems too (ooooo, the horror)
It's very rare that I could honestly say the camera was the reason for me not getting a shot, it's always been lens limitations.
My friend and next door neighbour has two canon cameras be they the lowly 350d and 400d but they will suffice for testing until I decide what body to get.
The optic is being bought through Jessops in the UK and they have a 28 day any reason refund policy so, as you can see, the risk to me is very low.

Don't listen to them...

You don't need a body! Just buy a SECOND lens and you'll have the coolest eyeglasses of anyone else in the psych ward!

You should have invested the money while you wait for enough to get a body as well, now you just have a paper weight and losing $x every day due to forgone interest
