Especially if you've got the 85 1.8 coming. That may be the plan... I just dont know how often I would use the 100-400 other that when im hiking. I would probably use it for birds but I would be tempted to get a 400 f5.6 for that..... http://www.flickr.com/photos/l1ttlegreenman/

Does the new 5D Mark II shutter still sound like this or is more like the 40D or 1D? haha I think you are way too spoiled on that 1DmkIII shutter sound!!! I upgraded to a 5D from an xti and the first thing I said was..... "man the shutter sounds soooo much better than the xti" now you have me wanting a 1D for another reason http://www.flickr.com/photos/l1ttlegreenman/

I am thinking about getting this lens next for my main "portrait/headshot" lens. I agree with Perry - its a sweet lens on the 5D. I wanted a little more length though so I sold mine for the 100 f/2...  f/2.5...  Gear List
