I went today to the local camera store not knowing if I wanted to get the 35 1.4L or the 85 1.2L for my 40D. After much research on this site, I figured I would get the 35 1.4 as I was looking for something that would work well in lower light conditions indoors... once I got to the store, a friend of mine (also the sales person) joked that I should get the 5D mk2. I asked if the had any in stock and she mentioned that they had 6 of them. She brought a box out to show me as well as the lenses. Through much humming and hawing... I picked up the following. My girlfriend actually encouraged me to do it as well!

time to change your signature!
Congrats and enjoy.

Think new Canon lenses are overpriced? Lots (and lots) of data will set you free!

Congratulations! What a trip to the store! That would be a 'once in a lifetime' for me, $$-wise.

Enjoy your new gear!
