I almost ordered one today but I'm kicking around a 17-40 f4L. Canon 7D, Sigma BigmOS. various canon and sigma lenses, Speedlite 430EX ii, Promaster SystemPRO 2n tripod/Manfrotto Joystick Head.

Oct 02, 2010 16:01 | #9 I want the 135L but for the price I can get to other primes. I think I should just wait it out till I get enough for the 135L. Or I could get the ziess 135 anyone use that lens. I've heard really good things about it and its the cheap version of the 135L
