Thanks! And yah, i'm loving my 5d. Damn though, did full frame start showing up the limits of my poor 28-105 USM II and 70-300mm USM III lenses.
Recently picked up Tokina's 28-70mm f/2.8 lens since, in spite of having rented and fallen in love with them, canon's 24-70mm f/2.8L is not in the cards for me in the near future. I have to say - it does a damn good job of coming -really- close to the L lens. It's got a bit more vignetting (though nowhere near the USM II/III lenses I have) and it is slower on the focus in low light.
Have i mentioned I love having real 28mm? I still want to play with a 16-35mm lens on this thing.
(Alas, not in the near future, need to take the camera in to be cleaned, there's a nice giant blotch of dust on the sensor - and i'm a bit wary of going in there and cleaning it myself at the moment)
