last photographying post (for now, i promise)

Of course, no discussion of what lenses i'm looking at would be complete without the "If money were no object" lens:



The Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens. Canon L quality glass (and there is a noticeable difference there!), Image stabalization, and look at that range - 100-400mm! (Alas, i'm not using an aps-c camera anymore, or I'd get 160-640mm effective range out of it).

Of course, that would leave me hanging in the 70-100mm range.

This is a horrible, horrible addiction....

In that case I may as well just crop - since that's effectively what's happening anyway.

Hmmm - i'm actually curious what effective megapixel the 5d's 13MP image cropped down to aps-c size gives me.

I do need to consider a backup body soon - i've got a d30 at the moment - but when i'm out shooting with the 5d in situations where i'd need/want a backup body the punt from 13mp back down to 3 is a bit harsh (plus, the folks that I do some of my shooting for don't want anything less than 6-8).
