Hopefully a 1D Mark IV, if released. Other than that, maybe a 45mm TS-E.

just bought a new 135L to replace the one i had foolishly sold; bought and promptly sold a sigmalux - god i wanted to like that lens.

now, if canon will for the sake of pete come out with the 1D4, i can go ahead and justify a 1D3. (i have a feeling my 35L will like it better on a 1.3 body.)

After a few years of having the same lenses in my bags and after purchasing a used 5D last year, I decided to change it up a bit, since I really discovered my likes and dislikes...

I sold my:
10-22
100mm macro
50 1.4
24-105L

I purchased (and am THRILLED WITH):
35L
24-70L
135L

Accessories:
Domke FX-3

Only thing on my current wish list is:
85L (I or II!!!!)

I'm really happy with these changes!!!

I had plans on upgrading my iMac this year but that changed. I was able to upgrade to a Mac Pro for $1000 thanks to Apple. After attempting to fix the issue I had, they made me an offer I could not refuse.

On the Camera front, I have plans of adding a 100-400 and possible a 24 TS-E.

Congrats on your 300 and wft.. both pretty sweet.
If it were me; I would move the 35 and 85 to the top of the list, although if you keep your current trend, you will end up w/ a 2xtc and a fish...

For me, I bought a 5D2
on the list would be a 45 tilt shift and maybe a 16-35.. but then again, I am not much of a zoom guy...so prob just the ts

very good thread Jarvis...

Thanks you Sir, yeah the 2x and the fish are a little easier to swallow/purchase than the 35L or the 85L II. I really hadn't looked at my trend there, good eye

. I'll probably do the 24L before the 35L just because I tend to end up there quite a bit. As you know things change and needs take the place of wants.
Enjoy your new toys.

GOD Bless you and yours.

Same here. I want the 5D II, but if the 1D IV were FF of 16MP or more and the othr goodies, then I might just use that and keep my 40D until the 60D comes out. Otherwise if no 1D IV or it's 1.3x crop, then 5D II is more likely.

580II

Coming will be atleast the 24L before Winter for the auroraaaaa this Winter!

Bought already :

Just ordered today :
Another 580 EX II

If the 1D4 is 16mp FF, it will likely be next on the list for 2010.

Already bought the 5D mk2

Have the 800 f/5.6 IS on order

Thinking seriously about a 200 f/2 IS

If the 1Dmk4 gets released this year....it would be mighty tempting.

I seriously can't afford living with myself.
