View Full Version : I love this camera....
Hi all...
Well, I am now the proud, and extremely happy owner of the 5D II!! Early Christmas present from my wonderful wife. Picked it up this morning, in a kit (with the 24-105)...been salivating and shooting all day. Can't wait to wake up tomorrow....!
Thanks for listening and good night!

Well, if it makes you guys feel any better, it took me a year of saving and a LOT of time working away from my family to be able to afford it....

I also played with one the other day, feels great in the hand and had almost instant auto focus on the new 70-200mm. Sweet camera, and it does sound like you love it :)

&#&*^$!!!!.....I want a wife
I would include gf in there as well, but I don't think they would be that financially invested in me at that point! [:'(]
CONGRATS!! [:D]

Hey Damian..
Congratulations..!
I fully understand and feel what you are talking about and feeling as I, myself, just received one as an early Christmas present from my wife, 5 days ago. I also had to wait a year and a half saving money, mouth-watering when 5DII owners, here, talked about, and added a bit of year-end bonus before proudly picking it up.
I already have 24-105mm and 70-200mm and am now sooooo happy to be able to profit their maximum <span style="color: #ff0000;"]L quality and capacity with my new 5DII.
Have a good play..!

HEy thanks Htet! Congrats yourself!
70-200mm
I also have the 24-105 but have not picked up one of the 70-200s yet. Probably next year.....
As has been previously eluded to - I now suffer from <span style="background-color: #ffffff;"]L disease, and there's no remedy other than the obvious[:D]
<span style="background-color: #ffffff;"]Adios

Congrats for the camera, you'll most surely have fun with it (at least I am, since I picked it up earlier this year)!
As for the L disease, there must be two stages of it: The 85 f/1.8 seems quite ok, even next to my two L-class zooms ... but once you start with L primes, there's probably no looking back.
(And I must admit, I am starting to consider a 100L (and 50L, 35L, and 135L, and at that point I'd probably need to include the 85L too ;-) )
Ciao, Colin

As owner of the 35L I must say it is very nice when in capable hands, I know because, I have seen others capable enough that have taken wonderful photographs!
