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....

Congrats, though
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 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]
Trust me man, not every wife is willing to do that...... thats one lucky guy ;)
@ Sven: Thanks, the camera is sweet and I
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..!

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

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
