It may look a little silly since that lens weighs 3x's more than your body [:P] but I'd go for it!. Below you can see that Colin started out having his EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS mounted on a Rebel before he upgraded his body.I think you'll find that most replies are going to be in favor of buying glass over a body upgrade. You will get SO much more impact on your photography with the purchase of the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L ISover a new body.


Here's an excerpt from a post Colinmade about buyingglass vs. bodies. I think he sums it up pretty well...

Good glass you'll probably keep for quite a while. The body is far more likely to become obsolete compared to something cheaper, far sooner...
