(I know you've already purchased and are expecting toys tomorrow.)


Great glass can breathe new life into an otherwise lesser body. With a 1D Mark III, 40D, Rebel XTi, and Powershot G9 in the house, most people can figure out which cameras are used first. A month ago, with my 1D3 in the shop (twice), I borrowed my friend's 85/1.2 for a trip to Philly. Three social events (one club, one bowling alley, one jazz club) were a blast to shoot with a 40D&16-35/2.8 and an XTi&85/1.2. The 85L feels real funny on the XTi, but who cares?
