I agree with the above, as I'm making the jump to the L series lens on my 40D.



I've started off with the Behemoth 70-200 2.8 IS and my next purchase is most likely the 24-70, then possible another lens or start saving up for the 5DII or whatever is available at the time. And that's just to make the jump to FF over cropped sensor.


I have many photographer friends and this is and will always be an expensive hobby, but they told me to get a Flash and Lens first, then worry about getting a new body as those things you'll bring over to the new kit each and everytime unless you upgrade one of the lens. (for me that'll be the nifty 50 possibly)


I thought the same about the 50D when it was announced and I just picked up my 40, but I never did sell and make the jump.. and I'm glad I've spent my $$ on Lens over bodies!
