Keep My 50D or Trade for A 5D MkI

[pikers]

Hi all,


Well after a few weeks of deliberation, I decided to go for the 5D. I ended up trading my 50D + $200 for the 5D. So far I'm really loving this thing but it's going to take a while to get used to it. The only feature I really miss from the 50D is the sensor cleaning system...the 5D is a dust magnet!





Thanks for your input!

Tell me about it! I had to clean that thing almost every day when I was shooting macro with it.


How do you like your 17-40 now?

Yeah, I'm going to have to work on my OCD about keeping my stuff 100% dust
free...I don't think that's possible with the 5D.<o></o>

Funny you mentioned that...<o></o>

I've fallen in love with my lenses all over again with the 5D! My most
recent purchase was the 70-200 f/4L IS and while I liked the results, the focal
lengths were just too long for what I typically shoot. Now, with the 5D, this
thing is on my camera almost as much as the 50mm and that thing is usually
GLUED to my camera. The same with my 50mm, it's much more comfortable to work
with.<o></o>


For now, the 17-40, 50mm, and 70-200 have me covered for almost anything.
I'll probably end up moving to all primes (34, 50, 85, 100 MACRO or 135), but
for now, I'm loving this setup!<o></o>
