    Well, I think I have come to a decision, partly made by me with the help here and partly made by the fact that I think I lost out on one anyway.

    Since my Tammy isn't selling, I am going to keep it and not get the current 17-55mm that is available. For the amount of times that I need it, it will suffice along with the 50mm 1.8 II (odd little lens btw).
    I messaged the guy that is selling the 135L to see if it was still available for the lowest price he said he'd sell it for and my message was ignored so I think he is now going for the highest offer. Of which, I do not plan on going any higher than $825 and I don't see any others available.

    Well, that was fun! Hmmm, now what should I buy instead!?

    LOL! I refuse to pay that much for a speedlight especially since I don't even have my existing ones completely figured out half the time! But on the other hand, I am looking VERY CLOSELY at this for my existing speedlights ...

    Don't get me side-tracked, Jan!
    Sorry about that

    Haha oh good old times... the 50mm 1.8. How do you like it? (I actually have only bad memories of it, I used it about 2 times and the second time it wouldn't come of my brand new camera. Cost me 4 weeks repair on a brand new camera)

    I started "investing" in another hobby: mountainbiking. Easy as well to spend a lot of money in and plenty of upgrades available if you have money burning your hand You could take the camera on a ride and enjoy two hobbies at the same time. Perhaps you could even custom-build a ballhead onto it to take some roling shots Imagine the possibilities...hmmmm(here's where the girlfriend has to step in)
