rdenyar,


Welcome to the forum.


I agree with John, #2. You have the 17-40 for wide and the 70-200 for long. The nifty fifty will make a great all around "kit lens" like the film days. Your transition to full frame from the T1i will be easier with f4 lenses. It takes a while to get use to the very narrow depth of field and wide field of view that full frame cameras generate. The IS IMO is a real plus. Try using your 50 for a few weeks after you get the new rig and you'll see what I'm talking about. Don't hold out for a new model. There's always a new model just around the bend. I'm still using an old 5D and love it. FYI, you'll have to go to a 1D toget true weather sealing. There again, don't hold out. If it's raining, put the camera in a plastic bag and shoot what you need to. It's a tool to make photographs.....use it! Have fun.
