    Looks like I'll be getting a 5D MkIII & 24-105mm a lot sooner than expected.

    Just got notice that my disability claim through the VA got approved and I'll be getting about $6k of backpay. Going to be a big upgrade from my T3i.

    for what it is worth - I did the same, if you can swing the 24-70 I think you would like the image quality better. At least my version of the 14-105 is not in the same league
    If you see me with a wrench, call 911

    Sorry to hear that you have anything going on warranting a disability claim....but congrats. The biggest upgrade is low light/high iso ability. I bet you enjoy that with your concert photography.

    The 24-70 isn't an option right now, I can't just spend it all on camera stuff now :P

    And Brant, it's nothing too bad, just bad enough that they saw fit to pay me for it. I'm still fully capable of living a normal life. Lower back, neck, and tinnitus. That's it.

    I function quite well in my opinion, I just have the back of a 50 year old while only being 24. And John, I will, thanks!

    I will have fun! I'm going to order it when I get home from NC on Saturday. Hopefully it will make it to me by the 4th, I can't see why it wouldn't, because I'll be going up to my girlfriends camp.
