Yes true, so maybe the other combination to ditch the 24-105 & get the 16-35mm instead of the 17-40mm, might be better so: 16-35 / 24-70 f2.8L II / 70-300 f4-5.6L IS

After much debate & hanging out in a camera store carrying around the 70-200mm f/2.8 IS on a 5D3, I think I've decided to flag the 70-200mm f/2.8 due to the weight. I think I'm now looking at for my 5D3: 17-40 / 24-70 f2.8L II / 70-300 f/4-5.6L IS I was also considering the 24-105 f/4L IS USM...

Yes agree with you ! Now you are not the same Richie McCaw as the one I know from Chch, NZ are you ???

I have a great opportunity to get them at 50% off retail, hence why I want to get a few while I get this chance ! Makes it harder !

I'm purchasing a Canon 5Dlll + 24-70mm f/2.8L + 70-200mm f/2.8L IS. I was also after a 100-400mm but decided it will be too heavy to lug around, so considering a converter instead. With the 70-200mm what recommendation would you make : a 1.4XII or 2XII or 1.4XIII or 2XIII ?? Any advice on...

Sorry that was confusing - the kit comes with the 24-70mm f/2.8 and on top of that I was looking at also getting the other lenses separately. Sorry about that !

Hi there - Ive been lucky enough to come across some money & am going to upgrade my Canon equipment. I currently have a Canon 50D with a 18-200mm lens. I am looking at the following & would appreciate any advice : 5Dlll kit set - with the EF 24-70mm f/2.8 ll USM lens. Canon EF 70-200mm...

Sorry I am new to these forums & I wasn't sure how to add to an existing thread (or if I was meant to) - but as I couldn't see anything related to my question, I've entered it here ! Does anyone know anything about Buffalo Tripods ? I travel a lot, so weight is a consideration & all the...
