Personally I think most prop series owner already know what they wanted and had already purchase most of the equipments (eg: lenses & flashes). For me I don't really think so much about the PWP deals, as I already owned what I need hence my main concern is the price & my usage of the body.

thanks everyone who gave their views in helping me to choose a 5Dmk2.
Finally, i got my second hand mint condition 5dmk2 this morning, full set with receipt dated mar2010, warranty till jun2011.
sc about 1500(after checking with eosinfo.exe). previous buyer bought from mscolor.
he sold me at 2.9k . serial number starting from 16xxxxxx. I think that is a decent deal, so bought it.
But now i only have a 50mm F1.8 II lens, now planning to get 2-3 lens to pair with this camera, pehaps a 24-105 and another prime.
By the way, is my 50mm F1.8 II good enough for full frame, or should i upgrade to a F1.4

congrat on ur new purchase, it is a good camera.
for lens, 50mm f./1.8 is good enough, it is a sharp lens.
decide which lens to buy according to what u like to shoot, macro, tele, fast lens(f/2.8)

thanks. I think i will get a 24-105mm for a start and keep my 50mm F1.8 II since i also think it is sharp lens.

You may need to take note the micro-usm on the 50F1.4... :sweat:

50mm f1.8 is good lens (but not so good on non FF bodies, it will gives orange tint to the photo when shoot in indoors, but this problem dun surface on FF bodies), u will appreciate the weight combine with your cam body (if u dun have carrying heavy gears).
I wun advise you to upgrade to 50mm f1.4 due to the many complaints about the USM breaking down. If you want, I advise you to get a Sigma 50mm f1.4. Its much better and wun give you so much problems.

you won't regret, 24-105 is a good general purpose lens :thumbsup:

this is what i am afraid of as heard alot of complaints about the F1.4.

i think i will give Canon 50mm F1.4 a miss, the sigma 50mm F1.4 looks good on crop bodies, but FF seems not so good on sigma 50mm F1.4.

that is another good lens, I will consider that if not getting the sigma 50mm f1.4
Definitely a great lens! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

was eager to try out after i bought my 5Dmk2 this morning, hence try some night shots at my windows.
I took a few shots at different ISO, and compare with same ISO which i took with my 7D last time.
5Dmk2 at ISO 800 is like 7D ISO 200 to ISO 400
5Dmk2 at ISO 1600 is like 7D ISO 800
5Dmk2 at ISO 3200 is like 7D ISO 1600
now i am convinced 5Dmk2 is good with high ISO
