Lenses / Re: need help with a lens decision

I personally would sell the 70-200 and buy more primes ;-)

I have a beautiful selection of primes, but you would have to pry the 70-200mm II IS f2.8 from my cold, dead hands...it is just such a versatile, sharp lens, fantastic for portraits and reportage.

Pricewatch Deals / Re: Stock Notice: Canon ST-E3-RT Wireless Transmitter in Stock

I got tired of waiting for B&H and bought mine on Amazon last month, from a 3rd party seller. $328, but the free shipping and no tax more than made up for the extra nine bucks for the B&H one.

I mostly use the 600EX's but kept my Plus II's for my studio packs, figured in a pinch I can plug a sync cable into the camera if the hotshoe is occupied by the ST-E3-RT, but to be honest I rarely mix speedlights with studio lights.

I've no doubt that either Canon or a 3rd party (latter more likely) will have a RT receiver out in due time. Just a dumb trigger like the Plus II would be fine so should be fairly simple to engineer.
