I have just upgraded my body (camera as well !!!), and am looking for recommendations on the best combo:
My previous camera was the EOS-20D, which I have just upgraded to the 7D (5 months ago), with the intention of selling the older one. I purchased an EF 135 f/2L last year and was using this lens almost exclusively instead of the kit 17-85 lens.
I have now decided to keep the 20D, having sold the 17-85 lens only. I have the following lenses: which would you keep on which body, and why?
135 f/2L (1 year old)
50 f/1.4 (6 months)
17-55 f/2.8 IS (new)
I bought the 7D primarily for the extra frame-rate and AF points for use with the 135 lens. I was happy with the results of the 135 on the 20D, but am ecstatic with it on the 7D.
My future lens purchase considerations (in order of priority) are the 300 f/4L IS, 35 f/1.4L & 85 f/1.8. I don't need two bodies, but it's easier than swapping lenses (and no-one has offered a sensible price). I would also be tempted by a mythical 7D Mk II, assuming 10fps & better ISO performance, but would sell the 7D for this.
Many thanks for your expert opinions and advice....
