5D mark iii idea

[CanonCameraFan]

A thought struck me today. Lots of people who haven't pre-ordered want the 5D mark iii body only, but it seems stores are getting stocks of the kit. I'm one of those people still trying to afford an L lens never mind a 5D mark iii. Jessops in the UK are selling the kit for £3689.95 whilst the lens only is £919.95. Other companies probably have a similar deal. So get together with a mate who wants the body only and save a packet on the 24-105 L lens. The other person gets to pay the body only price and you get to save a packet on the 24-105 L lens. Winner, everyone's happy!

Yeah, but your mate might want to split the savings too. Then it's a winner, till the fighting starts!

You may have a point there...

Also, kit lenses are separated from the kits and sold separately at times at a discount price. If I am not mistaken, they are called "white box"... Only L would be 24-105 f/4 though and they are available only sometimes at some dealers...
