Thanx for all the feedback. After hearing everyone's suggestions, I decided to get the 5dmk3 now with the 16-35L, the 24-105L, and with the savings and double rebate i'll get the 100L macro, or stretch and get the 70-200LIS.

What nailed it for me was that the 24-105L in the kit in the u.s. is 1/3 the cost of the 24-70mk2 here in japan. I could also probably sell the kit lens here in Japan for a profit. I was worried about the 24-70 being out in time for my trip to Hawaii in Oct..

You might need polarizer filter + nd 10stop filter for waterfall:
