Ok, I currently own a T41 and the following lenses: 35 1.4 L / 85 1.8 / 100 2.8 L Macro / 70-200 f4L and I also own the 10-22 and 17-55 2.8 EF-S lenses. I am upgrading to the 5d Mark iii and I am thinking of getting the 24-70 v2 and the 16-35 L and selling my 2 EF-s lenses. I will still have a T4i as a second body but don't want lenses I can't use on both bodies. I am looking to start doing weddings, but currently shoot families and models with ease, my events are nice too but tougher to pull off with the rebel. Hence the upgrade to a FF with better ISO. Thoughts?
Upgrading and looking for lens advice.

If you have the funds to get the 5D III, 24-70 II and 16-35 II all at the same time, then go for it. If not, then replace the 10-22 last. It's a cost effective way to get UWA range.

This is a great plan (Still go for the IS I.. really good bang for your buck but you can only find used).Dylan777 said:
However the original still works, but a 5D III and II combination would go good together! Or if you didn't mind, 2x 5D IIs (just chucking out there. Good quality for a cheaper price).
But still, your original plan was good. I just think it would be more effective with 2 FF's though.

Thanks for all the advice. I am ready to buy the 5d iii today, but I wonder if a few weeks will make a price difference after seeing the beach camera price drop. I am going to see what B and H has to say about it. Beach camera and Adorama kill me because I live in NJ, therefore I pay state tax, B and H saves me hundreds on these orders because they are in NY and don't have to hit me with the tax. So it's either B and H, or Amazon. I trust B and H.
I can get the 24-70 ii as well, If I wait until early Nov. Could get it now, if I sell my EF-S 17-55 2.8 lens or my 580 ex-ii. (I have 2 600's and my 580 sits in my bag at home.) Waiting a few months for the 24-70 is probably smart anyway. I want to ensure the first batch has all the bugs worked out. Keeping the 10-22 for a bit means I can slow down on the 16-35L, not in a big hurry for that one anyway.
I may keep my crop for a while, but once I get a few weddings under my belt, I will probably give the T4i to the wife and grab the 5d ii for a second body, or a 6d.
My favorite crop lenses were the 35 L and the 17-55 2.8, so I would assume the 24-70 ii on my FF would be the same focal range and perfect for my style. The 35 will be a bit wider, but still an amazing lens, I will hang onto it.
Damn, this profession is an expensive and addicting one eh? LOL

I like that plan on selling off my gear, except i want my wife to assist me sometimes and the T4i will be a nice camera to get her started on. The Macro is a keeper too, I enjoy doing macro from time to time. The rest I can do without. Thanks again for the advice. I will post again once I have made a few purchases and update you on how it worked out.
