Hi Jim: I have used EOS5 and 28-105 with 540EZ for in a few friends' wedding. The results were great. The upside of this setup is the flexibility. If you set your aperture at around 5.6 or below, the results are really good (make sure you use 400 or above film though). But if you want some non-flash shot, I would get add a 50 f1.8II on top of 540 EZ instead of 80 f1.8. 50f.18 is cheap, fast, and sharp (f2.8 or below) and I find this more flexible than 80 f1.8. The downside of 50 f1.8 is its non USM motor and plastic mount. But I don't think that should be a big deal and this combo is still kind of within your budget as well. :) Anyway, just my 2 cents view.
