Nowadays, I'm more respectful of my one body, and although I took a camcorder & 2 EOS cameras (30V for wide-angle slides & 10D for digital) plus 2 sets of lenses on holiday last week, I carried just one kit when away from the car. (I bought the 30V a short time ago, and must say I'm am impressed with its range of features in a relatively light weight body. Exposure metering for slides is particularly good. If only my "pro" EOS3 had been that good straight out of its box...) I'd love an EF 300 f2.8L and at last I've seen one advertised at an "amateur affordable" price, but when I remember its weight and my shoulder problems, sense starts to creep in, as I already own the f4L. I'll let you know if I do succumb to the temptation!
