Excellent tactics. The one lens I use most of all i the 24-70, and I would have to say wider rather than longer, so I guess the answer is there. > >Perhaps a better question to ask yourself is, which lens wouldn't >make me feel limited? Indeed. I love the 85mm but it would be too limiting for me. The 24-70 less so, but I yearn for a prime. As I get older, I feel my photographic desires changing. I dare say I'll end up as a crumpled old man, wandering the streets with an M3 and 35mm, dressed in a shabby macintosh, doing little dances on my tippy-toes. Until then, I'll continue with the 1DmII and a few lenses, yearning and searching for a racing pulse ;-) Really appreciate your help. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
