Sorry, typo. I might, if I can find one - I haven't seen stock of any around here in a while, except on-line, but for not much less than a 450D. I'd have to look at common accessories though - I still have my extra battery, remote release, etc. But then, looking at the specs, I might just hold out - no 3200 ISO

Nope still waiting.
And yet somehow us poor schleps still manage to take half-way decent photos.Sorry, typo.

Yeah, but as you may know, I like taking pictures in near dark without flash and with an f/4 lens
Cool - so do I.Yeah, but as you may know, I like taking pictures in near dark without flash and with an f/4 lens

No problem.

Only problem is I don't have the old f/4 anymore. I guess I can start using my 10-20 f/4-5.6 as a portrait lens. It's surprisingly capable if you use it right.
I guess you won't be surprised but I have looked long and hard at that one. Only problem is the price

what 28mm f1.4 lens can do hand-held at ISO50 LOL
now imagine what it can do on fast digital cam

You should know better than to believe everything he says...
Anyway, it's 1/8 of a second, regardless of ISO, it's not particularly slow at 24mm - I have several pictures taken hand-held at similar speeds. The last one in my stream was at 1/6 at 200mm...

at least it's not the fake moon landing people, or the flat earth society
oh, that reminds me
flat earth society proved the moon landing was a fake,
because the photos the astronauts brought back showed a round earth
okay okay

Whaaa - haven't head that in a decade or two
Doesn't really matter, although I'm taking the ISO50 with a grain of salt. Even in very well lit places (like Vegas) at night, I've never been able to go much below ISO 400 and keep the shutter in the "humanly possible" range.

yeah, original 5d still has amazing image quality
and ditch the 10-20 f/4-5.6?

Nope, bundle it with my sis' b-day present
EDIT: or just keep it and get a rebel or something for landscape shots. That 10-20 suffers much less barrel distortion at 10mm than any lens (except unaffordable primes) would on a FF body at 16mm.

Me too but for now I look at the charts and draw my own conclusion. Anyway's if/when I start to make money out of this, it having a 40D/50D for a backup body won't hurt.
I've not seen a chart for the 16-35 - and probably wouldn't know what to do with it if I had.

You didn't look at the photozone reviews before you bought it?
Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8 USM L @ 16mm:
Sigma AF 10-20mm f/4-5.6 HSM EX DC @ 10mm:
16mm on FF would give you the same field of view as 10mm on a 1.6x crop body, right? Given my experience with my EF lenses on both the 40D and film Rebel, I would say that for the same lens, barrel distortion is much more pronounced on the full frame. For example, the 24-105 shows hardly any barrel distortion at 24mm on the 40D - at least not enough to be easily visible in my photos, even architecture photos. But on the film body the distortion is fairly apparent. Enough that a lot of the guys on the 5D/1D forums call this lens "poor"
