Hello,
I must share my excitement with everyone. After almost four months of reading, reading, and more reading and agonizing over the decision between lenses I got my shipment in the mail. I was torn between what route to go with camera sensors (i.e. full frame or crop). After much deliberation I decided to stay with crop camera's. It mostly came down to cost verse return. I'm a hobbyist and will never make a living or enough money to justify the jump to full frame.
First; I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR YOUR FEEDBACK, YOU ARE AN AWESOME GROUP OF PEOPLE AND THIS SITE IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE!
Biggest thing I got from everyone, weather is was a reply to my post or reading someone else s is lenses, lenses, lenses. I went with that advice and I received hopefully three awesome lenses in the mail today.
To complement my Canon 70-200 2.8 IS and replace my old 28-135 I got the:
Canon EF-S 17-55 2.8 IS
Sigma 30mm 1.4 EX DC
Canon EF-S 60mm 2.8 Macro
I can not wait to use these lenses. Next on my list is either the Canon 10-22 or the Tokina 11-16. I like the idea of sticking to F2.8 or faster, but have heard big things about the Canon 10-22 and flair issues with the Tokina, anyway, that's for another thread
Also in my future to complement my Canon 40D is the 7D or is update.
Oh, another surprise I got today is a buddy of mine sent me a dedicated slide scanner to scan all my slides from my film days. I have about 10,000 slides of military aircraft from my film days. I'm currently stationed at Osan AB, Korea without my family so I brought all of them with me to scan.
Once again thank you for all your feedback and kindness for repetitive questions that these type forums generate.
