I had the 14mm before I had the 5d so I was using it on one of the III's so it wasnt really 14 but thennnn I got a 5d and I fell in love all over again, its almost so wide I can see my own shoulders!!
Ya a pair of 30's
The 135 f/2L is the sharpest lens I've ever shot with. Get it - you will be hooked. I sold mine to pay for my 70-200 f/2.8L IS. I still regret it.
And yes, L primes are where it's at. I'm lusting after the 24 f/1.4L, and the 45mm tilt shift right now. That would put me at 24, 35, 45TS 50, and 85 - all L primes. There's just nothing like them!
And just nothing like the cost!
I definitely can't wait to grab the 135, everyone raves about it. I just need to wait until I can justify the cost.
My bank account is hurting after the 5D Mark II...
My webserver is being updated right now so nothing live yet...
I agree on the 135mm its a greatttt lens and sharp as a razor. But your mistaken the 45ts is not an L the 24ts is.
TS is very interesting to me but not quite something I'm ready to invest in yet.
I'm most interested in the primes right now but I've read some issues about the 50's back focusing...this worries me a lot.
I'm considering upgrading my 50mm 1.4 to the 1.2L as the AF motor seems to be on it's way out.
I also want to add a 580EX II in conjunction with my 430EX and play with some flash photography.
So much to do in the world of photography!

Canon 20D
17-85mm EF-S IS USM
BG-E2N grip
Speedlite 430EX
Last month was going to upgrade to a 5D Mk II, but of course, I ended up with:
Nikon D700
AF 24-70mm 1/2.8G ED N
Speedlight SB-600
Benro CF tripod with Manfrotto ball head
2x8GB Sandisk Extreme IV
2 extra batteries
My next acquisition shall be the 70-200mm, but it will be a while; photography is an expensive hobby for a student and even more expensive since I will now only buy good glass.

Its lenses like that that really add fun to photography.
I'm personally dying for a fisheye, I just think I'd have a blast with it.
Pretty much, plus I do a fair amount of architecture work which begs for TS/E.
I find the 15mm fisheye fun, but full frame is a must for maximum comedy and effect (don't expect serious portraits with one...)
I want the lens for the comic fun in and of itself. It'd be a blast to use on my 5D Mark II.
The guys who was selling the cameras said he knew nothing about Canons as he was a Nikon fan. Plus my father was with me and he's also a Nikon fan, so two together makes quite a compelling persuasion force.
And I'm not one bit regretful.
45-degree V-twin vibration. Can you feel it?

Its kind of hard to take a picture of my camera gear when I only have 1 camera. So I can't take a picture. 
I know it is a Canon! I will have to look at everything else.
That Handlebar mount is awesome!
I want one for my 4 wheeler. Would that work?
