Part of me says wait as they will announce a new 5D in February or March. Another part says, it was a great camera, and now it's relatively inexpensive; better get it while you can... Part of me also says, "you have no money for this, stupid!!" ;-) Good luck in January; hope you get lots of fresh snow and clearing storms, Bob On Tue, Dec 13, 2011 at 7:44 PM, Aram Langhans <leica_r8 at hotmail.com> wrote: > And I thought my broken 35-70 was bad.
