Realistic (Still able to eat good grade grass): -40D kit only lor...
Still long long way... (Have to eat dry and shitty grass) -D90 -1 50 1.4 -1 18-200 3.5-5.6or something like that...
Am really keen to start DSLR'ing, cannot decide to get down to earth immediately or wait a lil longer for extra funds to aid my dream. Somemore, with Nikon's "check" move, can i even think ahead??? Any news of Canon to follow Nikon's suit???

17-40mm F4 is not the fast lens .. but combine with 1.6x body will become standard zoom lens...

Or even faster, the 50mm f/1.2L QUOTE(168257061) simplest way, save more to get EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS USM, rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif of you want 2470L and jump ff future rclxm9.gif 24-70 not wide enough for me Now headache la, on one hand I want the Tokina 116 f/2.8, but on the other hand, i want that L

USM = Silence. thats my definition after tried the 1755 f/2.8 IS USM I can't tell a "real" fast because my body not really perform fast if you compare with 5D , 50D or 1D/Ds series body.
