er..16k dont think is enought to get you a 5D mkIII body with some L lens la
2 years down, 5d markIII would be new body. that will cost you about 9-10k
just enough to get you a 70-200L F2.8
or...maybe a 24-105L plus a 2nd hand 17-40 la
The new 5D Mark II with kit (EF24-105mm F4L IS USM) is worth RM12,000-RM13,000 (inclusive of recent price increase). So you're left with around RM3,000. With this you can get a fairly decent used EF70-200 F2.8L or maybe an EF17-40 F4L for ultra-wide. OR add RM400+ you can get a new Sigma APO 120-400mm F4.5-5.6 DG OS HSM (worth RM3399 - Key Color MV) to cover the tele range.2 years down, 5d markIII would be new body. that will cost you about 9-10k

Not really an EF100-400 contender but it'll be sufficient. Its lighter, more compact and with good focusing speed (full time manual) and 4 stops of IS. Its not EX built but the IQ seems to be good enough provided you have a good copy.
