They are big and heavy but deliver excellent imagery. One lens that you do not have in your list that I'd recommend is the 24 1.4L. That is a very nice lens and with the excellent high ISO of the 5D it makes available light in even the worst of circumstances. I'd consider the 16-35, 24 1.4, 50 1.4 and the 70-200 2.8. Unless somewhere in the 24-70 range is your favorite shooting area. Since getting the 5D I have found this is my shooting style and my 24-70 gets less use than it used to. > > And, if you'd only keep one lens on your analog M, which one would > that be? > I was thinking of selling everything except for one good M body, and > then buying a Summilux 35 ASPH to glue on it forever.

I really do not think I'd part with any of my M stuff unless I was in terrible straights. > -- Harrison McClary Harrison McClary Photography harrison@mcclary.net http://www.mcclary.net ImageStockSouth - Stock Photography http://www.imagestocksouth.com Tobacco Road: Personal Blog: http://www.mcclary.net/blog
