However, as suggested I think I will concentrate on some good 'L' glass first before I upgrade the body. The two lenses that were suggested 24-70 f2.8 and 24-105 IS are definitely two considerations. I've just reserved the 24-105 to rent for this weekend. Not a bad deal. As it is a long (3 day) weekend I get an extra day in the rental. For $25 I have it from 4pm on Friday to 11am on Tuesday.
Now that there is an excellent deal. I am sure you will have loads of fun with it. It is about the best walk-around lens going IMO. Light, sharp, and IS to boot. If it is so great, why don't I have it? I have a 17-40f4, 24-70f2.8, 70-200f2.8, so it just does not fit in-between anything I already have. If I did not own the 24-70f2.8 "brick", I would be all over it. Have fun this weekend Asnow and show us your results.
