Ps. Im enjoying my new 50mm 1.8 that Santa brought me.

Nifty Fifty! I sold mine, I use the 85mm 1.8 more. Saving the $1400 to get an 85mm 1.2 L :D

I love my 50mm the manual focus is kinda annoying but soon enough i should be upgrading bodies.

After the body I have my eyes set on a 24-85 f2.8-4 or the 70-200 f2.8 :dr

There shouldn't be an "or" in there. It should just read "I have my eyes set on a 70-200 f2.8L"

Trust me on this.

Its on the wish list. I just bought a SB-600 with Christmas money.

Spending 2300 on a lens as a college student isnt in the cards. Its on the wish list though. :D I have all the lenses I need for a while (minus a good macro)

I cant wait to get out and shoot with my new flash any pointers from the PROs?

Wow where are you buying your lens? A 70-200 2.8L (non-IS) can be had for just about $1000

Just going by the list price. Either way I will upgrade my body first.

The Tamron 70-200 2.8 is a little over 700 not as crisp but its still pretty good.

I may and I may not. Currently I am very happy with my setup and I dont have a great reason to switch at the moment. I have a Canon G10 with the extension tube and a fish eye and tele lens adapter that works wonderfully on almost everything else.

I am NOT a brand snob Both brands are on equal playing fields (as far as I am concerned) and if I can get into Canon for a reasonable price I will go that way. The 50D and T1i have my attention as of now.

Just ordered myself a Canon T1i with the two lens kit with some christmas GC money. The stock lens plus the 55-250mm EF-S. I'm hoping to get it before my trip to New Orleans on Wed, but I don't think it's going to make it.

I have a canon XS, which is awesome, but I did an infrared modification on it for astrophotography, and now have to use a custom white balance and grey card every time I shoot or change lighting. Kind of a PITA for grab and go shooting.
