    How large will you enlarge? Will you crop a lot?

    A fullframe 5D mark I has done me very well for ads printed on posters 30x40. Canon L lenses and prime (non-zoom) lenses are comparable in image quality, so a 50mm 1.4, 28mm f2.8 and 85mm f1.8 can give great results without spending thousands on each lens.. 5D mark II has better low-light, high ISO results than 7D, but 7D has faster AF. It's all a trade off and a matter of what doesn't drive you crazy.

    The only time to get new gear is when the stuff you have drives you crazy and you know it's a gear issue, not a rule of physics you're up against....

    • Got any examples of what you ideally do with the 28mm ?erikjonsson
    • some print ads... not online now... canon 28 F2.8 is sharp but has buzzy autofocus, crops to 45mm on 1.6 bodiesvaxorcist
